Most comments are directed at him rather than his bride.
Recently, an idol announced his marriage to a fan, surprising netizens.
In 2016, the Chinese survival show X-Fire, a collaborative effort between EE Media, Tencent Video, and SM Entertainment, formed the boy group X-NINE.
Zhao Lei, who appeared on Produce Camp in 2019 and debuted as a member of R1SE, is also a group member.
Recently, the idol shared a notice on his account and let fans know he would be getting married, which surprised some because of who he was engaged to.
During her time as a viral influencer known as QKO, Zhao Lei’s wife was known to be a diehard fan of her future husband. She encouraged people to vote for him on X-Fire, which isn’t uncommon for fans, but she took her stanning a step further by keeping track of Zhao Lei’s schedules and going to the airport to see him. In fact, QKO once revealed that she met her boyfriend, believed to be Zhao Lei, during a flight in 2016.

The two have since married, and Zhao Lei has faced many negative comments, though not in the way one might expect.

- “It’s my first time seeing a bride purposely let the groom have better makeup.”
- “Hahahahahaha”
- “An idol dating and letting everyone down…compensate us.”
- “What???? He’s an idol????”
- “Honestly, did she purposely let him have better makeup for the wedding?”

- “It seems like the ultimate goal for every male idol is to have a wife like her. Why is the guy having such a good life?”
- “Why are you saying this?”
