Followers of Chinese entertainment would know that overzealous fans tend to cause more trouble than good. A group of fans went to meet Xu Kai at the airport on March 16th that ended up causing a major inconvenience for the actor. A netizen who couldn’t stomach it wrote up a list of what happened that is now trending online.
Apparently, Xu Kai had his shoes stepped on, was filmed and followed as he rested and went to the bathroom. His phone fell and broke in the scuffle. His bag went missing all while dozens of phones where held in front of his face to take photos.
Never mind that mobbing someone at the airport is never condoned because it causes trouble for other passengers as well, but it seems that the current tide has made it hard for actors to speak up. Xu Kai only chuckled when left to inspect his broken phone. Later on, he shared some selfies he took on the plane with the hashtag, “Meeting beautiful.”
Xu Kai’s boss Yu Zheng reacted by strongly by repeatedly reminding people to be sensible towards their idols. He also said that their agency Huanyu Film is recruiting bodyguards and applying for airport VIP access for Xu Kai. He said that haters will criticize them for acting self-important, but it’s a person’s life and no laughing matter.

I've only just discovered Xu Kai and just watching his dramas today. Now this – it's sad really, the actors have no life. I was watching bts bits and it takes a whole crew working hard, not just the actors but they're the ones exposed so have no privacy.

To be so popular and rich with his looks does come with a price…. There are lots of talented actors who are not even near his popularity and wealth. All comes at a cost.

OKAY. Why didn't he have all that shit in the first place??? Security to the max, VIP escort, to be far away from the delulus as possible. I really love him and wish him the best in his acting career, but wtf these people are stupid af. I feel for him. It sucks.
