Social media reacts with memes as Ray admits he never actually served in the Taiwanese Military—he just played 2K for 4 months

Taiwanese streamer Ray recently revealed something that caught the internet off guard. After a prolonged social media break, Ray came back with a shocking announcement. The reason stated for the break was that he was serving in the army back in his hometown. However, the streamer clarified by taking to social media that he never went to the army, but had been away from the online clout for his mental well-being.

So, who is Ray? For the ones who don't know him, let's dig deeper and learn some context. When Ray approached American YouTuber Kai Cenat as a fan during his Japan tour, little did he know how tables were going to turn. Cenat was soon impressed by Ray and included him in his Twitch streams, giving Ray the much-needed exposure.

Ray set off on his own Twitch journey and gained thousands of followers over a short span by August 2024. However, when he went off his social media for a while, rumors had it that Ray was taking a break from while supposedly serving the Army.

Cut to March 2025, he had made a surprising appearance in one of Adidas' ad campaign, though he was yet to make a comeback as a streamer. Ray had recently helped a live session where he opened up to his viewers audience about his whereabouts.
