On the evening of March 30, in response to the rumor that "going to Henan to broadcast live in advance is to steal Dong Yuhui's limelight", Yu Minhong, the founder of New Oriental, replied in his Tiktok account that there was never any plan to go to Henan to broadcast live. In order to eliminate everyone's misunderstanding, he has asked Henan New Oriental Culture and Tourism to stop the broadcast and make rectification.
Yu Minhong also replied that as early as a month ago, Dongfang Selection had arranged him to broadcast live in Mount Wuyi on April 1. He stated that New Oriental Culture and Tourism has subsidiaries in each province and a dedicated live streaming platform for promoting local culture and tourism, which is conducted by local New Oriental anchors. The live broadcast promoted by Henan New Oriental is a local live broadcast, not a live broadcast by Yu Minhong.
