Idol Actor Zhang Linghe Forced to Change Hotels 5 Times Due to Stalking Fans, Fled from Event!
Despite issuing repeated warnings, the situation for this heartthrob has shown no signs of improvement.
Recently, Zhang Linghe flew to Hunan Province, China, to attend a brand event. However, things took a disturbing turn when he faced severe harassment from obsessive fans. Reportedly, one stalker discovered Zhang Linghe’s hotel location and posted it on social media. This forced the actor and his team to relocate for safety — not just once, but five times.

On the day of the event, an overzealous fan attempted to break into the venue, disrupting order and security. Guards quickly escorted the intruder out, but in the end, the event had to be canceled for safety reasons. Although disappointed, Zhang Linghe maintained a calm demeanor, reassuring fans online. As he left, he kept waving and reminded them to stay safe and orderly.
This is not the first time Zhang Linghe has been subjected to severe stalking and privacy invasion. Earlier this year, he publicly urged sasaeng fans to stop following him: “Some people really need to stop tailing my car, tracking my flights, or hiding outside my apartment to photograph me going to work. It has seriously disrupted my daily life.”
On social media, many expressed sympathy for Zhang Linghe while condemning the worsening problem of invasive and obsessive fans, whose aggressive tactics are becoming bolder and more shameless.
Sasaeng fans — the notorious obsessive stalker fans — are no stranger to the Asian entertainment industry. They are the overly passionate, irrational, and sometimes delusional segment of fandom, constantly monitoring idols’ schedules and invading their personal space. Such reckless and invasive acts have long been a nightmare for countless stars in both China and Korea.
Born in 1997 in Jiangsu, China, Zhang Linghe is one of the rising stars of the Chinese entertainment scene. Known for his striking looks and refined aura, he has become a fan favorite in historical dramas and is considered one of the most promising young actors of his generation. Although his acting skills remain a subject of debate, his dedication and eye-catching visuals have fueled expectations that he will become a top-tier C-entertainment star.
Before acting, Zhang graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering from the prestigious Nanjing Normal University, earning him the nickname “the academic genius” of the industry. He was scouted by a manager by chance, marking the beginning of his entertainment career.
He officially debuted in 2019, quickly gaining attention for his handsome visuals and tall stature. Zhang Linghe rose to mainstream fame with his roles in hit historical dramas such as Love Between Fairy and Devil, My Journey to You, and Story of Kunning Palace, amassing a massive fan base.
In his personal life, Zhang has been rumored to be dating actress Bai Lu after they co-starred in Story of Kunning Palace. Behind-the-scenes photos and fan-discovered “evidence” have only fueled the speculation, making it one of the hottest rumors in the industry. However, neither of them has ever addressed the matter.
