Sister Hong scandal breaks the internet as explicit videos of over 1,000 men get leaked; Reddit users call out online response
If you spend enough time online, chances are you've seen clips of Sister Hong, also known as China's 'Red Uncle.' But if you missed the story, here's the unsettling truth: Sister Hong is a Chinese man surnamed Jiang who allegedly posed as a woman, lured over 1,000 men to his home, and secretly recorded their intimate encounters. Though he was detained earlier this month, the private videos have since been leaked online, exposing the faces of the men involved, many of whom are now being mocked despite being victims of a serious privacy violation. Leaked videos show Sister Hong with numerous men The internet is no stranger to bizarre trends, but this one has crossed a line. After the leaked videos of Sister Hong surfaced on Telegram and Weibo, garnering over 200 million views, they quickly spread to platforms like X, Instagram, and beyond, going viral with zero censorship. The footage shows men of various ages and backgrounds being lured into intimate encounters in Sister Hong's room, all secretly recorded without their consent. Despite the clear violation, these videos are now being circulated as meme material, with the victims' faces fully exposed and unblurred. What's worse, users around the world are now recreating the clips, mimicking Sister Hong's dance moves, crossdressing in his likeness, and even calling it a Halloween costume idea. But behind the so-called trend is a scandal that has deeply violated the privacy and dignity of hundreds, turning real victims into targets of online mockery. Reddit calls out viral Sister Hong trend On the Reddit subreddit r/popculturechat, one user shared a post titled Everyone's reaction to the Sister Hong case is disturbing, calling out how the illegal distribution of these non-consensual videos is being trivialised as just another viral moment. The user wrote, "For those that don't know, Sister Hong is a Chinese sex offender who was charged with illegally distributing non-consensual videos of himself having sex with approximately 1,600 men. It all happened through shady Telegram sex group chats, basically. His whole act involves pretending to be a widow—or some kind of married woman—online, then inviting men to his home under false pretences to 'pleasure' them. You can read more about it here. What gets me is how everyone on social media is treating this like a joke. People are doing Sister Hong cosplays, mocking the men for falling for a 'bad disguise,' and even calling him a 'diva' or whatever. I've also seen some saying, 'Well, those men were probably cheaters, so they deserved it.' Like, really? You're telling me all 1,600 of those men were cheaters? And even if some of them were, that still doesn't justify spreading non-consensual sex tapes in Telegram group chats for paying creeps. But I guess that's a hot take now.' Responding to the post, one user wrote, "I want to know why I keep seeing uncensored pictures of these men's faces. It's not illegal or wrong to have sex with a bad cross-dresser or whatever the hell those guys thought was going on here; Sister Hong is a predator, and that should be the extent of the story. So many people are missing the point of the issue here just to be homophobic and transphobic. I should not know these men's business; they are victims." "I don't agree with the tapes and pictures of these men being shared, but it is illegal in China to have sex in exchange for goods. For example, she asked for 'gifts' like food and things as payment so effectively in China where this took place they were engaging in prostitution which is illegal," one user shared. "The worst part is that I work at a high school, and this is the viral meme of the week among teenagers. The fact that they're sharing her story and have access to her explicit content is disturbing and highly inappropriate. Please supervise your minors online," another mentioned. One added, "Exploitation has always been there. The internet has given people with no moral compass more opportunity. None of us like to think this dark side of humanity exists." Check out more comments in the Reddit thread below: More about the Sister Hong scandal Sister Hong, also known as 'Red Uncle,' is a Chinese man surnamed Jiang who was arrested earlier in July 2025. He reportedly posed as a woman online, luring heterosexual men to his home, where he secretly filmed their encounters without consent.

Officials also stated that the number of victims may be significantly lower than initially reported, likely not reaching 1,000. These exaggerated figures had initially fuelled the viral frenzy, but the confirmed details are still deeply troubling.

