It was then discovered that at the time, both artists participated in a TV program for iQiyi. Internet users were able to uncover the exact photo of Huang Zitao and his rumored girlfriend, wearing the same images from the original photo.
Huang Zitao quickly held a live stream to address the concerns of his fans. He vehemently denied the dating rumors between him and Xu Yiyang. As he spoke about why the photo of him and the female star was his profile photo in an online messaging application, he explained that it was because he thought the picture was beautiful.

Huang Zitao also expressed regret for hurting Xu Yiyang.
During the live stream, Huang Zitao is seen getting heated, saying, "I do not feel the need to explain myself. I am not a criminal, and I am not going to be jailed." The idol is also heard saying, "Does the person in prison not sleep well?"
Internet users believe these statements are a jab at Kris Wu, his former co-member in EXO. Currently, Kris Wu is in custody on suspicion of raping women — some being underage — administering drugs, sex trafficking, and more. The Chinese star is currently in the Beijing Chaoyang Detention Center.
