Post-scandal

After this scandal, Chu described herself as "a woman with no face at all". Right after the scandal Chu published a book entitled The Confessions of Chu Mei-feng(璩美鳳懺情錄) trying to explain her complicated relationships with all the gentlemen above, but it was poorly sold. Most time in 2002 Chu secluded herself to Singapore and China. She was rumored to have been engaged with a Shanghai man in summer 2002 but they soon broke up, during this time her application to Fudan University's PhD program was also rejected. Since 2003 Chu has been staying in the United Kingdom and almost cut off all relationships with Taiwan, rumored to be studying at University of Liverpool but unconfirmed. In March 2006 Apple Daily (Taiwan) reported that Chu had married a young Chinese man in the United Kingdom, was several months pregnant, and was planning to move to her husband's hometown Shenyang after graduation. Chu's family in Taiwan refused to confirm this.

Kuo Yu-ling and Kao Chun-chun immediately gained nation-wide notoriety after this scandal, and they dared not show up publicly ever since. Kao committed suicide unsuccessfully in May 2002 and her education was ceased. However, Kao was found not guilty in these lawsuits due to the fact that she simply obeyed her mother. This mother-daughter pair are rumored to have been expelled by their avatar religious group, and changed their belief to christianity since late 2003, being highly pious, and made their living by serving at the church.

In April 2006, after Kuo Yu-ling's lawsuits were finally settled, Chu's lawyer in Taiwan told local media that Chu may revoke her accusation toward Kuo as long as Kuo could immediately pay Chu 3 million NT$ as compensation. Kuo did not respond and was imprisoned on May 29, 2006.

Shortly after Kuo's imprisonment, on June 9, 2006, Taipei Municipal Court verdicted that Kuo needed to compensate Chu 2.59 million NT$: 2 million for the tape, and 0.59 million for the appropriation. Kuo's parents in Yilan told local media that they had not got in touch with their daughter for very long time, and their family had no money for the compensation. Chu's lawyer said that Chu was not considering appeal due to the fact that Kuo was already imprisoned; he also confirmed Chu's married status, but refused to release further details.
