In August 2019, Wang received numerous unsolicited phone calls from callers who purchased his personal telephone number online. Wang answered some of these calls and personally appealed to the callers to respect his privacy and stop calling. He took to his Weibo account to urge fans to support and love him rationally, to stop calling him and not to waste their money to purchase his number as the calls have adversely affected his privacy. He informed that he would change his number even though it was troublesome for him to update his loved ones and transaction arrangements linked to his phone number. He posted screenshots of receiving 194 calls from unknown numbers. Wang's management agency, Yuehua Entertainment threatened to take action informing that it has kept a record of these numbers and that it may turn them over to the authorities if necessary.{{cite web |title='Don't buy my number.'
