Following the accusations, Cai Ag-ca and Er Bo had maintained a low profile on their social media channels and YouTube.

The latest podcast episode features "Cang Jing Ren," a long-absent figure from their content, discussing her life as a mother of two and family matters. The timing of the podcast's return has led some netizens to speculate whether the couple is attempting to gauge public reaction. Many commenters on the YouTube upload have urged the couple to release a video addressing the plagiarism allegations directly, with some stating, "Is it that difficult to make a video explaining to fans?" and "When will you make a video to clarify things for everyone?" Others expressed disappointment, feeling that the couple might be hoping time will simply fade the issue away.
