Overview
- Footage shows the 20-year-old getting out of his car after several people surrounded the vehicle and one woman allegedly yanked at the door in an underground parking area on Aug. 21.
- In the video he appears to swing at the woman and knocks her phone away while the footage does not clearly show him striking her.
- Short clips of the encounter have spread across Weibo and X and reached millions of views, driving intense online attention.
- Yu’s fan club has publicly demanded stronger security and possible legal action against sasaeng fans, while Times Fengjun/TF Entertainment has so far issued no public response.
- The incident has sharpened debate over invasive fan behaviour, the limits of acceptable responses by idols, and whether agencies must change protections for young performers going forward.
