Actually, many Chinese people often make regional or ethnic comparisons when commenting on appearances, because…
Yes, China has 56 officially recognized ethnic groups, so people are generally quite used to cultural and ethnic diversity. Because of that, comments about someone looking like they belong to a certain region or ethnic style are often not seen as offensive. People even think it’s interesting or cool if someone has non-Han ethnic features.
That’s also why this part of the conversation was not edited out — most people did not interpret it as having any negative meaning, but simply as a comment about a certain regional or cultural style.
However, in many Western countries, issues related to race are much more sensitive because of the history of racism. As a result, a sentence like this can easily become politically sensitive when viewed in a different cultural context.

Honestly, it makes me really sad to see such a kind person facing online harassment. I understand that people who don’t know him might misunderstand him based on just a few words.
But he is one of the most genuine and kind-hearted people I’ve seen in the Chinese entertainment industry. He truly treats his fans like friends and would never want to hurt anyone.
I’m sure this situation has made him feel very guilty and upset. I just hope he takes care of his health. He has been filming nonstop and has already lost so much weight.
His blunt comment on SEA going viral .. I'm little concerned about this matter, he shouldn't have said about that…
Actually, many Chinese people often make regional or ethnic comparisons when commenting on appearances, because China is so large and people from different regions have distinct looks. When he made that comment, he wasn’t thinking too much—he just felt that his portrait resembled a Southeast Asian style. He’s always been a kind, sincere, and humble person, and his Instagram is managed by his team.

why all of his best dramas are in iQIYI? I don’t have their subscription 😭
Yeah, his high rating dramas like Story of Kunning Palace, My Journey to You, The Best Thing are all on iQiYi. You can just subscribe for a month and binge them all! 😊
Director’s preference. Also, Linghe isn’t a native Mandarin speaker so perhaps the Director specifically wants…
As a native Mandarin speaker, I think his Mandarin is very standard and doesn’t have any noticeable regional accent.
Historical dramas often use dubbing because filming locations are usually very noisy. Actors can record their own lines later in post-production, but ZLH has been filming one drama after another and almost doesn’t have the time to dub his own lines, so a voice actor was hired instead.
