"This is the first time we've had such a close interaction, and it feels very warm and heartfelt," Edmund Chen wrote in Chinese. "I'm extremely grateful to the family and friends in my fan community. It is so carefree, as we sing about emotions and memories."
He added: "We're all one family. Thumbs up."
His wife, actress Xiang Yun, and daughter, actress Chen Yixin, left heart emojis on his post.
