Recently, earthquakes have been frequent, raising concerns among many people in Taiwan and around the world about natural disasters caused by seismic activities. There are claims circulating that the Indian child prodigy Anand predicted an 8.2 magnitude earthquake to occur at 3:47 AM on June 14, but Anand himself has denied making such a prediction, which has sparked much discussion.

According to reports, there have been individuals on social media platform Threads claiming that Anand had foreseen a massive earthquake and a subsequent tsunami to occur on June 14, 2025. Although the source of this information is unclear, it has caught the attention of numerous Taiwanese netizens and celebrities, including members of the band Mayday.

Once June 14 had passed, it turned out that Taiwan did not experience the expected strong earthquake. Instead, there was a magnitude 6.1 earthquake off the coast of the Northern Kuril Islands, which occurred at 3:36 AM on June 14, with a depth of 10 kilometers, registering a maximum intensity of 1 on the seismic scale, felt in areas such as Hokkaido and Honshu in Japan.

Following this, some netizens reached out directly to Anand's official YouTube channel to clarify the prophecy. Anand's team replied, stating that he never made such a prediction and expressed their dissatisfaction with media and online misinformation, asking the inquirer to provide the source of the information. This has led to a sigh of relief among many users who praised the inquirer’s investigative spirit in social media comments, expressing sentiments such as, "Finally, I can sleep peacefully" and "Thank you, truth-checker!"
