Overseasidol.com — Chinese singer, Yuan Yiqi, who embarked on a solo career in 2024, recently faced a disturbing incident of sexual harassment during a flight from Guangzhou to Shanghai.
According to eyewitness accounts and fan reports, a male passenger repeatedly changed seats to approach Yuan, secretly took photos of her, and used derogatory language targeting women.
Remaining composed throughout the ordeal, Yuan discreetly gathered audio and photographic evidence before calmly confronting the man upon landing.
Videos taken by fans at the airport showed her assertively telling the individual not to take photos or use misogynistic terms.
She also made sure to protect her team and fans nearby during the confrontation.
Yuan’s studio later issued a statement asserting their right to pursue legal action and reveal the identity of the perpetrator if necessary.
Fortunately, the incident did not disrupt her professional engagements.
Yuan’s actions have been widely praised online, with many hailing her as a symbol of female empowerment.
Her behavior has sparked renewed dialogue around sexual harassment, privacy violations, and gender-based discrimination, issues that many feel remain underaddressed due to a lack of visibility or supporting evidence.
Yuan is also remembered for past acts of kindness, including reportedly helping individuals in crisis, further solidifying her positive public image.
