The moment that made Memed go viral actually started from a post by a friend named Edi Sound Horeg, a content creator. From there, the public began to associate his name with the term "Thomas Alva Edisound," which has stuck ever since. His sleepy face in a video also became an unexpected source of entertainment.
"That came from my friend. My friend's name is Edi Sound Horeg, his account name is also a content creator. And every time he makes a post, it always has the watermark Edi Sound Horeg. Maybe friends connected it to that. Then they linked it to Thomas Alva Edison, changing it to Thomas Alva Edisound. Maybe that's it. I didn't expect the video to blow up. If I'm not mistaken, that viral video was when I was in the Pati area. And I had just arrived about an hour before and then set up the sound. So my face still looked sleepy or something," Memed recalled the beginning of his viral fame.
