According to reports from Chinese media, the actress may need to step away from the entertainment industry for several months until she fully recovers. There are also concerns that the burns could leave permanent marks on her appearance.

News of the accident has sparked various reactions from netizens. Many fans expressed sympathy and wished for Wang Tianyu’s speedy recovery.

However, others said the incident should serve as a warning for people not to blindly imitate dangerous trends that go viral on social media.
