According to SETN, a colleague recently revealed the current state of veteran host Hu Gua and his female assistant LanLan following the controversial chest-touch incident on the variety show Super Sunday.
The source shared that Hu Gua has become saddened and withdrawn since the incident. The MC was known to have a close relationship with LanLan. The colleague also unintentionally revealed that LanLan had a boyfriend, stating that Hu Gua was also very close with her partner.
However, LanLan denied having a boyfriend through her management agency.
Her agency explained: “Xiao Zhen may have mistaken a friend that LanLan had dinner with for her boyfriend. At that time, the two only had feelings and were getting to know each other, but were not officially dating. Currently, she is still single.”
Recently, while appearing on the long-running variety program Super Sunday, Hu Gua sparked controversy due to an action deemed inappropriate involving LanLan.
Specifically, during a game segment, LanLan was seated holding a ball on her lap, and Hu Gua had to sit on her thighs to pop the ball. As Hu Gua reached to stabilize her shoulder, his hand unexpectedly slipped down to her chest.
Beyond the chest-touching incident, the nature of the game itself—requiring a male host to sit on a female colleague’s lap—was also criticized as inappropriate.
The moment was captured by viewers and quickly spread across social media, drawing a wave of outrage. In the video, LanLan appeared to show visible discomfort and pain.
Following the backlash, the production team issued a public apology, and the broadcasting network announced that the controversial segment would be edited out of future episodes.
Hu Gua, a long-standing figure in Taiwan’s entertainment industry, has seen his public image suffer greatly due to this incident.
Meanwhile, Super Sunday, which has been on air for over 20 years and has long been loved by viewers, is now facing scrutiny as a result of the controversy.
