After the personal accounts of well-known Chinese male actor and singer Lu Han on multiple social media platforms showed that they could not be followed on Monday, Lu's studio issued an apology statement on his behalf. In the statement, Lu sincerely apologized for his inappropriate behavior during a livestream and pledged that he would impose stricter self-discipline in the future to demonstrate his remorse to everyone through concrete actions.

Lu committed to actively addressing the negative social impact caused by the incident and to take on the social responsibilities that an entertainer should shoulder, according to the statement.

During a livestream in the early hours of November 29, 2024, Lu was reportedly drinking, where he angrily fired back at his anti-fans, swore, and threw the finger to detractors, according to Jimu News on Monday.

The incident quickly went viral on social media, prompting widespread debate among netizens. Some expressed support for Lu's confrontation with anti-fans, while others criticized his behavior as inappropriate for a public celebrity, said the Jimu News.

In 2008, while studying in South Korea, Lu was discovered by SM Entertainment and became a trainee under the company. In 2012, he officially debuted as a member of the South Korean boy group EXO. In 2014, he terminated his contract with SM 
Entertainment to return to China and further his career, according to the report.
