The police released an anti-fraud promotional video, even inviting an internet celebrity to participate, but a female police officer who resembles actress Puff Kuo unexpectedly stole the spotlight. Netizens commented that they paid no attention to the anti-fraud message and were instead completely focused on the beautiful policewoman throughout.
Recently, the Xinzhuang Precinct of New Taipei City, Taiwan, posted the behind-the-scenes process of filming an anti-fraud short clip on their Facebook page, inviting influencer “Hong Youxiang” to co-star. The campaign used a lighthearted, humorous approach to convey anti-fraud knowledge.
The page revealed that laughter abounded on set, but emphasized, “Learning with laughter works too!” and specifically noted the officer nicknamed ‘Xinzhuang Puff Kuo’ due to her resemblance to the celebrity.
This policewoman personally demonstrated anti-fraud techniques, stating: “Losing out on money is one thing; getting completely wiped out is truly tragic.”
As a result, after the video was uploaded, netizens’ attention was drawn entirely to the officer’s striking appearance.
Because of her strong resemblance to entertainer Puff Kuo, 20-year-old policewoman Lu Ziyu, who now serves at the Touqian Police Station under the Xinzhuang Precinct in New Taipei City, has become a rising star in law enforcement with her outstanding looks and tall 170 cm stature. Her lively and outgoing personality also attracted notice right upon her reporting for duty.
Xinzhuang Precinct specifically selected her for the anti-fraud PSA, likely hoping her attractive appearance and approachable personality would raise public acceptance of anti-fraud information.
Some netizens confessed, “I didn’t pay any attention to the anti-fraud content; I watched the policewoman the whole time.”
Others said: “I don’t know why I keep rewatching a video I’d normally have zero interest in.”
This unexpected response brought extra attention to the anti-fraud campaign, resulting in an alternative promotional effect.
