Many fans believed Tzuyu might have received a luxury car and an engagement gift at the same time. Others tried to guess who the mystery person might be who could have pulled off such an extravagant birthday surprise.
Truth behind the 'engagement ring'
Some fans however came forward to clear the doubt. The item turned out to be a rare promotional gift that Porsche Germany introduced in 2019 as a playful surprise for new car owners.
