Popular Actor Slides Into Fan’s DMs With Sexually Suggestive Messages
Actor Chang Chia Sheng has come under fire after private messages between him and a fan were leaked online, revealing several shockingly sexual remarks. The leaked tests have caused quite the controversy, which forced the actor to address them in a recent statement.
In one of the exposed screenshots, Chang is seen initiating a conversation about a type of cinema known for private booths and beds. When the fan expresses unfamiliarity, he explains that it’s a place where couples usually go to lie down and watch older movies.
Chang Chia Sheng: “Have you been to U2?”
Fan: “No. Is that a cinema?”
Chang Chia Sheng: “It’s the type with private booths, and you can watch movies. There are pillows and such, so you can lie down.”
Fan: “It sounds like those private movie theatres in Mainland China. Are the movies there just like those in regular cinemas, or can you watch older movies?”
Chang Chia Sheng: “It’s the type where you can watch older movies! Usually couples go there :joy:”
Fan: “Ah~ Then it’s exactly like those private movie theatres in Mainland China hahahaha. Usually couples go there too. I’ve never been.”
Chang Chia Sheng: “Do you want to go?”
Fan: “What’s going on? Why is the chat suddenly moving towards this direction? Aren’t people who go there usually couples?”
Chang Chia Sheng: “I’m joking”
Fan: “Are you kidding me ^^”
Chang Chia Sheng: “No. I’m afraid this is a bit awkward so that’s why I said I was joking.”
He mentioned wanting to take her out for meals but worried it might be inappropriate due to her being a fan of someone he knows. The two eventually exchanged Line IDs — a messaging platform popular in Taiwan — and Chang even brought up how convenient it was to send each other money through the app.
Chang Chia Sheng: “I don’t know if I should treat you like a friend or a fan.”
Fan: “I’d be super willing if you treat me like a friend 😎 Which one do you think I am?”
Chang Chia Sheng: “I don’t know. I want to treat you like a friend, but you’re (redacted)’s fan.”
Chang Chia Sheng: “[Fan: But why are you hesitating to be friends with me because of this?] Because you’re (redacted)’s fan. It’s strange to be friends with you(?) Because I want to take you out for meals, but I’m afraid that might not be appropriate. I’m treating it like a friend came to visit from another place.”
Chang Chia Sheng: “You have line pay!? [Payment app in Taiwan] It’s so useful.”
Fan: “Yeah, I created an account for Line in Taiwan.”
Chang Chia Sheng: “Friends can even send each other payments. It’s so convenient.”
Fan: “Oh, you can even make transfers! I don’t have friends on Line. None of my friends really uses it.”
Chang Chia Sheng: “Should we add each other?”
Fan: “Sure. Can we add by scanning a QR code?”
Chang Chia Sheng: “Yep.”
Fan: “Should I scan yours, or should you scan mine?”
Chang Chia Sheng: “You scan mine.”
Fan: “Okay.”

However, it was one final message that many netizens found even more inappropriate. After discussing the cold weather, the actor spoke directly about what the fan “can” wear.
Chang Chia Sheng: “The news said it’s going to get colder starting today. It’s going to be very cold for a few days, please wear lots of clothes.”
Fan: “You too. I thought Taiwan wouldn’t get too cold, so I didn’t bring any thick clothing.”
Chang Chia Sheng: “You can wear less when you’re seeing me.”
Following the backlash, Chang Chia Sheng released a written apology, admitting that his actions were immature and careless. He apologized to the fan, his supporters, and the production team of his recent project, acknowledging that he had crossed a line and caused discomfort. Below is the translation of Chang’s words related to the leaked DMs.
“Hi everyone, this is Chang Chia Sheng. I’m making this announcement today with sincere apologies.
Recently, my intimate online private interactions with a fan and my lack of effort in movie promotions have led to discussions. First of all, I would like to apologize to fans who felt uncomfortable with my frivolous language. As a public figure, I should be conscious of my words and actions, be professional and act appropriately when interacting with fans. I’m really sorry for making you all uncomfortable. Additionally, I would like to sincerely apologize to all the fans, production team members, and everyone who had always supported me. Because of my carelessness and immaturity, I’ve not only let everyone down, but also caused inconvenience to some people.
I’m deeply reflecting on my actions, and have realized this type of actions not only damages my own reputation, but also harms the trust and boundaries between fans and an artist. As a public figure, I have the responsibility to maintain a healthy and positive method of interaction, as opposed to causing misunderstandings or making anyone feel uncomfortable.
I promise I will handle interactions with fans more carefully in the future. I will be professional at all times and adhere to the industry’s rules. I will be better at self-management and ensure something like this won’t ever happen in the future.”
