Weibo Night has issued a statement regarding the controversy over seating adjustments, clarifying that a staff error led to misplaced name tags and apologizing once again to artists Yang Mi, Xiao Zhan, and their fans. On February 7, the official Weibo Night account released a statement addressing all parties concerned about the event. The statement began by offering a formal apology for the controversy caused by the incorrect placement of name tags during the February 5 Weibo Night event, affecting artists, fans, and viewers.
According to the statement, around 2:00 PM on February 5, the seating arrangement and name tags had been accurately set up according to the original plan. However, during a subsequent review, staff discovered vacant seats in the second row of the middle section and mistakenly moved the name tags of Mr. Xiao Zhan and several others outward, resulting in changes to their assigned positions. Upon identifying the error, platform staff corrected the issue promptly during the event.
The statement emphasized that Ms. Yang Mi and her team were not involved in or interfered with any seating arrangements or name tag placements, and online rumors suggesting otherwise are untrue. Weibo Night expressed sincere apologies to Mr. Xiao Zhan, Ms. Yang Mi, and all affected artists and fans, and pledged to strengthen detail management to prevent similar issues from recurring in the future. The statement concluded by thanking the public for their feedback and supervision.
