On March 2, fashion blogger Li Yudong reportedly his ex-girlfriend publicly tagged authorities while accusing top C-pop star Joker Xue of emotional deception, infidelity, and even “bigamy,” alleging he maintained two families at the same time. She claimed she had long been mislabeled as a “third party” and subjected to years of online harassment. However, as of now, she has not released concrete evidence to support the accusations.
While the allegations quickly climbed trending searches, anti-fans began resurfacing old concert clips of Joker Xue’s on-stage interactions with female fans.
Old Concert Clips Spark Heated Debate
Joker Xue is known for his humorous and playful stage persona. His concerts are famous not only for music but also for lengthy interactions with fans – a signature element many supporters consider part of his charm.
However, in one resurfaced video, he asks a female fan displayed on the big screen about a scratch near her chest, joking: “Did your cat scratch your chest? Was it a cat… or someone else?” The fan appears visibly embarrassed, using her hair to cover herself and avoiding eye contact.
In another clip, he is seen scanning a female fan up and down before commenting that she looks “very fair.” Critics argue that, from his vantage point, he may have had a direct view of the fan’s chest area, prompting accusations that his remarks were inappropriate. As public standards around celebrity speech grow stricter, jokes once seen as playful are now being reexamined through a more critical lens. Some netizens labeled the behavior as insensitive or even public harassment.
Fans Push Back
Supporters have come to his defense, stating that the context was lighthearted and that the audience at the venue laughed along without discomfort. One attendee claimed the singer initially only asked whether she owned a cat and whether the scratch was caused by it, describing the atmosphere as relaxed and humorous.
Adding another twist, several media outlets later reported that the female fan shown on the big screen was allegedly not randomly selected but a pre-arranged KOL invited by a related company. According to these claims, she was positioned strategically for filming, raising speculation that the interaction may have been partially scripted for publicity.
If true, some viewers argue this would shift the narrative from spontaneous banter to staged marketing. Critics say such tactics could undermine trust by manipulating genuine fan interactions for promotional effect.
With personal allegations still unresolved and old footage fueling fresh criticism, Joker Xue now finds himself at the center of mounting public debate. Whether the interaction was improvised humor or pre-planned engagement, the incident underscores how rapidly shifting public standards can reshape the perception of past actions.
