Former “CHUANG 2021” trainee, Amu (羽生田挙武), who finished in 24th place, stayed back in China after the finale to develop his career. On October 27, he was involved in his first dating rumor when a fan discovered Amu had a lot of similar posts and checked into the same places as Japanese model, Linah Matsuoka (松岡李那), who is currently based in Hong Kong. Some of the posts are from last year and in Japan.

Amu responded to the dating rumors with a handwritten note, explaining, “When I came to China to join ‘CHUANG’, I was single. I decided to leave Japan to work hard in China. I decided to let go of the past in Japan and start over. Due to work reasons, I had no choice but go to Hong Kong. I didn’t do anything besides work. I have already returned to Beijing and currently quarantining right now. The above are undeniable facts.”
