Boys Planet winner Zhang Hao has found himself at the center of controversy as photos allegedly showing him in a gay love affair have surfaced online.
While some netizens are convinced the images are proof of the relationship, others argue that the rumors are baseless and possibly harmful to the rising star.
Claims of Zhang Hao's Affair
Rumors began when an individual, referred to as the "exposer," claimed to have met and slept with Zhang Hao on multiple occasions. The exposer shared a tweet stating, "Zhang Hao debuted, now I've slept with an idol." They further shared a photo, claiming it was a "rare item" from their encounters.
Some netizens have supported these allegations, stating that Zhang Hao is well-known within the gay community in his hometown of Fuzhou, China. They also claim he posted in a local gay community forum.
Debunking the Rumors
Several people have stepped up to support Zhang Hao, arguing that there is no solid evidence to support the exposer's claims. A netizen also argued that the singer is quite popular with lots of fans taking photos with him.
"A lot of people like Zhang Hao, so you can only imagine the number of people who have taken a photo with him. As soon as his photo appears online, numerous rumors start flying."

Another netizen warned that those spreading the rumors might face legal consequences, saying, "The original post was removed, so if you're releasing it here, you'll get sued, you better get ready."
Legal Ramifications and Zhang Hao's Agency's Response
With the rumors continuing to gain traction, there are concerns about potential legal action against those spreading the allegations. Some netizens have reminded others that Zhang Hao's agency, Yuehua Entertainment, is known for pursuing lawsuits in similar situations.
One commenter also added, "Yuehua will sue you people. I bet you don't you know they're good at it, right? Actually, it's also easy to sue people on Pann too." Another added, "It's easy to trace back personal information on Nate Pann with your ID. All I have to do is gather your information and send it as a PDF file to get you sued. Yuehua will be doing it right away."
As the controversy surrounding the Boys Planet champion's alleged gay love affair continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the situation will ultimately be resolved. While some netizens firmly believe the rumors to be true, others remain skeptical of the exposer's claims and are urging caution in spreading unverified information.
