The nine-in-one election campaign has entered the countdown stage, and the craze for the election has extended to the entertainment industry, with imitation controversies erupting on television stations. The TVBS variety show "11 O'Clock Shop" recently arranged artists to imitate political figures. When Yixiang imitated Democratic Progressive Party's Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang, he posted the homophonic name "Shen Neck Itch". The leaked photos caused netizens to question whether he deliberately "uglified and belittled the candidate." Shen Boyang attended the event and responded that it is an honor for politicians to be imitated. As long as everyone is happy, there is no need to target artists.

The TVBS variety show "Hot Shop at 11 O'Clock" recently invited artists to imitate politicians to play English games. Unexpectedly, when Yixiang imitated Shen Boyang, he initially posted a homophonic name brand "Shen Neck Itch". The photo was leaked first and went viral instantly. A large number of netizens questioned it as deliberately "vilifying and dwarfing the candidate."

Shen Boyang responded to the interview that he thought it was okay. For this kind of imitation program, they would have chosen some fun names. This is a trivial matter. He believes that it is an honor for politicians to be imitated. And he said "Uncle Shen is itchy". In fact, he often complained to his parents when he was a child, because he had hives when he was a child, and he always thought that it was because of the word "foreign", so they did a good job in acting.

Shen Boyang also said that Shen Boyang's "Bo" changed from "neck" to "neck". This meme has been played by himself. Su Qiaohui was there at that time, so he felt that it was nothing and everyone should be happy, because artists are actually working hard. They are on the front line, and they have some scripts to do. Whether everyone likes this show and the market, everyone will decide for themselves. There is no need to target the artists.
