Lan addressed online criticisms, particularly those directed at team members like Qianqian and Sui Tang, suggesting they were unfairly targeted. He stressed that everyone on the show performs their respective roles and that the reality format inherently involves unpredictability. "We don't know what will happen, we just grit our teeth and finish it," he explained, adding that while he welcomes audience feedback, he hopes criticisms do not escalate and affect the team's morale.

I really feel they are working hard, they shouldn't have to endure this kind of nonsense.
