Overseasidol.com — Support continues to grow for Chinese actress Shen Yue amid the ongoing controversy involving her and Dylan Wang on the variety show The Inn 2026.
On May 25, host Zoe Conglin, who previously worked with Shen Yue, publicly expressed her support.
In her statement, Zoe shared her empathy, saying she was saddened to see a kind and gentle person being misunderstood.
She explained that what was originally intended as a warm and supportive message was misinterpreted due to wording, turning it into something that sounded like mockery.
Zoe also recalled her firsthand experience working with Shen Yue, describing her as careful, considerate, and highly professional.
She noted how Shen Yue would arrive early to prepare, pay attention to the emotions of staff members, and interact with others respectfully, even in small gestures.
The controversy began after Dylan Wang admitted on May 23 that he felt uncomfortable during the award segment of the show.
Initially thinking he was being overly sensitive, he later acknowledged that his feelings were valid after seeing public discussions.
In response, Shen Yue issued a public apology, clarifying that her words were based on an inside joke and intended to convey closeness rather than criticism.
She emphasized that she had no intention of belittling any colleague.
