Onlookers claimed the pair passed through security side by side, interacted with fans, and entered the lounge together, giving further weight to the idea that the trip was real and ongoing.

Tiger Hu’s reaction to onlookers

According to reports, Hu Yanbin responded directly to people around them by encouraging them to document what they saw. He is said to have told bystanders: “Post it on social media, let them know it’s not AI,” clearly pushing back against the claim that the beach video was artificial.

Message to fans and public stance

Later, Hu Yanbin addressed the situation in his fan group chat and on social media, speaking to the concerns of his supporters. He apologised for the emotional turmoil, saying he was “deeply sorry” that fans had to endure so much, while also stressing that he never meant to hide anything but did not feel obliged to share every detail of his private relationships.

Hu Yanbin’s firm statement

In his message, Hu expressed a more defiant attitude toward public opinion and the power of fandom. He summed this up with the striking line: “You made me and you can destroy me,” highlighting both his gratitude and his frustration with the intense scrutiny around his personal life.
