On December 18, some netizens discovered that a short video account named "Western Selection" appeared on the Douyin platform, which not only has a similar name to Dongfang Selection, which has recently fallen into a "small composition turmoil", but also a male anchor who appeared on the camera is also somewhat similar to Dong Yuhui, and is called "Oriental Selection High Imitation Number" by netizens.
"Western Selection"
Video content that has been published by "Western Selection".
It is understood that "Western Selection" released the first video content on the afternoon of December 17, and conducted the first live broadcast on the evening of the same day, and the account once said that the first live broadcast had nearly 1 million views. It is worth mentioning that the above-mentioned male anchor once said in the video that "if he is drenched in the snow together, he will be considered a white head in this life", and this sentence also appeared in the promotional video of Dongfang's selection of "Jilin Xing", which was read out by Dong Yuhui.
Douyin can no longer search for "Western selection"
The surging news reporter noticed that at present, the Douyin platform can no longer search for "Western Selection" accounts, but at present, you can still see "Western Selection", "Western Selection of Good Things" and other similar account names. Regarding the account of "Western Selection", the relevant person in charge of Douyin said that the account involved counterfeiting and improperly gaining popularity, and the platform has banned the account, withdrawn the live broadcast permission, erased the improper acquisition of fans, and canceled its profit-making permission.
Previously, according to Elephant News, the person in charge of the "Western Selection" live broadcast room responded that the account was taken offline by the Oriental Selection Report, and although the report said that there was a risk of infringement, he had checked that the Western Selection trademark had not been registered, and he did not think that it had caused infringement. At present, it has applied for the trademark of the Western selection account, and it is expected to come down tomorrow. After 3 days of preparation for the start of the broadcast, the anchor was found temporarily, because the anchor looked very similar to (Dong Yuhui), and he thought of an idea temporarily. At present, live streaming will not be considered in the short term.
