According to Dimsum Daily, witnesses at the scene described Zhao as visibly weak and unstable, with trembling legs as she was assisted from a vehicle into the hospital. An assistant was seen trying to shield her from the public eye with a scarf.

The footage quickly went viral, leading to widespread speculation about her health, with suggestions from various sources that she might be suffering from severe depression or a neurological disorder. The decline in her health reportedly happened during the filming of her latest project.

Entertainment insiders and bloggers have expressed concern, describing her condition as critical and worrying. They suggest that the immense pressure from her recent professional activities might be the cause of her health issues. One blogger described the situation as having escalated to a "very serious" level.

In response to the speculations, Zhao’s management team confirmed that the actress had experienced a significant health crisis, though they did not disclose the specific nature of her illness. Zhao’s father also issued a statement confirming her stable condition, yet the actress’ absence from social media has continued to cause concern among her fans.

Zhao, 26, began her acting career in 2017 and has been featured in popular series such as "The Romance of Tiger and Rose," "Dating in the Kitchen," "Love Better Than Immorality," "Love Like the Galaxy," and "Hidden Love."
