UP explained to the newspaper that the stunt was difficult to pull off as the theatres online bookings system refused him to reserve odd seats, and the staff at the cinema refused his request.

“UP”对《资讯晨报》说，买光单座的方法很难实施，在线订票系统不允许他只订单座票，影院方面也拒绝了他的请求。

‘I also didn't have enough money. So finally a friend recommended that I start a campaign on a crowdfunding site, and there were enough single internet friends out there to help me raise the money to do this sort of thing.'

“我也没这么多钱，所以最后我朋友建议我去集资网站上发起一个活动，那里应该有很多感兴趣的单身网友，也许会帮我募集资金来完成这个活动。”

'I hope all lovers understand this is just a small joke,' he added.

他还说：“我希望情侣们能理解，这只是我们单身族的一个小小的恶作剧。”

After the online campaign, UP and his group of defiant singles have bought every other seat in the cinema, so that no two adjacent seats are available to purchase.

在线上募集好资金后，“UP”和一群“反情人节”的单身族在一家影院里买光了所有的单号座，这样就没有连在一起的座位供情侣们购买了。
