At that time, many people predicted that this page was managed by a Vietnamese account because before the incident, this account still responded to user comments in Vietnamese.

In the description, besides the Musician/Band category, the Zion.T page has also added an option for Men's Clothing Store. This fanpage has 107,000 followers, all old posts have been deleted, but the cover photo is still the image of the male singer.
