Fans are sure they know who it was directed at.
Koreaboo
Kep1er‘S Xiaoting is currently embroiled in drama surrounding her shows.
After most of Kep1er’s members re-signed with WakeOne, the group signed with KLAP Entertainment. It was announced that KLAP will manage the group’s Korean programs and activities, which many fans approved.
Later, Xiaoting also began to have more solo programs in China, which was also expected.

However, recently, it was shared that Xiaoting would essentially shut down the group’s activities in December. The information was shared only after the organizer of a fan sign updated fans that the idol would only be present after either company gave notice.
Kep1er’s official X account released a statement officially sharing that Xiaoting will not be joining the December plans with the reason given being his focus on activities in China for the month.
Hi, I’m WAKEONE and KLAP Entertainment.
We would like to inform you about the business plans for Kep1er member Shen Xiaoting.
Regarding Xiaoting’s individual activities, we had extensive discussions with her original agency in November and finalized plans for her to do more individual activities in China in December.
As a result, he will not be able to participate in Kep1er’s planned activities in December.We kindly ask for your understanding from all fans.
Our agency is also preparing national concerts and various events and we hope to bring you good news soon.
We sincerely thank you for always paying so much attention to Kep1er and promise to provide constant support for Kep1er’s future activities.Thank you.
– Declaration
The idol also apologized for his upcoming absences, earning fans sympathy for what appeared to be scheduling conflicts, although the idol returned to Korea after a Chinese schedule on December 1 and is currently still there.
To our beloved Kep1ians, first of all, I’m sorry. I feel heartbroken and sorry for disappointing the fans who had planned to come to the fansign in December. I really want to continue being with you… you will wait for me, right? My heart will always be with Kep1ers and Kep1ians, so don’t worry. We’ll see you again soon.
Xiaoting
The company responsible for its operations in China shared an update that raised more questions than answers. In the statement, TopClass said it’s not because of its Chinese schedules, but rather the “complicated” situation in Korea.
TopClass also shared that her activities are agreed upon by all parties and that arrangements could be made so that she does not miss out on group activities.
Here, we would like to specifically explain, Xiaoting’s personal plans are confirmed after proper advance communication with the Korean side. At the moment, the situation in Korea is relatively complicated, and the artist’s safety and health are our number one priority. Therefore, his failure to attend the group’s fansign was not due to his personal commitments in China. The fansign details are organized by the Korean company and we do not interfere with the group’s activities. The Korean side also said that Xiaoting’s personal commitments will not interfere with organizing Kep1er’s group activities.
This difference between the statements has sparked criticism of the companies, with some believing that Xiaoting actually redacted one before the announcements were made.
On December 4, a day before the two companies shared statements, Xiaoting uploaded a photo of Pinocchio to her Instagram story.
The image shows Pinocchio’s nose starting to grow, which only happens when he lies.
As fans have shared their beliefs that one of the two companies is lying, it is assumed that this is a “recall.”

Now we know who the liar is.
Xiaoting returned to Korea on December 1 and is currently in Korea with no commitments in China. Please return her December schedule in Korea.

Hopefully, this conflict will have an ending that leaves both Xiaoting and fans happy.
