On April 22, Ekin Cheng's 2023 World Tour kicked off in Macau, and its popularity continued to grow that year, and tickets sold out quickly, making a good start for the next performance.
Zheng Yijian sang and danced that night, which quickly ignited the atmosphere of the audience, singing "Friendship of Years", "A Man Who Is Willing to Go to the Sea of Fire for You", "I Want You to Know", "Until the Disappearance of Heaven and Earth", etc., and also played a game of throwing ball with the accompanying dancer, and was almost hit in the face, causing the audience to laugh continuously.
Ekin Cheng's wife, Meng Jiahui, supported the audience throughout the process, interacting with fans and taking photos, showing easy-going performance.
However, some netizens posted a live video saying that Meng Jiahui used Japanese to communicate with fans, which caused heated discussions.
In the video, some fans communicated with Meng Jiahui in Japanese, and called Meng Jiahui with "yoyo-san", and Meng Jiahui also replied in Japanese, after this video was exposed, there were many critical voices on the Internet, many people pointed out that Meng Jiahui spoke Japanese throughout the audience, and complained that she regarded herself as Japanese, which is simply admiring foreign and forgetting her roots.
Hong Kong media reported this on April 25, revealing the reason why Meng Jiahui spoke Japanese in Macau, it turned out that she brought Japanese friends to watch Ekin Cheng's performance that day, during which she may have been separated from her Japanese friends because fans ran over to take pictures, resulting in her separation from Japanese friends, Meng Jiahui would wander in the audience, and shouted "Aki-san" in Japanese, fans also coaxed her to "yoyo-san" after listening to it, but did not expect to be reported by netizens that "she is speaking Japanese the whole time", which is ridiculous.
For Meng Jiahui speaking Japanese offstage, Zheng Yijian did not respond, he said in an interview afterwards that the concert was successfully held, and thanked his fans for their support. During the interview, Zheng Yijian also brought two junior sisters to talk about their experiences together, and the three talked and laughed, and they were in a very good mood.
Zheng Yijian and Meng Jiahui have been married for ten years, and they do have a soft spot for Japan, the wedding is held in Tokyo, Japan, and they also like to go to Japan for vacation on weekdays, Meng Jiahui has opened a real estate company in Japan in recent years to provide services for Chinese netizens who moved to Japan, because the epidemic relationship studio has stopped, but Meng Jiahui is not in a hurry to return to China, but to study in Japan, and it is not surprising to recognize Japanese friends.
Previously, the two were rumored to have immigrated to Japan, and Ekin Cheng repeatedly refuted rumors in interviews last year, denying immigration to Japan, saying that their failure to appear in public did not mean that they had left Hong Kong, China, and felt that they needed to take a break and enjoy a private space.
Zheng Yijian started his tour this year, and will inevitably perform in the mainland in the future, if you see Meng Jiahui speaking Japanese with the people around her, there is no need to shout and kill, after all, not every Japanese understands Chinese.
