Overview
- Thousands of fans gathered early for a Molsion eyewear appearance by Zhang Linghe on Sunday, May 31, and a rush when the mall opened caused a large glass entrance panel to break.
- Local authorities and multiple outlets confirmed five people suffered minor cuts and were taken to hospital for treatment while the in-person event was cancelled and replaced by a livestream.
- Zhang Linghe’s studio apologised and said it will reimburse travel and accommodation losses for affected fans who submit claims by 12:00pm on June 3 with payments targeted by June 15.
- Sponsor Molsion arranged medical checks for the injured and pledged tighter on-site safety measures while the actor’s team said it will conduct an internal review of event preparations.
- Public commentary and a lawyer quoted on social media pointed to the Civil Code as a basis to hold the mall and event organiser mainly liable, raising the prospect of legal claims over crowd-control failures.
