Introduction

In a scandal that's taken social media by storm, popular actor Chang Chia Sheng has found himself in a precarious position following the leak of direct messages between him and a fan. The messages, now public, contain a series of highly suggestive comments that have sparked outrage and forced the actor to publicly address the situation.

The Leaked Messages

The drama unfolded when a series of messages were leaked, showcasing Chang engaging in a flirtatious conversation about private cinemas, known for their intimate settings complete with beds and booths. The actor made several sexually charged remarks that many have deemed inappropriate, especially given the nature of their interaction.

In one exchange, when a fan mentioned that they were unfamiliar with these types of cinema, Chang eagerly explained what they are, stating they are typically places where couples go to relax and watch older films: "Chang Chia Sheng: 'Have you been to U2?' Fan: 'No. Is that a cinema?' Chang Chia Sheng: 'It’s the type with private booths, and you can watch movies. There are pillows and such, so you can lie down.'"

Escalation of the Situation

As the conversation progressed, the fan expressed confusion as to why the chat was turning suggestive, to which Chang backtracked, claiming he was joking, but the tone of his messages suggested otherwise. He even hinted at wanting to take her out for meals, with awkward comments regarding their relationship as fan and actor, showing a disregard for professional boundaries.

The situation escalated when Chang made a comment about the fan's clothing in light of Taiwan’s colder weather, leading to further controversy: "Chang Chia Sheng: 'You can wear less when you’re seeing me.'"

Public Backlash and Apology

This comment, in particular, triggered a wave of backlash on social media, prompting many netizens to label the actor as unprofessional and inappropriate. In response to the flood of complaints and criticism, Chang Chia Sheng released a heartfelt apology, acknowledging the immaturity of his actions and the discomfort he caused. In his statement, he emphasized the importance of professionalism in interactions with fans and expressed regret for crossing the line. He stated: “Hi everyone, this is Chang Chia Sheng. I’m making this announcement today with sincere apologies... I would like to apologize to fans who felt uncomfortable with my frivolous language. As a public figure, I should be conscious of my words and actions."
