Hua Ge recently went to Singapore to watch the Lady Gaga concert and was spotted by fans outside. Besides generously taking photos with fans, he was also seen smoking by a trash can. The fan posted the photo on Xiaohongshu, and despite the cigarette being pixelated, there were still netizens who criticized Hua Ge for smoking in public, saying it tarnished his image.
