Taiwanese actress Chen Kuang-yi, a member of the popular "NTU Five姬" (five beauties from National Taiwan University), found herself in a humorous predicament after a news report misinterpreted her lighthearted comments about her views on relationships during a charity event. The report led to widespread belief that she was publicly seeking a husband, causing her social media inboxes and even her office's phone lines to be overwhelmed with marriage proposals and detailed personal resumes.
Chen's management team revealed that they have been inundated with calls from enthusiastic individuals inquiring how to meet her. The most astonishing aspect has been the submission of elaborate self-introductions, akin to job applications, expressing direct intentions for dating and marriage. This has left the team amused and bewildered, describing the situation as a "big misunderstanding."
Addressing the "beautiful misunderstanding," Chen Kuang-yi humorously clarified that her remarks were made in a relaxed atmosphere at a charity event and were not a formal invitation to seek a partner. She stressed that she has not authorized any media, friends, or individuals to search for a spouse on her behalf and has not established any application or contact channels for such purposes. "Thank you for everyone's concern and liking, but I am really not looking for marriage, nor have I opened applications, nor is there an interview process. Please stop calling the office!" she pleaded with fans.
Chen maintains that she prefers relationships to develop naturally and is currently focused on her work and life. She assured the public that if any significant relationship news arises in the future, she will share it personally at the opportune moment. She also appealed to the media and public to help clarify that she is not publicly seeking marriage, to prevent this "cute misunderstanding" from escalating into a "large-scale collective blind date."
Thank you for everyone's concern and liking, but I am really not looking for marriage, nor have I opened applications, nor is there an interview process. Please stop calling the office!
