I’m honestly laughing at some of these videos. This is the same toxic cycle we’ve seen with BTS, now being pushed onto Chinese actors and actresses. Because of Speed and Love, YouTube is suddenly flooded with rumors about who He Yu is supposedly dating. Let’s be real—let the man live. Who he dates is his business, not fandom property. Being a fan does not give anyone the right to control an artist’s personal life or rewrite their story. And here’s the part people refuse to acknowledge: this level of pressure is dangerous. Relentless rumors, harassment, and “good boy” expectations don’t just damage careers—they damage mental health. We’ve seen what happens when artists are pushed to the edge: depression, burnout, disappearing from public view, or worse. Yu Menlong didn’t just “vanish” for no reason. That silence should have been a wake-up call. These are human beings, not fictional characters. They are not here to perform emotional obedience for anyone’s fantasy or jealousy. And yet some corners of fandom act as if they don’t care what happens—as long as they get content, clicks, and control. Enough. Leave He Yu alone. Leave Esther Yu alone. Let actors and actresses thrive, work, heal, and live their lives without being hunted by rumor mills that put real people at real risk.
