HSK 5HSK 3.0 · 5
…,至于 + related topic,… | 不至于 + V | …,至于吗?
至于 shifts to a related but different topic, 'as for': 我只负责买票,至于住的地方,你们自己安排吧. It usually appears in the SECOND sentence or clause, unlike 关于, which introduces a topic at the start. 不至于 means 'not so bad as to': 他不至于不知道吧. Colloquially, 至于吗? is a rhetorical 'is that really necessary?', criticizing an overreaction.
HSK 5 gap fills; 至于 vs 关于 often appear together.
