Yin Chengjue's eyes darkened, and he immediately clicked on the blogger's GIF, only to find that someone was dancing to the theme dance of the brother's debut.
The person in the GIF is blurry, wearing a casual white outfit. Their figure does resemble Rong Yu's somewhat, but their face is so blurred that even their mother wouldn't recognize them.
Even so, under the blogger's deliberate hints and guidance, many people speculated that this person was Rong Yu, who had the fastest dance learning speed, since this would explain why Rong Yu could learn the Spreading Feather Dance so quickly.
People generally don't believe in perfection; even the most flawless jade will be examined with a magnifying glass to find its imperfections. Therefore, they prefer to believe in "practicing beforehand" rather than "learning it in no time."
It's as if only by finding a person's flaws and shortcomings can one acknowledge that they are a complete person.
Compared to the theory of genius, they are more willing to advocate the theory of hard work, because the saying "as long as you work hard, you will succeed" can also be interpreted as "the reason why I am not successful now is because I am too lazy to work hard. When I start working hard, I will definitely be better than I am now."
That's why keyboard warriors get so excited when this kind of "leaking" of exam questions occurs.
Look! This person didn't just learn it at a glance! He practiced beforehand! The production team leaked the questions!
Yin Chengjue opened the comments and saw a barrage of sarcastic remarks.
Mo Shang Tian Sang: Sigh! He just has a powerful backer! I've long suspected there was something fishy about his debut.
663 Wuwo: In comparison, Mingqian is much more genuine. If she doesn't know something, she just admits it and practices diligently. That kind of perseverance is more valuable than anything else! Isn't that what an idol should be like?
Faint Glimmer: I saw an indomitable spirit in Ming Ge, and I saw the capital to deceive in Rong Biao.
Sun and Moon Shining Together: Resisting disreputable artists and Rong Yu's violation of competition rules.
Amidst a barrage of defamatory comments, Rong Yu's fans' attempts to defend themselves sounded utterly weak and ineffective.
Little Fish: The GIF is so blurry, how come everyone is convinced it's a fish? Did you see it with your own eyes?
Fish, charge!: Putting aside whether this person is actually a fish, we don't even know when this was filmed. Is it fun to pin the blame on someone else?
Soon after, the blogger reposted a comment from Rong Yu's fans, saying that the video was being uploaded and that once the video was watched, the fans would have nothing to say.
Yin Chengjue remembered that in his previous life, some people seemed to have questioned whether Rong Yu had practiced the theme dance in advance. Moreover, because Rong Yu did not have a public relations team to explain to her, the blame was simply placed on Rong Yu's head.
As Rong Yu was without internet access and had her phone confiscated during the show, she was unable to defend herself immediately. By the time she tried to explain after the show ended, she had already been criticized online for two whole months.
It's quite impressive that Rong Yu managed to achieve second place amidst such overwhelming criticism.
The blogger's video was quickly uploaded to Weibo, and it soon became a trending topic again.
The video was recorded with a camera and has a clear time on it. It was indeed before the start of the recording for the brother's debut. However, because the distance was too far, the face of the dancer was still blurry. You could only vaguely make out that he was a man with a good physique.
After this incident was exposed, the official Weibo account of the show's debut immediately stated that there was no leak of the questions and asked netizens not to make wild speculations and to respect the contestants' efforts.
However, the official explanation was ambiguous, failing to clarify Rong Yu's situation or identify who was in the video. It was better not to explain at all.
Yin Chengjue knew very well that the production team wanted to take advantage of the situation to create hype. After all, arguments generate traffic, and the contestants' reputations had nothing to do with them. Their only benefit was increasing the show's exposure through debates, so they were naturally willing to sit back and watch this free traffic come to them.
Yin Chengjue knew that the person in the video was not Rong Yu at all, but the male instructor who taught the trainees to dance. It was normal for an instructor to know the dance in advance and then practice it. He just didn't know why someone else filmed it and then used it to lie that Rong Yu had practiced in advance.
The trainees had their phones confiscated and were without internet access. Didn't the mentors have internet access either? But this simple matter was dragged on for two months. Rong Yu debuted as the second-place winner and, after getting online, explained that the person in the video wasn't her. Rong Yu's fans then dug deep into the matter with a magnifying glass, eventually finding the ring and tattoo on the man's hand in the video. Just when they were about to uncover the identity of the male mentor, he stepped forward to claim his identity.
Even though you can't even see their faces clearly, Yin Chengjue is truly impressed by these people's ability to hype themselves up.
Yin Chengjue originally didn't want to get involved, but when he thought about how Rong Yu had endured such a baseless stain in his previous life, and how she had both looks and talent, yet her ranking was behind Ming Qian, a tone-deaf zombie, Yin Chengjue felt inexplicably annoyed!
No! We can't let these people succeed!
So Yin Chengjue directly took a screenshot of the man's tattoos and ring in the video and tagged the male mentor's fan leader.
Return from Hell: @悠悠花香 Excuse me, is this Professor You Huachuan?
Coincidentally, a big fan of Rong Yu was gritting her teeth while reading the sarcastic comments under the blogger's post when she came across Yin Chengjue's post. She immediately compared it with You Huachuan's information and paid special attention to the tattoo on You Huachuan's hand. She got excited and immediately rallied her friends to split up and take action.
One group tagged You Huachuan's fans asking for verification, another group searched for pictures and videos of You Huachuan, and yet another group praised the handsome guy in the video for his great physique.
Passersby saw that Rong Yu's fans not only did not "kowtow and admit their mistakes or apologize," but also...
They even praised the person in the video for having a good figure, and many people called Rong Yu's fans brainless, saying that they had abandoned all moral principles in their pursuit of their idol, and that such artists who violate the rules of the competition should be banned.
Mingqian's fans also jumped out to assert their presence, praising Mingqian for being so fresh and refined. Although his singing and dancing skills are not yet up to par, he is more genuine, diligent, and hardworking than Rongyu!
