Chen Zhihan, a popular internet celebrity known as "Guan Zhang," threatened to cut off Lai Ching-te's head during a live stream last year. It was these words that led to his indictment by the New Taipei District Prosecutors Office on charges of intimidation, endangering public safety, and threatening the public. Today (March 6), he appeared in court for the first time since the indictment. Guan Zhang pleaded not guilty in court and even called for Lai Ching-te to appear in court after the hearing, saying that this was a matter between the two of them.

Attorney Hsu Wan-wei of Fidelity Law Firm stated that the president is the head of state elected by the people, and the president's safety is closely related to social stability and public interest. The gym owner's statement that he wanted to behead the president is obviously related to public affairs, and therefore may involve the crimes of intimidating the public and intimidating to endanger safety. The gym owner's defense may be legally unfounded.
