I hope C kiwis continue to support him no matter what. i know we are all angry with Hesong but i hope they can…
They support him not the drama and the shady production team along with hesong. He has to come out to mediate and idk how things will turn out in the offline support.
HMH: I'm currently preparing diligently for my next role, and I'm really looking forward to it myself. I hope…
With the fandom in disarray, it is natural for him to come out and reassure his ๐ฅs. Since the majority are protesting against Hesong and refusing to cooperate, it is highly likely that Hesong and the drama's production team have requested him to address the fans and ease the tensions. They are well aware of the scale of HMH's fanbase, as demonstrated by the sold out attendance at his concerts and from previous offline supports from his dramas before, so they are undoubtedly concerned that sign ups for the offline support activity in Hengdian for this drama are nowhere near the numbers seen during his previous dramas.
"Hou Minghao's fans are in an uproar, and it's not just because of the drama "้ฟ็้ชจ/Chang Sheng Gu/ Longing for my Beloved".
Itโs more as though, after holding back for so long, theyโve finally reached their limit:
You can let him work hard, but you can't treat him like someone who doesn't get tired.
He was just performing live on "Singer 2026," his vocal cords recovering from swelling; and now he's bombarded with tours, drama promotions, and joining a new drama production. What fans want is actually very simple, let him have a long-term career, not just focus on this current wave of popularity.
What's even more frustrating is that before, there was vague information, denials, and no mention of joining the production in the schedule. Come 20th June, when filming was set to begin, fans were suddenly asked to contribute both money and effort.
Of course, fans are furious.
It's not that they don't care about Hou Minghao; they care about him too much.
Thatโs why some say they wonโt spend a single penny or contribute a single data point; thatโs why some have criticized He Song; and thatโs why some have even lost faith in the fan club itself.
On the surface, the fansโ boycott appears to be directed at the fan support activities.
But in reality, what theyโre resisting is that sense of:
The artist shouldering the burden at the front, whilst the agency waits in the background for the fans to foot the bill.
What has been most moving about Hou Minghao over the years is not the quality of the resources heโs had, but the fact that he has always seemed to be saving himself. If he wanted to sing, he practiced on his own; if he wanted to promote his work, he taught himself; when he was criticized, he did his best to deal with it on his own.
But no matter how resilient an artist may be, they shouldnโt have to rely solely on โtoughing it outโ for everything.
This is also where fans find themselves in the most difficult position right now. If they criticize the agency, they fear it might affect him; if they donโt, they fear heโll continue to be treated this way.
So the ugliest aspect of this controversy isnโt that fans arenโt supporting him, but that even though an artist has worked this hard, everyone is still left wondering:
Have the people around him ever truly had his best interests at heart?"
I called it! I knew that Hesong is playing ๐ฅs like a fool. Stringing us ๐ฅs all along and leaving all of us in the dark. And now the fan circle is thrown into chaos. I just know when they dropped that June itinerary, I can feel they are hiding something and it's a disaster waiting to happen. I am not wrong. Now ๐ฅs are refusing to participate in the offline support in hengdian and the fanclub had to put their second post about the offline support for the drama to the settings "visible to fans only" with their emotional blackmail. And btw, in their first post confirming his participation, they don't dare mention the drama's name.
What a circus ๐คก. I just know fans refusing to attend the offline support will lead to bunch of yxhs with their insulting materials again. They will circulate those pics to mock him. What a fcking mess ๐ค.
