Energy's lead singer Ah Di, also known as Xiao Jinghong, and his wife Mei Qiu Xinwei attended a fundraiser event on June 27, 2024, where Mei expressed her envy of a recent wedding they attended, jokingly reminding Ah Di that he owed her a wedding. Ah Di humorously responded by saying, 'Let me finish my concert first, okay?' The couple, who have been married for 17 years, reflected on their unconventional online wedding where Ah Di bought a virtual wedding dress for Mei's game character with only a budget of a little over $100. Although Mei initially found it special, she later humorously remarked that Ah Di's gesture was more about gaining experience points in the game than genuine love. The couple considered holding a physical wedding after 17 years, but Mei felt it might be too late as their daughter, who could have been a flower girl, is now old enough to be a bridesmaid. Mei also shared her regret about not understanding a classmate with a cleft lip and palate in elementary school due to lack of empathy skills, advocating for empathy education in schools.
