On 21 May, Dreame CEO Yu Hao released a video statement publicly apologising for comments he made earlier this spring, in which he suggested that “people who don’t like Dreame are losers.”

The controversy stems from an April 29 post in which Yu discussed how, in his view, a woman could gauge a partner’s cognitive ability, intelligence, and financial standing by how he responds to her pursuit. In that post, Yu claimed that men who speak positively of him typically demonstrate strong intellect, an open mindset, and a successful track record. Those who do not, he wrote, were “basically losers,” describing them as pessimistic, unmotivated, and unsuccessful in both life and career.

In his new video, Yu said the apology was entirely self‑initiated and not the result of external pressure. 
“I was out of my mind at the time,” he admitted, adding that he hoped consumers would give Dreame the opportunity to correct its mistakes.

Yu also encouraged the public to continue offering feedback, saying that constructive criticism would help the company improve.
