[Reporter Qiu Yitie/Reporting from Taipei] Comedy actor Huang Yihao was recently attacked by suspected foreigners, arranging surveillance in Taiwan, and fake car accidents, which attracted attention from the outside world. Today (21st), he once again posted an article, removing the label of "brave" given by the outside world, and frankly admitted that he is not a great person. When he created crosstalk jokes that satirized Chinese President Xi Jinping, he simply thought the concept was "very interesting and refreshing." Is he afraid of facing outside concern, and will the performance in November be affected? Huang Yihao also personally responded and emphasized that the only thing he was worried about at that time was that the audience would not laugh, and announced that the performance would be held as usual.

Huang Yihao said in his latest post that he is not a brave person, nor is he a great person. He originally wrote jokes that satirized Xi Jinping simply because the concept of "a crosstalk actor using his tongue to curse Chinese leaders" was interesting. He also bluntly said that when creating, he did not particularly want to challenge or prove anything. Instead, he started from the perspective of comedy performance and found the content interesting, so he wrote his thoughts into the jokes. Compared to the outside world who views him as a performer who is brave enough to resist pressure, his statement is closer to the purest creative motivation of a comedian.

As for whether you were scared when you first wrote this content? Huang Yihao also gave an unexpected answer. He said that the only thing he was worried about at that time was that the audience would not laugh after listening to it. He focused on the performance effect of the joke rather than the political risk. Talking about whether you will continue to create similar content in the future? He said: "I write because it is interesting, but I don't write because I am bored and bored." For Huang Yihao, whether to create or not depends on whether the content is interesting, rather than deliberately publishing relevant jokes to challenge specific political figures.

Huang Yihao had earlier posted a message thanking the Yonghe Branch, the New Taipei District Prosecutor's Office and the investigators who participated in the investigation. He also expressed his gratitude to the Zhongshan Branch police officers who had protected him recently. He mentioned that according to the investigation results announced by the New Taipei District Prosecutor's Office, the case involved foreigners funding and arranging surveillance in Taiwan, and then trying to fake a car accident to seriously injure him and prevent him from performing on stage. He also called on legislators to quickly supplement the legal system related to cross-border suppression so that law enforcement officers have sufficient legal tools to trace the behind-the-scenes commanders and financial flows. This time, he issued an article again, shifting the focus from the case and institutional levels to his own emotions and original creative intentions as a performer.

As for whether the performance that the outside world is most concerned about will go on as usual? Huang Yihao made it clear that the November cross talk show "Original Abnormality" will be performed at the Ximen Red House on November 28th and 29th, and once again called on interested audiences to purchase tickets through KKTIX. Faced with the attention brought by the incident, he did not portray himself as a hero, but returned to his identity as a comedian, emphasizing that the creation was only because it was interesting, and he also hoped that the audience would return to the performance itself.
