They continued, "It has been confirmed that the stalker followed the artist for a long time according to their movements, made threatening remarks, and attempted to approach persistently.

He explained, "That person followed me for about 30 minutes, shouting aggressively in Chinese right next to me, and I couldn't return home. Therefore, I walked to the nearby police station to seek help and ensured that person could not follow me anymore." He continued, "I became scared that the person would ambush and follow me again, so I ended up being escorted home by a police car," and warned, "I know who you are, and I intend to take legal action." He expressed anger, stating, "You even physically assaulted me. So don't think I will do nothing. This is a serious violation of my privacy and safety."
