The bigger his beautiful face gets, the more handsome he looks"). Another echoed this sentiment, remarking on the display's surreal quality and their eagerness to visit Chengdu to experience it firsthand. The timing of the announcement on May 20th adds another layer of significance to the campaign. Known in China as a day for expressing love, 520 aligns phonetically with "I love you" in Mandarin, making it a fitting date to launch a campaign centered around self-love and care.

Wang Yibo's fans, often referred to as "Motor Sisters," have shown overwhelming support for the collaboration, with many pledging to purchase Yan Zhi Wu products. Shopping receipts and orders from Yan Zhi Wu's Tmall flagship store have been shared widely on Weibo, showcasing their commitment to supporting their idol. One enthusiastic fan posted, “昨天晚上睡得早，早上开完会先选了三样，燕窝粥每天早餐，冰糖燕窝和鲜炖燕窝，可以每天来一杯，摩托姐姐永远相信王一博，摩托姐姐任何时候都支持王一博” ("Last night I slept early.
This morning, after the meeting, I chose three items. Bird's nest porridge for breakfast every day, rock sugar bird's nest, and fresh stewed bird's nest. I can have a cup every day.
