So Xinyu, a Chinese member of TripleS, went on Fromm (the messaging app) and straight up told her fans that Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau all belong to China. This came completely out of the blue, and her fans were understandably shocked. They told her to be more careful with her words and to stop talking about the topic but she doubled down and replied, “Why should I? Did I say something wrong?”
Then she added, “Don’t subscribe to me on Fromm if you disagree.”
Like… that is a CRAZY thing to say. She was so unapologetic about it, I had to do a double take reading what she wrote.
What makes this even more insane is that one of her groupmates is literally Taiwanese. She clearly DGAF. Maybe she doesn’t even interact with her? I mean, it’s a 24-member group, it wouldn’t be shocking if they barely know each other. But that’s beside the point. She’s still part of the group and if she had any modicum of respect for her groupmate, she would have kept those opinions to herself and not go off like that unprompted.
I’ve never seen an idol be this aggressively blunt about taking the “One China” stance. And I certainly didn’t expect an idol to say this in 2025. Wtf is she doing?? Did she really think sharing her conviction was no big deal and she’d get away with it scot-free? Is she trying to bring the group down with her? I’m really curious to see how the label’s gonna handle this. Whatever ends up happening, she’s just made an enemy out of a lot of people around the world.
This article summarizes the situation if you wanna check it out.
