售后

• Pinyin: shòu hòu
• Hanzi breakdown: 售 (sell) + 后 (after) -> after-sales, extended to post-finale fan service.

Meaning

In fandom, continued interaction or promotional content after a show, drama, or on-screen pairing ends. It borrows the commercial idea of after-sales service.

售后 can include interviews, reunion livestreams, behind-the-scenes clips, joint appearances, or actor interactions. Fans often want 售后 for favorite couples or casts.

Examples

1. 剧播完还有双人直播，售后很足。 After the drama finished airing, there was still a joint livestream, so the 售后 was great.
2. 这对cp售后少，粉丝只能反复考古。 This CP has little 售后, so fans can only keep digging up old content.
3. 演员合体营业，被夸售后到位。 The actors appeared together to promote the project, and people praised the 售后 as spot on.
