Controversies and legal troubles in Taiwan
Following his rise to prominence, Chen became involved in several controversies regarding the authenticity of his exploratory videos. In January 2022, he entered an abandoned building in Taichung and claimed to find a young girl's body. Local residents and the area mayor disputed the claim, stating no body existed.

Shortly afterward, Chen published videos asserting that he and Lu had been kidnapped.
