In today's age of social media, celebrity popularity and fanatical support from fans often take center stage.
Recently, Hong Kong's top Jiang Tao's birthday carnival once again set off a heated discussion, triggering people's thinking and warning about star-chasing culture.
Jiang Tao's image, fan behavior, and social repercussions all highlight the problems and challenges brought about by the star-chasing mania.
Jiang Tao, nicknamed the first handsome in Asia and the third handsome in the world by netizens, his image is controversial.
Although there have been song awards that have been evaluated as surpassing Jacky Cheung, this has not made it free from the ridicule of netizens.
And as he is about to celebrate his 25th birthday, Jiang Tao's popularity is heating up again.
Fans held large-scale birthday celebrations for Jiang Tao's birthday, the most notable of which was the birthday banquet held at Hong Kong's Ocean Park, which attracted nearly 7,000 fans.
These fans span all age groups, from youth to middle-aged and elderly, showing Jiang Tao's cross-age appeal.
Jiang Tao came to the birthday banquet in person and interacted with fans for photos, showing affinity, but also aroused attention to fans' behavior.
The fanaticism of fans has reached extreme levels, especially after Causeway Bay became the theme of Jiang Tao's birthday feast.
At night, there are events such as illumination and free train rides, which make you marvel at how frenetic it is.
However, this kind of fanatical behavior has also caused safety hazards and social controversy, and even affected the normal life of passers-by.
Jiang Tao's popularity has caused a lot of controversy and criticism in society.
Some netizens began to question his talent and charisma, believing that he was not enough to have such a large fan base.
On some social media platforms, people started talking about it.
Someone said: I don't understand why Jiang Tao is so popular.
His singing voice is ordinary, and his dancing is nothing special.
I really disagree that he can become 'the No. 1 coach in Asia and the No. 3 coach in the world'.
Another netizen added: That's right, I don't understand either.
In my opinion, his image is not so prominent, and it can even be said that it is ordinary to the extreme.
Could it be because he had already achieved something at a young age? But that wasn't the only reason for his popularity.
Some netizens began to question whether the fans' behavior was too crazy.
Someone commented: I think Jiang Tao's fans are a bit too much.
It's understandable to have a birthday party, but it's too much to turn the whole Causeway Bay into his birthday feast, right?
Yes, I think so, too.
Their star-chasing behavior has gone beyond the normal range.
Whether it's to show your love for idols or for other reasons, such a move is a bit overdone.
In addition, some netizens began to discuss the issue of respect for personal preferences.
I feel like everyone has their own idols, and there's nothing controversial about that.
However, we should respect the choices of others and should not force others to accept our own idol view.
That's right, I couldn't agree more.
People who like Jiang Tao can continue to support him, but they should not impose their preferences on others.
After all, everyone has a different perception of beauty.
Jiang Tao's popularity has triggered a deep reflection on star-chasing behavior in society.
People are beginning to realize that star-chasing behavior is not just a personal preference, but also has an impact on the lives and social order of others.
Some netizens said: I think the current fans are getting more and more excessive, and they don't hesitate to break the bank in order to chase stars, and even affect the lives of others.
This behavior is a bit excessive.
Yes, I think so, too.
It's normal to like idols, but you can't ignore the feelings of others because of that.
Sometimes the behavior of the fans is really a little hard to understand.
Some people have also raised questions about the boundaries of star-chasing culture: we should re-examine where the boundaries of star-chasing are, and we can't let this behavior cross the line.
After all, the interaction between celebrities and fans should be healthy.
Yes, I think there should be a balance between being able to support your favorite celebrities without affecting the lives of others.
After all, social order and the free choice of individuals are important.
In general, Jiang Tao's popularity has triggered social thinking and warnings about star-chasing behavior.
People realize that star-chasing is not just a matter of personal preference, but a matter of social order and individual rights.
Some netizens said: I think fans should chase stars rationally and not be overly crazy.
After all, there are still a lot of important things to deal with in life, and you can't always revolve around one star.
That's right, I agree.
Chasing stars can certainly make people happy, but it can't ignore other aspects of life.
It's normal to chase stars in moderation.
There are also calls for healthier interactions between celebrities and fans: interactions between celebrities and fans should be equal and respectful.
We can't let star-chasing behavior become an unhealthy competition.
I don't know if you still remember, on November 10, 2023, a controversy about Jiang Tao's lip-syncing once again set off waves on the Internet.
A netizen questioned his singing skills, and Jiang Tao replied to this netizen mercilessly.
This incident quickly sparked heated discussions among netizens and became a hot topic of the day.
Some netizens expressed their understanding and support for Jiang Tao's reply: I think Jiang Tao has the right to defend his image, and everyone has times when they are slandered.
This netizen provoked first, and Jiang Tao's reply was reasonable.
That's right, I think so too.
Jiang Tao is also a human being, and sometimes he can't help but get angry.
What's more, being questioned about lip-syncing will definitely affect his image, and it is understandable to reply.
But some netizens also questioned Jiang Tao's reply: Although being questioned about lip-syncing hurts self-esteem, as a public figure, you should deal with this kind of thing more calmly and rationally.
Retaliation will only cause greater controversy.
Yes, I also think Jiang Tao is a bit too aggressive.
As a star, you must learn to be patient and rational, and you can't get angry at every turn.
Subsequently, Jiang Tao posted another status, saying that he was sorry that he really couldn't bear it, and hung the netizen's photo on his homepage.
This move sparked more disgust and criticism from netizens.
I think Jiang Tao is doing this a bit too much.
As a public figure, you should have a certain level of cultivation and demeanor, and you can't hang other people's photos on your homepage at every turn.
Yes, I think so, too.
This kind of behavior is too naïve, and it completely loses the demeanor that a public figure should have.
On November 11, Jiang Tao issued an apology for hanging photos of female netizens.
He said that he was deeply sorry for his aggressive behavior, and promised to deal with similar incidents more calmly in the future.
This apology sparked the understanding and support of some netizens.
I think it's really not easy for Jiang Tao to have the courage to admit his mistakes this time.
I believe that he will be more mature and more rational in the face of such provocations in the future.
Yes, I also think Jiang Tao's apology this time is very sincere.
After all, no one is perfect, and it is inevitable to make mistakes, the key is to be able to admit mistakes and correct them.
To sum up, the star-chasing mania behind Jiang Tao's popularity has made the society aware of the seriousness of the problem.
We need to find a balance in the star-chasing culture to ensure the stability of social order, while also respecting the rights and choices of individuals.
