However, the game-for-a-laugh university head joined in the fun and pinched the tassel of the toy, allowing it to earn the nickname “the Labubu with the highest education degree”.
A video of the episode at the university’s commencement ceremony in June has become an online sensation, thanks to the huge popularity of this plush doll in China and around the world, Chao News reported.
The woman who graduated in engineering released the clip on two leading social media platforms on June 22.
She said she bought a baccalaureate gown for her Labubu and took it on stage, asking the vice-president if he could pull the doll’s tassel.
“The vice-president seemed at a loss of what to do for a second. But he still pinched the tassel for my Labubu,” said the graduate who has been identified with the alias @xiaojinguailiyang.

“When we took the picture together, he asked me if it was the recently-popular Labubu?” she said.
