January 3 is the singer and Zeng Yike's birthday, but she has become a hot topic in another way - her performance on the night of December 31, 2022 is protected by fans.
Some fans reported that Zeng Yike's performance on the evening of December 31 was "half an hour late", "DJing for more than an hour", "refused fans' requests to sing more songs", etc. This caused discontent, and many people were present during the show. People chanted "pay back".
Zeng Yike's studio issued a statement saying that Zeng Yike was not late and explained some of the events that happened. But fans aren't buying it.
【1】Appears half an hour later
Doudou (pseudonym), who works in Shenzhen, has been a fan of Zeng Yike for 13 years. He said that he has been following Zeng Yike's activities for many years and has also seen Zeng Yike's live performances. He had always loved her.
In December 2022, Doudou heard that Zeng Yike was coming to Shenzhen to perform, and two performances were held on December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2023. The show on December 31 will star in the early hours of the morning, which means fans will celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve night with idols.
Doudou reviewed the publicity of the show. The poster contains information such as "Duration: 3 hours or more" and "Additional songs: 4 or more songs". The details page of a ticketing platform said that the show was "limited across Chinese New Year's Eve", which means "limited to super time: more than 3 hours, double time, double fun", "limited to 4 performances" + new hits" and "only 4+ hits". New interactive links" and so on.

Thinking that he could celebrate the New Year with his idol, although the performance tickets were much more expensive than usual, Doudou still spent 680 yuan to buy tickets for December 31.
Subsequently, he also paid close attention to the specific situation of the show. The show will begin at 9:00 p.m. on December 31, 2022 and run until the early hours of the morning. The venue for the performance is LiveHouse in Shenzhen.
A few days before the start of the performance, the relevant personnel also gave instructions to watch the performance. The instructions show that supporters can line up after 1:00 a.m. to pick up their numbers and be given priority to pick up their numbers. Doudou knew that the LiveHouse venue was not large, and he didn't really want to squeeze into the front row, so he didn't take the number and entered normally.
Doudou told Jiupai News that he had a little accident on the way to the show and was delayed for a while, so he entered the room around 9:00. To his disbelief, the show had not yet started after he arrived at the venue.
After standing there for more than ten minutes, Zeng Yike finally appeared. The video taken by Doudou shows that at 21:34 that night, Zeng Yike beat a drum on stage.

The rest of the time was probably Doudou's happiest night. After Zeng Yike took the stage, he sang continuously for more than an hour. Around 11 p.m., Zeng Yike told fans that this part was over.
The staff invited fans present to take a group photo. The attitude of the fans is very positive. Doudou thinks the atmosphere here is still very good.

At this time, a person who Doudou did not know came to power. Doudou feels that people's performance can be said to be "very bad". "We said Number Three wished her (Tseng Yike) a happy birthday, and he didn't even know whose birthday Number Three was," not to mention his bad interactions.
But Doudou comforted himself and said that it didn't matter, he had come to listen to Zeng Yike speak. After ten painful minutes, Zeng Yike returned to the stage and started DJing.
Doudou thought DJING was just a small episode, so he just listened. At this time, the entire audience did not notice this problem. "Ten minutes passed and she was still playing. Twenty minutes passed, and she was still playing. Half an hour has passed, why is she still playing? What makes Doudou angry is that the songs played by Zeng Yike have little to do with her, just some songs that can be heard in bars.

"The place is small, a lot of people come early, there is no water to drink, they are thirsty and tired, and many people are just sunbathing, who will jump?" Doudou said, though they all know that dancing is part of DJing. But the scene can't move at all. He packed the audience and let the few invited fans dance on stage. He just felt that he had been "confused" and "didn't expect this to be the case".
What was supposed to be warm was getting colder. What heated up was the fear of the scene and the dissatisfaction of the fans. "There was someone shouting that they wanted to solve the problem of fans drinking water, and we wanted to hear her sing, but she didn't hear it on stage, saying do you want to go home or dance?" In Doudou's opinion, the fans' demands were ignored. They felt cheated: "We came to hear her sing, not to see her DJ." ”
Some fans shouted "return money" in anger, and then more people joined in, and the sound of "money back" mixed with the music of the venue.

In this chaotic performance, the wee hours of the morning quietly came. Doudou remembers clearly that there was no special ceremony at that time. He and fans in the audience "inexplicably celebrated the New Year."
Subsequently, Doudou waited in line for more than an hour to get his autograph, and finally returned home at about 3 a.m. in the early morning. "As soon as I lay down, I started to get angry, so angry that I couldn't sleep well these days, and my dreams were all about defending my rights." Doudou said.
[3] The studio's response was not late
Dissatisfied with the performance on the 31st, Doudou and others defended their rights in the fan base, but until today, no one in the fan base has responded to them.
Doudou said: "I have no objection to Zeng Yike's performance, I am angry about their false propaganda. He thinks the poster doesn't mention DJing at all. Since Zeng Yi is a singer, they naturally think that their performance can sing. "If they make it clear that it's a DJ, then people who want to watch will still buy it, and people who don't want to watch won't come, and that's okay."
In addition, he felt that the length of the day's performance did not match the publicity. He calculated that the advertised performance was more than three hours, but even if you add up the DJing time of the day, it was only 2.5 hours, and Zeng Yike's singing time was only about 1.5 hours.
After paying a high ticket but not enjoying the symmetrical performance, Doudou felt "a great grievance".
On January 3, 2023, in response to the controversy surrounding the performance on the evening of the 31st, Zeng Yike Studio issued a statement saying that he did not leave the scene from the time Zeng Yike himself arrived at the scene at 3 pm to 3 pm on January 1, leaving the scene in the early morning. It was not because the marketing number spread rumors that Zeng Yike himself was half an hour late.

He also explained some events of the night, such as the title of the night's performance was "Zeng Yike Private Touch Tour Leave the Old Welcome New Limited Double Special"; It is not the "Double Time Double Happiness New Year Special" rumored by the marketing account; The reason for the night was because of the bad network, the ticket inspection speed was slow, and the performance was delayed by half an hour; Live DJs are also part of the performance. "This part of the content may not be liked or accepted by some audiences, but it is not a deception of the performance", etc.
Doudou said he felt chills after reading the statement, which he felt was arrogant and flickering. "I don't know if Zeng Yike is on the scene, but the performance is indeed delayed by half an hour, and even if the live broadcast network is not good, it will load after a while, so it will not be delayed for so long."
Not only him, but also many fans who watched the performance on the evening of the 31st expressed dissatisfaction with this statement. They lodge a complaint with the relevant authorities.
Jiupai News contacted Zeng Yike and his studio, but as of press time has not received a response.
Doudou said he was disappointed with the performance because "the show was not in place from pre-planning to execution to aftercare."
Now they are still defending their rights, hoping that Zeng Yike can face up to the problem, give them a reasonable explanation, and compensate them for the corresponding losses.
