However, after the hotel announced the list on the 24th, a lot of doubts arose. Netizens discovered that there appeared to be a large number of Internet celebrities and KOLs on the list, and even social KOLs with more than 10,000 fans shared the good news of winning the prize. Questions poured in for a while, and they questioned whether the organizers only selected people with high voices.
In response, InterContinental Taipei Hotel responded that the selected candidates must sign a confidentiality clause during their trial stay. Photos and videos taken in the hotel during their stay will not be made public until the end of November. Social influence and subsequent exposure are not the selection criteria for this event. At the same time, it was announced: "In early October, we will also launch another wave of dining activities to continue to share the Taipei experience in different ways. We also look forward to giving more friends the opportunity to come in and experience it in person."
However, the statement did not calm the anger of netizens. Netizens left comments below the post: "I have unfollowed and deleted my message! This is not a new hotel at all, it is a deceptive hotel." Don’t you want to spend money and then hire a bunch of Internet celebrities to come in and do free marketing for you?”, “I’m cheating on you, I’m cheating on traffic, I’m cheating on personal information, what does it have to do with when it will be made public?”, “Do you think those who write seriously are idiots?”, “Refuse to check in”, “I feel really bad”.
