After maintaining a low profile following her husband Blackie Chen's #MeToo scandal in 2023, Taiwanese singer Christine Fan surprised fans by appearing on the Chinese singing show, Singer 2025.

The 49-year-old joined the show following the elimination of singer Terry Lin, dressed in a glittery gold gown to perform her hit 'The First Dream', which unfortunately sounded shaky and off-key.

Viewers noticed Christine's visible distress during the performance, leading to an emotional backstage moment where she tearfully apologized for losing control.

Despite not receiving the lowest studio audience score, Christine was eliminated due to a lack of online support, as Singer 2025 combines votes from both in-person audiences and Internet users.

Clips of her performance quickly went viral on Weibo, landing on the platform's hot search list.

Later that night, Christine took to Weibo to express her nerves about participating in such a program for the first time, thanking fans for listening to her sing and vowing to continue working hard despite the setback.
