On February 2, 2025, former Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen released a short video featuring her day out hiking at Yangmingshan with her beloved pets, a dog named Lele and a cat known as Pineapple Girl. The video attracted attention when Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim commented, "So envious!"
The footage captures Pineapple Girl excitedly jumping onto Tsai, reminiscent of a playful "year beast attack," which amused many viewers who flooded the comments section with likes and positive remarks.
In her video, Tsai noted that it was the third day of the Lunar New Year and expressed her hope that everyone had been well-rested and well-fed during the holiday. She encouraged viewers to get outside and enjoy the fresh air, saying, “If you have been well, today is a great day to go out and recharge. If not, get up quickly and stretch your legs.”
As the video progresses, Pineapple Girl leaps towards Tsai, causing her to stumble back against a wall with a surprised exclamation. The light-hearted moment captured the audience's attention. Tsai continued her hike with Lele and Pineapple Girl, humorously commenting on how easy Lele finds hiking compared to Pineapple Girl, who she likened to pulling a cart.
Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim's comment about being envious of Tsai’s freedom to stroll outside prompted Tsai to respond playfully, suggesting they invite Lai Ching-te for their next hike together. This charming interaction between the two leaders resonated well with netizens.
