Back in mid-2023, several well-known celebrities were hit with #MeToo accusations in Taiwan.
5 Celebrities Accused Of Sexual Assault And Harassment During Taiwan’s #MeToo Movement
Among them was Mickey Huang, a 52-year-old veteran celebrity often regarded as one of the top TV hosts and comedians in Taiwan.
As for his personal life, Mickey started dating his current wife, Summer Meng, in 2014 when she was 23 years old. The pair married in 2020 and gave birth to their daughter, nicknamed Corn, in 2022.
However, in June 2023, Mickey was accused of sexually harassing an influencer, Zofia, when she was only 17 years old. Mickey admitted to the allegations and tried to take his own life.

He also went live and accused over ten celebrities of various wrongdoings, although the accusations never really went anywhere.
Throughout the whole incident, Mickey’s wife stood by his side.
Since Mickey and I met, he has worked hard to change for the better and to share positive energy with everyone. As for the past… We need a bit more time and space. Thank you for all the concerns. We’re a family, so we will face this as one and make up for his past mistakes together. Thank you, everyone.

In February 2024, Mickey officially apologized to Zofia on his Facebook.

I, Mickey Huang, have always felt deeply sorry and would like to apologize to Miss Zofia for causing emotional distress and pain due to my inappropriate actions more than ten years ago.
Please stop harassing and attacking Miss Zofia going forward, everyone. Thank you.
P.S. The content and posting time of this apology were confirmed by lawyers on both sides, with the help of our representatives.

At the time, Summer commented on the post, saying, “I love you, always. Hwaiting, hubby.”
Finally, on April 3, 2024, due to insufficient evidence and as the two sides settled, Mickey was not charged for the harassment case involving Zofia. However, due to the proceedings, another shocking revelation came to light.
The police found over 100 videos involving naked young girls and women on Mickey’s hard drive. They also discovered that he had been buying them from a hidden cam online community, “Creative Private Room,” known as “Taiwan’s Nth Room.”
According to reports, Mickey registered for the community on February 12, 2013, and purchased videos from August 8, 2017 to July 8, 2023. As Mickey admitted to #MeToo allegations and attempted suicide in late June 2023, this means he was still purchasing such videos just days after. Additionally, the police discovered that at least 7 of the videos involve girls who are minors.
Netizens were disgusted by the revelation, especially since Mickey has a young daughter. They flooded Mickey’s Facebook account with comments.
- “You even have a daughter. You’ve set the worst example.”
- “Be careful! Your dad buys videos!”
- “What kind of people would tell Huang, ‘hwaiting‘?”
- “Those who were saying ‘hwaiting‘ to Mickey Huang, please remember to forgive and support the other party if your family, friends, or even yourself face the same situation.”
- “How come no one is telling him ‘hwaiting‘ anymore, huh?”
- “Perhaps the biggest retribution will be your daughter finding out about all this when she’s older.”
