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 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.

Instagram in China

Instagram is banned by China's firewall and cannot be accessed from within China except by VPN. The use of unauthorized VPNs is illegal in China. Organizations who need to connect legally to international banned sites must apply to use a gateway provided by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. Any entity or individual cannot create or use other gateways.

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.

Account operators and suspect ownership

It is assumed that the account has not been in Zhang Zhehan's control since 813:

• On the exact date of August 13, 2021, at 6:04 PM China Standard Time one old IG post was edited. It is unclear what exactly was changed as a verified version of the post pre-813 has not been found. Coincidentally, the post features Danny. It is unlikely that Zhang Zhehan himself would be editing a post from 2019 on the evening of 813.

• On August 16, 2021, prior to 6 PM China Standard Time, fans noticed that the number of posts dropped by four, from 127 to 123. Three out of four posts contained photos from Zhang Zhehan's trip to Japan, although not the one used in the smears.
• Just after that, some fans started receiving a "User not found" notification from Instagram. This is assumed to be the time that the account was deactivated.

Abner, Xie Yihua's son, revealed in August 2021 in a comment made by his Bilibili account that the phone number registered to his IG account does not belong to Zhang Zhehan.

High resolution versions of the Zhang Sanjian photos uploaded to the IG account in 2022 are regularly posted on Weibo by accounts verified to Xie Yihua's company 上海承嘉影视传媒有限公司.
