Late at night on August 8, an audio that was exposed as NEXT member Ding Zeren's "confession" to female fans appeared on Weibo's hot search. On August 9, Ding Zeren responded on Weibo, saying he was "mind-controlled" by the fan.
The audio of this network transmission was described by some netizens as an "inferior radio drama" texture. In the audio, Ding Zeren said in a slow but powerful tone: "Sister, I repeat, you are my sister, you are not my fan." You don't want me to hear you say you're a fan anymore. I don't hear those two words anymore, hear no more. I say it to you again, I am sincere with you, you are my sister, you are my only sister! ”
At noon on August 9, Ding Zeren posted on Weibo that he had taken "Mirror1119 Ding Zeren" as his sister and "once felt that she was my mentor in life", but the other party asked him to "report to her every day for 10 years", "frequently swearing, trying to restrict my personal freedom through mental control, and instigating and threatening me to commit suicide, self-harm, and even often harass my family.".
Ding Zeren said that he was under "long-term mental pressure and suffering", and he was tortured and even had several acts of taking his life. He said he had cut ties with the other side and had reported the incident to the police.
The update of the "Mirror1119 Ding Zeren" Weibo account stopped on July 28. On the same day, the account released six screenshots, posted its own rescue records and luxury purchase receipts, saying that "in just four years, it cost you no less than three million", but Ding Zeren "fell in love behind the back of fans, cheated when in love", and privately discussed colleagues and so on.
In a clarification weibo, Ding Zeren apologized to the company and colleagues: "I'm sorry, I let everyone down. After deep reflection, I have seriously realized my mistakes and shortcomings. I should not talk about others behind my back, and say a lot of blind arrogance, low emotional intelligence and hurtful words, causing harm to the company, seniors, colleagues, and friends who have helped me. ”
