: Chen’s wig flew right off his head and landed on the ground in full view of the cameras and the live audience.

The clip shows the precise instant of the wig’s departure—one second it’s in place, the next it’s tumbling down. The reaction from everyone present was instantaneous. The entire cast, including Chen himself, couldn’t help but burst into laughter. The crew members could be heard chuckling in the background, and even the audience watching from home found themselves replaying the scene again and again.

In an endearing twist, one of Chen’s fellow cast members quickly stepped forward to help him retrieve the wig and put it back on. The gesture, though simple, added to the friendly and humorous atmosphere of the show, showcasing the camaraderie between the actors.

Chen himself decided to own the moment rather than shy away from it. Shortly after the episode was recorded, he posted the short video on his personal Weibo account, a major Chinese social media platform. Alongside the clip, he wrote a playful caption: “Don’t say anything. Just pretend you didn’t see anything, okay?” His self-deprecating humor only made fans appreciate him more, with many praising him for his lightheartedness and willingness to laugh at himself.

Online reaction was swift and overwhelmingly positive. Fans from China and beyond flooded the comments section with laughing emojis, playful remarks, and memes inspired by the incident. Some jokingly suggested that Chen’s wig had “quit the show early,” while others claimed that the wig’s “acting” was worthy of its own award.

A number of fans pointed out that the reason Chen was wearing a wig in the first place was due to his ongoing work on another project. For the role, he had to cut his natural hair very short—shorter than the look he usually maintains for public appearances. To ensure continuity in his promotional work and to keep up his signature style for non-filming engagements, the actor opted for a wig. This is a common practice in the entertainment industry, especially when schedules overlap between multiple projects.

While the incident was purely comedic, it also sparked some discussion among netizens about the pressures actors face to maintain a certain appearance, even when it requires wigs, makeup, and other adjustments. Still, most agreed that Chen’s good-natured response turned what could have been an embarrassing moment into one of the most memorable and endearing clips of his career.

The Keep Running episode featuring the wig mishap has now been replayed countless times across multiple platforms, with the scene even trending on video-sharing sites. Some fans admitted to watching the moment repeatedly because of how infectious the laughter was, both from Chen and the rest of the cast.

For Chen Zheyuan, this wasn’t the first time he had made headlines—but it was certainly one of the most amusing reasons. Known for his roles in popular Chinese dramas and films, the actor has built a reputation for his charisma, good looks, and strong on-screen presence. Now, thanks to his willingness to laugh along with the public, he’s also become an internet favorite for his off-screen sense of humor.

In the entertainment world, not all unexpected moments are welcome, but Chen’s wig incident proved to be the perfect example of how a small, unscripted mishap can create joy and laughter among audiences. What could have been a fleeting blooper has turned into a viral highlight that fans will likely remember for years.

If anything, this funny episode has made Chen Zheyuan even more relatable. It showed that beneath the polished image of a celebrity, there’s room for imperfection, spontaneity, and humor. And for viewers around the world, that’s exactly the kind of authenticity that makes stars like Chen so beloved.
