Chinese actress Esther Yu Shuxin shot to fame last year with "Love You Seven Times", and her popularity was even expected to surpass Zhao Lusi. However, recent allegations of her bullying other cast members and family involvement in corruption have caused her sweet image to crumble overnight. Even the filming of her new drama "A Glimpse of Southern Rivers" has been indefinitely postponed. For the past two months, Yu Shuxin had disappeared from the public eye, but she was recently spotted at the airport. She was still energetic, greeting fans cheerfully. However, netizens captured her from another angle and found that Yu Shuxin was actually waving and fake smiling at thin air, seemingly arranging for people to film her greeter scene to create the illusion that many fans were there to welcome her. This made netizens speechless and scolded her for being pretentious and fake. In contrast, Zhao Lusi often updates fans openly on live streams, leading people to think Yu Shuxin is less straightforward and honest, which may explain why her popularity is now much lower than Zhao Lusi's.
Yu Shuxin currently has no public schedule, but she was spotted at the airport twice recently—both times late at night. She wore a white top and black long pants, and after getting out of the car, she waved towards the woods, but all the fans were actually gathered on the other side, so she was caught waving to the air, leaving people utterly bewildered.
In fact, when Yu Shuxin was extremely popular in the past, there were almost always bodyguards blocking her path wherever she went. Some fans revealed that when they tried to film her in Thailand, they were stopped, and only pre-arranged photographers were allowed to take flattering photos. She seldom greeted fans then and was very cold in attitude. After her scandals broke, Yu appeared for the first time with a very friendly demeanor toward fans. The stark contrast, plus her being caught enthusiastically interacting with thin air, caused many fans to leave her fandom altogether. It is reported that she has lost more than two million fans across major platforms.
