At the 35th Golden Melody Awards, indigenous singer Panai Kusui won Best Taiwanese Album for 'Iā-Pô' and used her speech to remind about the Tiananmen Square incident. President Lai Ching-te expressed support for music freedom but was criticized by netizens for seemingly leveraging the win. Panai Kusui had a long protest at Ketagalan Boulevard for indigenous rights, which ended after 2644 days when President Lai took office in May 2024, vowing to continue monitoring the new government's policies and protesting if needed.
