Overseasidol.com — At a recent concert in Shenzhen, Jackie Chan and Wang Leehom once again kissed on stage, drawing massive online attention.
The two stars embraced and kissed mouth-to-mouth, an act that quickly became a trending topic. Some netizens joked that it has already become their “regular stage routine”.
This is not the first time such a scene has happened. As early as 2018, during a concert in Shanghai, the two shared a similar kiss.
Jackie Chan once said, “It would be great if he were my son,” while Leehom Wang expressed, “Thank you, big brother, you are my lifelong mentor,”.
Their close bond spans more than 15 years of friendship and collaboration.
Online reactions were divided. Supporters saw the kiss as a natural display of deep friendship, while critics called it “uncomfortable” and “strange”.
In Western societies, cheek-to-cheek kisses are common greetings, but in East Asian culture, a mouth-to-mouth kiss between men often goes beyond social norms.
Generational differences also play a role. Younger audiences, familiar with globalized pop culture, labeled the moment with playful “CP” tags to lighten the mood.
Older viewers, however, questioned whether the act was appropriate for a public stage. The debate reflects contrasting cultural values on how intimacy should be expressed.
