Japan's Ichikawa City Zoo is the latest zoo to benefit from one of their animals having a viral moment online. Other macaques at the zoo, oblivious to the outcast's rising fame, have been documented bullying poor Punch. Now Punch is hanging out with real-deal celebrities. Yesterday Lisa from Blackpink posted photos on her Instagram stories of herself visiting the macaque exhibit at Ichikawa City Zoo, holding up an orangutan plushie in Punch's honor. Judas Priest’s Rob Halford has also showed off his Punch merch.
