8stars don't like any zb1 subfandom in general and they had beef with riyangis, rosins and allins since last year. But the big fight between 8starts and rosins started because a few of them were beefing over who was the "Top Chinese Kpop Artist", some of them insulted hao, some attacked minghao, and then the rest of each fandom joined in on the fanwar and it turned into a clusterfuck. Once everyone joined, they fought over EVERYTHING, achievements, views, streams, sales, solo awards, sns engagement, endorsements, predebut life, etc... anything you can think of, they fought about it. 8stars argued that everything hao achieved was yuehua payola, that minghao was a well-know and beloved senior and that hao was a nobody, that rosins hijacked minghao's tags to artificially inflate hao's engagement, they called hao homophobic slurs and spread his old weibo posts including the slanders from the rumormongers, they even created hot topics (hashtags) so the things they were saying about hao would trend. Crosins made fun of 8stars and minghao because hao outsold minghao in magazines and endorsements, and hao's solo song and ost had more streams than almost all of minghao's songs, so they were like "8stars, how can you be so shameless as to attack hao when he, a 1-year rookie, has already surpassed all of minghao's achievements! your fav has been in the industry for 8 years and you couldn't even give him an award!" they trended a hot topic that was like "xu minghao is called the8 because it took him 8 years to walk the path that zhang hao crossed in 1 year". It was a mess, 2 of the hot topics from both sides actually trended in the "real time" weibo tab for a few minutes. by the end, crosins were mad because the discussion was supposed to be about the Top Chinese Kpop artist but 8stars decided that spreading rumors about hao, his personality and personal life was a better idea. Int fans only know about the hao chan thing because minghao's cbar posted about it on twitter lol. https://x.com/CHINATHE8BAR/status/18112269679388
