Popular Idol’s “Cry For Help” After Sudden Retirement And Shaving Her Head Spikes Concern

Last year, former girl group member Jin Zihan made headlines with updates about her career.

In 2020, the Chinese survival show Youth With You 2 aired, showing the formation of girl group 1THE9. Among the trainees, several who did not make the final group still stood out, including Jin Zihan, who later debuted as a member of the group NAME.

In April 2025, Jin Zihan announced her retirement and left the group. Later that year, she surprised many by suddenly appearing with a completely shaved head, a drastic change from her previous look.

On March 7, Jin Zihan made several posts on social media, including one where she addressed a scandal involving her blocking male idol Cai Xukun. She claimed that she had been manipulated by someone who made her do immoral activities, including the scandal involving Cai Xukun.

She also shared a song and its lyrics, which raised further attention. The song, “Fear, Sex” by Magdalena Bay, includes lyrics like “Get me out of this mess” and “I’m sending out a distress.”

This, combined with what many considered her “worrying appearance” in recent public sightings, has deepened concern about her health and wellness.
