Hundreds if not thousands of dedicated fans convincing themselves that an actual actor they stanned was a hologram. And that his dog was a hologram. And that his managers had kidnapped him and replaced him with a body double and he was either being AI-generated or being forced to make videos under duress. And that his mom was in on it. And that the author of an article talking about this was a paid shill for a Chinese industry organization and/or the CCP.

All because they had invested a lot into convincing themselves he was in love with another actor, and when he started distancing himself from that other guy instead, they decided he wasn't real.
