Ju Jingyi used a scarf to cover herself at the Starlight Awards; what's going on?

The 2025 Starlight Awards not only attracted attention because of its star-studded lineup but also because of a series of extremely relatable everyday moments of Chinese artists. When the stage lights dimmed, the audience seats became the focus of attention with small, intimate situations.

These "gossip" moments made fans laugh.

One of the images that quickly went viral was of Chen Xingxu sitting awkwardly between Wang Yuwen and Zhou Ye. The two close actresses were constantly chatting, completely ignoring the "person in the middle." Chen Xingxu initially tried to listen, but then proactively got up and left, leaving behind a humorous scene that was likened to "escaping from the group chat."

This moment was quickly shared by netizens with a series of humorous comments, suggesting that this is a familiar image of close friends meeting up at crowded events.

Song Zu'er scores points for her subtlety.

Many viewers praised Song Zu'er for her consistently tactful behavior. While queuing for photos and chatting, the actress realized she was unintentionally standing between Li Junrui and Meng Ziyi, a pair who were once rumored to be close friends.

Instead of letting the situation become awkward, Song Zu'er quickly stepped back, proactively giving up her position so that her two colleagues could stand next to each other. This small but thoughtful gesture helped create a more natural atmosphere and further enhanced her image in the eyes of her fans.

Ju Jingyi and the most intriguing moment of the event.

The biggest spotlight was on Ju Jingyi – a beauty often referred to as "a once-in-4000-years phenomenon." While sitting with Chen Duling and Song Zuer in the audience, netizens were surprised to see Ju Jingyi bending over, while Song Zuer used a scarf to shield herself from the cameras.

This incident quickly caused a stir on social media, with many people curious about what was happening in the middle of a crowded event with cameras constantly recording.

The truth behind it: it's just... adding each other on WeChat.

After the image went viral, the answer was quickly revealed. In fact, the actresses were using their phones to scan QR codes to add each other as friends on WeChat. To avoid having their personal accounts exposed to the cameras, Ju Jingyi and Song Zuer covered their phone screens with scarves.

Not stopping there, Chen Duling also gave her phone to Ju Jingyi to add each other as friends, creating a series of actions that outsiders might perceive as "mysterious," but turned out to be very ordinary.

When artists are just like any other young people

This moment quickly resonated with young viewers. Many felt that covering the screen when scanning a QR code, adding friends, or texting is a common reflex, especially in crowded situations with cameras constantly recording.

It is this everyday life that makes the image of celebrities more relatable. Gone is the distance; they are simply young people chatting, getting to know each other, and maintaining a bit of personal privacy amidst the public scrutiny.

The 2025 Starlight Awards and the appeal of small things

Without sensational statements or overly dramatic moments, the 2025 Starlight Awards still managed to be exciting thanks to the small details behind the scenes. From the story of a close friend engrossed in conversation, forgetting the person next to them, to the thoughtful act of giving up their seat, to the gesture of covering their phone screen, all contributed to a vivid picture of the behind-the-scenes life of the Chinese entertainment industry.

For many Gen Z viewers, it's these candid moments that make the awards ceremony memorable. Because sometimes, what keeps viewers engaged isn't the glamorous stage, but the very "human," genuine moments of the stars right in the audience seats.
