Mickey Huang was sentenced to eight months in prison for buying illegal videos of minors. His wife, Summer Meng, was criticized for saying that he did not know where the videos came from. Recently, he was seen happily traveling with his family. Many people were angry because they felt he showed no regret after his sex scandal. Some even refused to watch Summer Meng’s drama The World Between Us 2. In response, she wrote a message and apologized. She said her husband’s mistakes hurt many people and that she was sorry for her past words. She clearly said Mickey Huang will not return to the public and should not. She also announced she will close all her social media accounts to focus on her family and self-reflection.

黃子佼因為購買非法的未成年影片，被判處八個月監禁。他的妻子孟耿如因為說他不知道影片來源而受到批評。最近，黃子佼被發現和家人一起開心地旅行。許多人感到憤怒，因為他們覺得他對自己的性醜聞沒有表現出任何遺憾。有些人甚至拒絕觀看孟耿如的劇集《我們與惡的距離2》。作為回應，她寫了一封訊息並道歉。她表示丈夫的錯誤傷害了很多人，並對她過去的言論感到抱歉。她明確表示黃子傑不會再復出，且不應該復出。她還宣布將關閉所有社交媒體帳號，專注於家庭和自我反省。
