Taiwanese cheerleader "Wenwen" stabbed in neck by obsessive fan

A shocking incident occurred at a photo shoot event in Taipei when Wang Jing-wen, a popular cheerleader for the CTBC Brothers' Passion Sisters known as "Wenwen," was attacked and stabbed in the neck by a fan. The assailant, a 52-year-old man identified as a "super fan," reportedly used a knife to attack Wenwen, causing profuse bleeding.

Reports indicate the suspect, who is known among fans as "Wenwen's Uncle," may have turned against the cheerleader after she repeatedly ignored his messages on social media. His online posts, which have since been unearthed, show a pattern of obsessive behavior, including tagging Wenwen frequently and posting cryptic messages. He also referred to Wenwen as a "sloth" in some of his posts.

The attack took place on Saturday afternoon at a residential building in Taipei's Datong District. Several photographers were present for the event. During the ensuing struggle to disarm the attacker, five individuals, including the suspect, sustained injuries. Police have taken the suspect into custody and are investigating the motive behind the violent assault. Wenwen, 28, is known for her sweet appearance and tall stature, having joined the Passion Sisters in 2023 after a career as a model.
