How it's used
Focuses on the act of making a public appearance rather than just being physically present in a room. It is frequently used in news reports or gossip about celebrities or politicians who have been avoiding the public eye. The term implies a sense of expectation that the person should be seen by others.
Examples
He hasn't shown up for a long time, I wonder where he went.
Are you going to show up at the event tonight?

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe simply walking into a room or arriving at a friend's house, as it carries a formal or public connotation. For casual arrivals, use words like 到 or 出現 instead.
