Singer Stefanie Sun reacts to Chinese idol Xiao Zhan's post on her concert

Straits Times29-04-2025

Chinese idol Xiao Zhan wrote a post on social media after attending Stefanie Sun's concert in Shanghai. And the Singapore singer has reacted to her long-time fan.
Sun recently started her first world tour in a decade, titled Aut Nihilo, with four concerts in Singapore on April 5, 6, 12 and 13. The 46-year-old performed in Shanghai on April 26 and 28.
Xiao, a fan of Sun since before he entered the entertainment industry, shared four photos of the concert on Chinese social media platform Weibo late on April 26.
'I used to wonder what I would be when I was 25 years old, while listening to your song Youth Without Limits (2003), but I am getting further away from the age of 25,' the 33-year-old wrote. 'I have been working hard to become an adult who shines like you.'
The singer-actor ended the post with lyrics from Sun's songs Encounter (2003), Best Days Of My Youth (2014) and The Pursuit Of Contentment (2017).
Sun commented on his post late on April 27: 'You have already shone as an adult. Jiayou, Xiao Zhan.' 'Jiayou' is an expression of encouragement in Mandarin.
He thanked her for the comment and wished her good night and sweet dreams.
Xiao made his debut with Chinese boy band X Nine in 2016, and his popularity rocketed after starring in the Chinese period fantasy drama The Untamed (2019).
He had defended Sun on social media in April 2021 after a young netizen called her an obscure singer and claimed few people in China had heard of her songs.

Taiwanese Influencer Known for Consuming Beauty Products on Camera Dies

A Taiwanese influencer Guava Shuishui, known online as Guava Beauty, died an unexpected death at the age of 24. Shuishui, who had more than 12,000 followers on Instagram, was popular for her videos in which she would consume the beauty products she was reviewing. Shuishui Died of a 'Sudden Illness' A post written in Chinese and Korean on her Instagram account said she died on May 24 from a "sudden illness," according to an English translation. No further details were provided on the cause of her death. "Although this trip came suddenly, Shuishui held on to every difficult moment just like she has always been – hard-working, serious, and shining," the post read. "Thank you to everyone who has liked, left a message and laughed with her, and thank you for your love and support. She really keeps it in her heart and cherishes it very much." "Guava Shuishui simply continues to glow in a different place. When we meet again one day, she should be unboxing angels' exclusive makeup for eating broadcasts over there!" Shuishui Was Known to Consume Beauty Products In several videos, Shuishui could be seen applying cosmetic products to her face and then doing a taste test. In one popular video, she tried on a jelly blush before scooping the entire product out with a fork and biting down on it. In the caption, she stated that children under six weren't allowed to watch her video and the product was "forbidden to eat." Shuishui had drawn criticism in the comments section for eating the product and questioned whether she would take responsibility if someone was misled by her video. According to the South China Morning Post, social media users were speculating about the cause of Shuishui's death, with some suggesting she may have died due to poisoning from consuming the beauty products.

'Please say hello from afar': Jay Chou hounded by fans in Kyoto, his makeup artist falls and fractures leg, Entertainment News

When two superstars meet, fans can go wild. Jay Chou's recent outing with Japanese singer-actor Tomohisa Yamashita in Kyoto led to the former's makeup artist and friend, Du Guozhang, being caught in the crossfire. In videos posted by fans on Douyin, the King of Mandopop, 46, can be seen exiting what appears to be a restaurant with Tomohisa, 40, surrounded by a large crowd of people as they try to get into a van. Jay posted on his Instagram Story later: "Brother Du broke his bones at two parts of his leg, please say hello from afar, don't follow! "But he's still very humorous, so I'm relieved." Du can be seen in a wheelchair with his left leg in a cast. Jay joked in a follow-up Instagram Story: "I feel bad for Brother Du, but I still want to ask if anyone took a photo of him falling down." Jay shared Instagram posts of himself and Tomohisa in Kyoto over the last few days. [embed] On his second post from June 3, he edited the caption to reiterate: "By the way, if you meet us, please say hello from afar. Yesterday was a bit dangerous."
