The runaway success of Chinese BL drama Double Helix (双程) has turned Ayden Sng and Lu Sitong into two of the most talked-about young stars in Asian entertainment. But their latest public appearance has gone viral for all the wrong reasons after both actors were reportedly knocked to the ground during a chaotic crowd surge. Footage circulating online shows the pair struggling through packed surroundings before falling, with fans quickly focusing on one particular detail: Ayden Sng appearing to shield Lu Sitong even as they went down.
The incident has reignited a debate that has been quietly building for months. Since Double Helix became one of the year's biggest breakout hits, every interaction between the two actors has been scrutinised frame by frame.
A simple glance becomes a headline. A shoulder touch becomes a trending topic. And now, a fall in a crowd has somehow become another chapter in one of entertainment's most fiercely argued discussions.

Supporters point to a growing list of moments where Ayden Sng appeared instinctively protective of Lu Sitong. During a previous event in Shanghai, videos showed Ayden using his body to shield his co-star from an advancing crowd, creating what fans dramatically dubbed a "human wall".
The viral clip itself paints a chaotic picture. Footage shows Ayden Sng and Lu Sitong being knocked to the ground amid a crush of sasaeng followers as the crowd surged around them.
Even after both actors fell, numerous people nearby continued filming on their phones rather than stepping back, with cameras remaining fixed on the scene as it unfolded.

Meanwhile, security personnel could be seen desperately attempting to regain control of the overcrowded area, struggling to create space and move people back as the situation became increasingly difficult to manage.
The images have since fuelled wider discussion about fan behaviour, personal boundaries and the growing challenges of protecting high-profile stars during public appearances.

Another widely shared clip from Beijing showed him partially surrounding Lu Sitong while navigating through a busy public area. Even after both stumbled and fell, viewers claimed Ayden Sng's first reaction was to protect Lu Sitong's head from impact.
The incident has also sparked questions about whether the security arrangements were sufficient for an event involving two stars currently enjoying immense popularity. Many fans argued online that the overwhelming crowd should have been anticipated given the success of Double Helix and the intense attention surrounding Ayden Sng and Lu Sitong.

The incident has also prompted many fans to look back at what happened to Zi Yu and Tian Xuning during the peak of the Revenged Love phenomenon in 2025. As the Chinese BL drama exploded in popularity, the two actors frequently found themselves surrounded by overwhelming crowds wherever they appeared.
C-netz recalled numerous occasions when personal space became almost impossible to maintain, with large groups following schedules, gathering at airports and public venues, and creating situations that many viewers described as increasingly uncomfortable.
Following the latest footage involving Ayden Sng and Lu Sitong, social media users drew comparisons between the two cases, arguing that the entertainment industry continues to face the same challenge: how to balance intense fan enthusiasm with basic respect for performers' safety and privacy.
Some criticised what they described as a lack of effective crowd control, while others questioned whether more barriers, additional personnel or stricter access management could have prevented the situation from escalating.
Neither Ayden Sng nor Lu Sitong has publicly addressed the incident, and no official statement has been released by their management agency. The silence has not stopped discussion online, however, with many fans calling for stronger security measures and better protective arrangements at future public events.
