Veteran actor Jackie Chan is being criticized online after a viral video from a September 29 concert in Macau showed him in close contact with singer Joey Yung.
In the clip, Jackie Chan, wearing a gray suit, sat next to Yung, who wore an off-shoulder evening gown. At first, he rested his hand on the back of her chair. Later, he appeared to place his hand on her shoulder and lightly pat her back. The gesture prompted her longtime manager Albert Yeung to intervene and switch seats with her.
The footage has since spread across social media, triggering heated debate. Many netizens condemned the actor, accusing him of inappropriate behavior:
- “That’s harassment, plain and simple.”
- “Even top female celebrities face these uncomfortable moments.”
Others defended Chan, suggesting the incident was a misunderstanding. They argued that he and Joey Yung have known each other for years and that the interaction could be seen as a friendly gesture rather than harassment.
Joey Yung’s team has since issued a response, clarifying that Jackie Chan has always been polite and respectful toward her. They emphasized their long-standing friendship, urging the public not to misinterpret the interaction.
Despite this, the viral video continues to spark intense online discussions, highlighting the fine line between casual interaction and conduct perceived as inappropriate—especially when it involves high-profile figures.
