At a later thank-you event, Aaron spoke out about the near accident, urging fans to keep a safe distance and not get overly excited.
“Some fans say, ‘Aaron, I took a picture with you when I was very young,’ but that doesn’t mean you truly like me,” he said.
“I know you are loyal fans, you don’t need to prove it this way. I understand, but when you get too intense, it actually frightens me.”
He stressed that mutual respect is the best form of interaction.
“If you just call out from afar, ‘Aaron, jia you!’… That’s more than enough. You don’t have to rush up saying, ‘Aaron, I’ve supported you for so long, sign an autograph for me!’ I hope my fans can gradually grow more mature,” said Aaron.
He added that he regards fans as friends and hopes to see them grow alongside him while maintaining a healthy relationship.
Using his film My First of May as an example, Aaron said watching it gave him a warm feeling, like a pat on the shoulder offering encouragement.
“I hope fans can understand me through my work, not through physical contact or over-the-top behaviour,” he added.
He reminded fans to keep their emotions in check: “If you get too worked up, I’ll be scared!”
