However, it was clear from the tweets that the majority of users are in favor of transparency, asking for official announcements regarding these relationships. Several users also expressed support for Wang Junkai and Yi Yangqianxi's potential marriage, showing the wide range of perspectives on this issue.

The news of Hsiao's proposal to his manager has stirred up a storm on Weibo, both in terms of fans' reactions and the discussion surrounding controversial figures.
