2025年末，臺灣藝人朱孝天因實名舉報五月天所屬經紀公司“相信音樂”而引發輿論熱議，事件涉及票務操作、資金流向以及藝人演出行為等多重爭議，並伴隨他個人情緒失控的公開言論，最終導致公開致歉。

事件起因可追溯至2025年12月8日。朱孝天在社交媒體上發布影片，指稱自己因拒絕“相信音樂”提出的“三個要求”而被單方面退出F4重組演唱會，並在後續新聞中得知自己已被替換。這一消息立即在粉絲群與媒體間引發討論，許多支持者對他遭遇的不公平待遇表達關切。

隨後，在2025年12月19日至22日，F4重組演唱會上海站舉行。五月天主唱阿信在演出中提及朱孝天，稱“感謝暫時未能赴約的Ken”，暗示朱孝天未能參與演出。對此，朱孝天在粉絲群中回應稱自己未接獲任何通知，對阿信的言論質疑為“場面話”，表達對事件處理的不滿。

2025年12月24日，有網友曝光朱孝天與其粉絲的私信對話，顯示他承認網路上流傳的爭議言論屬實，並解釋拒絕參與演唱會的原因主要是“原則問題（全開麥）”以及“立場問題”，這也間接引發粉絲對演唱會安排及經紀公司運作方式的討論。

2025年12月25日晚，朱孝天在粉絲群及社交媒體上發布澄清聲明，正式實名舉報相信音樂涉嫌勾結黃牛炒票、逃稅及跨境資金轉移、強制藝人假唱以及涉及立場問題等行為，並表示已配合相關部門調查。然而，他同時承認此前因長期遭受網路暴力而情緒失控，發表了不當言論，對此向公眾公開致歉，並表示言論佔用公共討論資源。

對此，大麥網當晚回應，否認與黃牛勾結，並表示已對不實資訊取證，保留法律追訴權利。而相信音樂則尚未對外公開正式回應，事件的真相與後續調查仍在進行中，引發娛樂圈與粉絲社群對經紀公司管理、票務透明性及藝人權益保障的廣泛關注與討論。

整體而言，這起事件不僅牽涉到明星與經紀公司的權益糾紛，也反映現代社交媒體環境下公眾人物面臨的輿論壓力與網路暴力問題，對藝人心理健康、演唱會票務運作以及粉絲文化均帶來深遠影響。

At the end of 2025, Taiwanese artist Ken Chu (朱孝天) sparked a major public controversy by publicly accusing Mayday’s management company, Believe Music, of multiple alleged violations. The dispute involved ticketing operations, financial practices, and the performance behavior of artists, and was compounded by Ken Chu’s own emotional outburst on social media, which eventually led to a public apology.

The origin of the controversy traces back to December 8, 2025. Ken Chu posted a video on social media stating that he was unilaterally removed from the F4 reunion concert for refusing Believe Music’s “three demands,” and later learned through news reports that he had been replaced. This announcement immediately drew attention from fans and media, with many expressing concern over what they perceived as unfair treatment.

Subsequently, the F4 reunion concert was held in Shanghai from December 19 to 22, 2025. During the performance, Mayday’s lead singer Ashin mentioned Ken Chu, saying, “Thanks to Ken, who could not make it temporarily.” Ken Chu responded in fan group chats that he had received no notice and questioned Ashin’s words as mere “formalities,” expressing dissatisfaction with how the situation was handled.

On December 24, 2025, a private chat between Ken Chu and fans was leaked online, showing that he admitted to some of the controversial statements circulating on the internet. He explained that his refusal to participate in the concert was due to “principle issues (full live performance)” and “position issues,” indirectly sparking discussion among fans regarding concert arrangements and the management practices of the company.

On the evening of December 25, 2025, Ken Chu issued an official statement in fan groups and on social media, formally accusing Believe Music of colluding with scalpers to manipulate ticket sales, evading taxes, transferring assets across borders, forcing artists to lip-sync, and involving political or position-related issues. He stated that he had cooperated with the relevant authorities in their investigation. At the same time, he acknowledged that previous controversial statements were the result of emotional distress caused by prolonged online harassment, apologized to the public, and admitted that his words had occupied public discourse resources.

In response, Damai.com denied any collusion with scalpers and stated that they had gathered evidence regarding the false information and reserved the right to pursue legal action. Believe Music, however, has yet to issue a formal public response. The full truth and follow-up investigation remain ongoing, drawing widespread attention and discussion in both the entertainment industry and fan communities regarding management practices, ticketing transparency, and artist rights.

Overall, this incident not only concerns disputes between a celebrity and their management company but also highlights the pressures public figures face in the era of social media, as well as the impact of online harassment. The case has far-reaching implications for artist mental health, concert ticket operations, and fan culture.
