During the visit, she was reported to have attended a wedding ceremony wearing an SSA military uniform in the presence of Colonel San Suh of the Shan State Progressive Party/Shan State Army. The junta's army was in conflict with the SSPP/SSA in the Momeik area of northern Shan state at that time, and her visit to the SSPP headquarters sparked criticism from pro-military groups.[8]

The duo is accused of harming Myanmar culture and disseminating sexually explicit photos and videos on social networks.
