In 2016, Shawn Yue publicly announced his relationship with Sarah Wang, and the couple held their wedding in Australia the following year. On the 27th, he posted a photo of himself riding a motorcycle on social media, captioned: 'Road trip—A man's romance.' Some netizens criticized him for indulging in pleasure and ignoring the Hong Kong fire incident. Not long after, Shawn Yue deleted the photo from his IG and Threads, and shared multiple fire-related news reports and relief information via IG Stories.
Earlier, Shawn Yue also shared a statement from his brand 'MADNESS,' expressing that as a Hong Kong brand, even though resources may be limited, they still want to contribute to those affected by the fire. 'We will donate this week's earnings to support victims impacted by this fire tragedy—especially for post-disaster rebuilding and recovery related to mental stress, psychological health issues, and trauma experienced by pets.'
