The incident unfolded on February 23 when Su's wife, identified only as "沈女士" (Ms. Shen), discovered that her husband had blocked her access to his live broadcasts. This revelation quickly became a viral topic on Chinese social media platform Weibo, where it reached over 110 million views.
According to reports, Su had received a ten-year VIP membership for the live-streaming platform from fellow internet personality 蒲熠星 (Pu Yixing), known for his comedic content. Su, in an unconventional decision, chose to block his wife from accessing his content in order to enjoy the exclusive benefits of the membership for himself.
The story has sparked a flurry of reactions on Weibo, with users both praising and criticizing Su's choice to block his wife. Many found humor in the situation, with one user commenting, "Haha, this is taking it to the extreme!" Another user joked, "But everyone is just a part of their play, right? The Allen Su family just has a humorous family atmosphere, and Allen Su really loves his wife." Some users even expressed admiration for Su, calling him "a good man in the entertainment industry and a capable businessman."
However, not all reactions to the story were positive. Some users criticized Su's decision, with one commenting, "How can a grown man be so petty? He should focus on his career instead of playing these childish games." Another user wrote, "Do they even have joint assets? How can he just decide to block her like that?"
The controversy surrounding the story has also been a boon for the live-streaming platform, with some users encouraging others to check out the platform to see what the fuss is about.
Prior to this incident, Su was known for his light-hearted demeanor and comedic content on various Chinese social media platforms. The 32-year-old singer and actor has amassed a significant following, with his unconventional style and witty humor resonating with fans across China.
It remains to be seen whether Su's unorthodox decision to block his wife from his live broadcasts will affect his popularity or the public perception of his character. However, one thing is certain: the story has provided ample material for social media users and news outlets alike and has sparked a lively debate about the boundaries of humor, privacy, and relationships in the digital age.