Sister Hong takes over social media: Internet cross-dresses as China's ‘Red Uncle' who secretly filmed explicit videos with 1000 men

Yep, that "Red Old Man" who went viral for reportedly disguising himself as a woman to engage in intimate encounters with over 1,000 individuals, allegedly sharing videos of these encounters online. So, who is Red Uncle, aka Sister Hong, and why has he suddenly become an internet sensation? Earlier this month, a middle-aged Chinese man sparked global outrage after it was revealed he had allegedly cross-dressed as a woman to lure hundreds of unsuspecting men into intimate encounters, many of which were secretly filmed and shared online. The bizarre case first gained traction on Chinese social media platform Weibo, where users claimed the man, reportedly in his 60s, had filmed sexual encounters with as many as 1,691 men, most of them heterosexual, at his home. Alongside widespread concerns about HIV transmission and marital infidelity, the videos reportedly racked up millions of views online, turning the scandal into one of the most viral and disturbing internet stories in China this year. The man, nicknamed 'Sister Hong' or 'Red Uncle' by netizens, was later arrested by police in Nanjing's Jiangning district. Authorities confirmed that a cross-dressing man surnamed Jiao had been taken into custody on suspicion of spreading obscene material. However, police pushed back against several viral claims, clarifying that Jiao was 38 years old, not 60, and denying reports that he had intimate encounters with over a thousand men, though they did not offer a specific number. Despite official corrections, the internet frenzy hasn't slowed down, with users continuing to parody the 'Red Uncle' figure across platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Internet starts dressing up as China's Red Uncle, and it's as weird as it sounds The internet is now cross-dressing as Red Uncle—aka Sister Hong—turning one of China's most bizarre scandals into a full-blown meme. While Sister Hong allegedly had hundreds of victims, he stuck to one now-iconic outfit: a black round-neck jumper, pleated bronze and brown skirts, shiny black bellies, and a wig with bangs glossier than a K-pop photocard. That fit has officially become the internet's new obsession, and don't be surprised if this Halloween, Sister Hong is everywhere. As for the makeup? He kept it low-effort but unmistakable: a ghostly layer of the whitest foundation possible and bright red lips that sealed the look. Several viral clips of Sister Hong doing a little dance have also been making the rounds—in them, the 38-year-old strikes poses that feel more C-pop (if not K-pop) coded, all part of his bizarre strategy to lure in 'customers.' Now, the internet is fully leaning in, recreating the viral look and turning it into a meme. From living rooms to grocery stores, markets, and even airport terminals, people are dressing up as Sister Hong and taking the bizarre trend to the streets. Check out several examples below: While Sister Hong continues to dominate social media, it's worth noting that this is a deeply bizarre and troubling scandal. Videos allegedly featuring men involved with him have also surfaced online, raising serious concerns about consent and the privacy of those individuals.

Man posed as woman, secretly filmed sexual encounters, linked to HIV scare
Nanjing hospitals offer free HIV tests after 'Sister Hong' impersonator's arrest. Jiao, disguised as a lonely housewife, lured men to his apartment where hidden cameras secretly recorded their encounters. Photo source - Instagram SHAH ALAM – A shocking scandal involving deep deception, sexual exploitation and public health risks is exploding online in China, proving to be far more serious than just viral drama. The real-life 'Sister Hong' case is trending across Chinese social media, causing widespread anxiety about privacy and digital consent. Jiao's elaborate disguise included wigs, makeup, dresses, voice changers and beauty filters. (Photo source: Instagram) It turns out, Sister Hong isn't a "sister" at all. He is Jiao, a 38-year-old man from Nanjing who allegedly disguised himself as a married woman to deceive men into sexual encounters, secretly recording them without their knowledge. This was no simple catfish situation. Jiao reportedly used wigs, makeup, dresses, voice changers and beauty filters. He posed as a lonely housewife seeking flings, inviting men to his apartment where hidden cameras were already rolling. This wasn't just catfishing; it was an alleged digital crime ring. Instead of charging for sex, Jiao would ask for small gifts like milk, fruit and cooking oil. Behind the scenes, he was building a massive collection of hidden-camera videos, uploading them to a paid, private group chat. Access cost 150 yuan (approximately RM88), providing users with hundreds of non-consensual clips. The scandal erupted in early July 2025 when one of the men in the leaked videos was identified by internet users. After his fiancée found out, she immediately cancelled their engagement. Jiao was arrested on July 5 and charged with the illegal distribution of obscene materials and invasion of privacy. Meanwhile, media outlets reported that popular TV host Lu Zihao publicly claimed that at least three men who had encounters with 'Sister Hong' later tested positive for HIV. One woman even allegedly discovered her husband was exposed after seeing his test result, leading her to realise he might have been one of Jiao's victims. As a result, hospitals in Nanjing are now offering free HIV tests to anyone who may have been involved or exposed. More Like This
