    In the Know - 2025 Weibo Night Chaos

    Fans erupted into chaos during the 2025 Weibo Night because of a mix up/change in seating arrangement that caused Xiao Zhan and Yang Mi (Weibo King and Queen) to not be able to sit for the event. Fans were outraged and even shouted during the evening. Meanwhile, the overly waxed/slippery floors caused quite a few people to slip or get injured in the evening. Suffice to say, odd drama to occur on an otherwise snoozeworthy event.
