Taiwanese actor Ethan Juan has found himself at the centre of an oddly unsettling real-life drama after a mystery man repeatedly showed up outside his Taipei home, pressing the doorbell at dawn for three consecutive days.
The incidents, unfolding in the usually quiet Songshan residential district, quickly escalated from a nuisance into a wider neighbourhood concern.
According to local reports, the man appeared at around 6am each morning, persistently ringing the bell until it woke residents, including Ethan Juan, who eventually decided enough was enough.
After enduring the repeated disturbances, the actor recorded the encounter and confronted the man directly, capturing what can only be described as a conversation that veered from confusing to outright surreal.
Footage circulating online shows the stranger behaving erratically, at one point lying on the ground and responding sluggishly.
When questioned by Ethan Juan, who initially approached the situation with visible frustration, the man gave vague and inconsistent answers, claiming dizziness and stating he lived nearby.

Pressed further on why he had been targeting homes, he casually admitted he had been pressing doorbells across the entire neighbourhood, not just one house, as if it were some sort of morning routine no one signed up for.
As the exchange continued, the tone shifted. What started as anger from Ethan Juan gradually turned into disbelief. The man openly admitted he did not know why he chose certain houses, saying he felt disoriented and unsure of his own actions.
At one point, he even suggested calling the police himself, before later asking to be taken for medical help, adding another layer of confusion to an already bizarre situation.
The issue was not isolated. Residents in the area reported similar disturbances, with the same individual allegedly wandering around, ringing doorbells at random and, in some cases, entering homes uninvited and sitting quietly while using his phone.
It is the sort of behaviour that sounds almost fictional, yet has left locals understandably uneasy, especially in a neighbourhood known for housing several public figures.
Police have since confirmed they identified the individual, a 28-year-old man believed to be experiencing mental instability.
Authorities stressed that the actions were not targeted at Ethan Juan specifically, but rather random and uncontrolled. They have contacted the man’s family and urged closer supervision while continuing to monitor the situation to ensure public safety.

Some fans expressed concern for Ethan Juan, pointing out how unsettling it must be to deal with repeated early morning disturbances in one’s own home.
Others, meanwhile, found the interaction unintentionally absurd, with clips of the conversation drawing comments about how quickly the actor’s mood shifted from confrontation to complete disbelief.
