According to Sohu, on January 6, the social media accounts Douyin, Weibo and Xiaohongshu of Chinese singer and actor Lu Han were banned from being followed by others.
On Weibo, Luhan's account currently states: "This user has been banned from following due to violating the law or Weibo regulations." On Xiaohongshu, it states: "This user has been banned from following due to violating community conventions."
The news quickly climbed to the top of Weibo's hot search. Fans were confused because they didn't understand what was happening.
That same afternoon, Lu Han spoke up about the incident. The actor apologized for his inappropriate actions during the previous livestream.
Luhan said: “For setting a bad example during the live broadcast, I sincerely apologize. I am willing to actively overcome the negative impact this incident has caused on society and take responsibility as an artist.
In the future, I will be more strict with my behavior and use real actions to express my regret to everyone."
At the end of November last year, Lu Han caused a heated controversy when he appeared on livestream with a strange, out-of-control expression. His face was red, his eyes were dull, and he showed many angry and swearing expressions. The actor even raised his middle finger, shocking many viewers.
Netizens suspect that Lu Han drank alcohol or used stimulants before livestreaming.
Also in that livestream, Luhan was criticized by EXO fans when he played the song "The first snow" and said: "I don't know if I can sing this song. Forget about SM, Lee Soo Man (founder of SM Entertainment) has left the company anyway."
In 2015, Luhan and the Kpop boy band EXO had a messy breakup. He filed a lawsuit against SM Entertainment and left the group. Since returning to China, Luhan and the EXO members have limited interactions or mentions of each other.
According to the media, Luhan's unstable situation may stem from his difficulties in his acting career in recent years. Luhan's film projects have failed to generate revenue and have not created a buzz.
Lu Han was criticized for not having acting ability and trying to create noise to attract attention.
