Zhangzhehan super3

zhangzhehan_super3 is the handle of an Instagram account used previously by Zhang Zhehan. The account was deactivated for 5 months following the events of 813 before being reactivated in January 2022. It was subsequently used to promote the Zhang Sanjian scam and damage Zhang Zhehan's reputation by: posting old or cobbled together images and deepfake content, dividing the fandom, promoting various Shenzhen businesses including the Teashop, advertising the EHz·Z brand and the Ranyi Music content, and tarnishing Zhang's character via captions and comments. It is strongly suspected that the account has been out of Zhang's hands since or before 813. See Account operators and suspect ownership for more information.

It is one of two Instagram accounts recognized by fans as originally owned by Zhang Zhehan, the other being zhangzhehanfengzi. A third account mentioned in connection to Zhang was han__home. No proof exists for it to have been operated by Zhang himself while there is evidence to suggest it was actually managed by Zhang Su, his assistant at the time. See Instagram usage pre-813 for more information.

Zhang Zhehan had stated in his January 1, 2022 interview with Li Xuezheng, in the presence of members of the media, the NPC, and the CPPCC that he intended to regain his reputation through the legal system and bring his defamers to justice. He did not express any intention of making a surreptitious comeback through illegal foreign social media and self-sabotaging his own legal case. The super3 IG account was reactivated less than two weeks after the release of this interview.
