When this incident happened, many onlookers and drama fans on the internet turned into Yanyan fans.
Wenyan's social media follower count also soared by the millions every day.
Which fan wouldn't envy having such a capable star to stan?
'Ahhhh I'm dead, seriously, I told you guys our Yanyan was definitely in the right. I've been a fan since she filmed "Voiceless," when she spoke up for the trafficked girls, that's when I knew her character was solid.'
'What's more admirable is that she didn't just speak out; after the filming ended, she continued to follow up on the matter, even personally going to the police station. Back then she was just an unknown actress with not much clout, but she was still very committed to the cause.'
'Me too, me too. She had just debuted when I fell for her after seeing her audition tape. I thought this newcomer had such a spirited face and eyes, and I figured why not nurture her.'
