- A social media controversy sparked after Drama-addict shared an on-site team member's complaining post.
- Wanchai clarified that he coordinated with the victim's brother and received permission to announce the end of the search.
A major online controversy erupted around 8:00 PM when well-known influencer “Wanchai” from the Facebook page “Asa Pha Pai Long” published a tragic update regarding “Hulun Solo.” His post stated that he had located Hulun's body, offered condolences to the family, and mentioned that he had already informed the relatives while leaving further details for the family to disclose.
However, the post immediately triggered severe backlash after the popular page Drama-addict shared a grievance post written by a genuine on-site team member. The worker expressed profound exhaustion, pointing out that official paperwork was not yet finalized when the influencer publicly announced the news. The team had been working on the ground since morning, but concrete paperwork was still pending, which they argued was necessary before making any public statements.
This controversy highlights the delicate balance and friction that often occur during crisis reporting between on-the-ground rescue teams, official protocols, and content creators. While operational teams rely strictly on verified paperwork and formal procedures, influencers often prioritize rapid dissemination to halt ongoing search efforts and inform the public quickly.

Following the wave of criticism and questions regarding appropriateness, “Wanchai” quickly stepped forward to clarify the situation. He issued an apology for being the person who broke the news, while detailing the background coordination efforts behind the scenes.
Wanchai explained that he had communicated closely with Moss, Hulun's older brother, to bridge communication across two countries. He confirmed that the information was verified by the police station, and he personally informed Hulun's family before receiving their explicit permission to announce the news in order to halt the operations of various searching teams. He concluded by reiterating that all detailed information should be officially addressed by the family and directly involved parties.
