Recently, a Netizen spotted a tall, bare-faced woman at a supermarket in Guangdong and posted photos online, asking whether she was Jin Zihan. The 27-year-old former idol, who previously participated in the survival show Youth With You 2, made headlines last April when she announced her retirement from the entertainment industry. Her health and psychological well-being have since drawn concern.
Jin Zihan herself appeared in the comments and confirmed that the woman in the photos was indeed her, saying, “That’s right! I was made homeless a few days ago! But please delete the photos! My situation is already very bad!!!” In subsequent comments, she revealed that after being lured to the city, she was allegedly drugged, saying, “I was severely poisoned that day!!! For four days, I could only sleep on a chair.” She also indicated that her ability to move around had been restricted.
In a lengthy post on social media, Jin Zihan shared her account of what had happened. According to her, someone had impersonated a person claiming to know her family and spent several years gaining her complete trust, eventually becoming her “best friend.” She later discovered that this person had no actual connection to her family. She alleged that the individual repeatedly took her personal belongings and all her savings. As a result, she said she had gone two years without buying new clothes, bags, or shoes, living frugally until she eventually ran out of money and had to borrow from friends to get by. She also said she had been lured to an unfamiliar city, discovered that her passport had been stolen, leaving her unable to return home.
Many have expressed concern, urging her to report the matter to the police and contact her family. Others have also voiced concerns about her well-being.
