https://www.8days.sg/entertainment/asian/13-year-old-chinese-girl-apologises-for-deceiving-the-fans-by-15428876 BY TAMMI TAN In the story of Mulan, a young woman pretends to be a man in order to take her elderly father’s place in the army, and in South Korean drama You’re Beautiful, a girl disguises herself as her twin brother to join a boy band. As it turns out, something like that actually happened in real life. Recently, a netizen took to Weibo to expose Fu Jiayuan, a 13-year-old — some sources say 12 — former member of Chinese boy group YGN Youth Club, for... not being a boy. Yes, Fu Jiayuan is a girl After the news broke, Jiayuan apologised for “deceiving the fans” and posted an explanation on social media, saying that many companies had expressed their interest in signing her as an artiste, and she chose YGN Youth Club’s agency in the end. However, the COVID-19 outbreak happened and she was unable to travel to the company in person. She then decided to conceal her own gender from the company as she was “young and ignorant”. “This incident has affected my school life and my family,” she wrote. “Please delete your posts. I’m sorry to everyone who put their trust in me. I promise I will not show up in the entertainment industry nor on any short video platforms in the future.” Jiayuan went on to clarify that she never actually joined any boy groups and was only part of their training camp. “I am a girl,” she declared. “I apologise for my previous actions. I’m sorry.” Talk about kids doing the darndest things Yiguangnian Media, which manages YGN Youth Club, later released a statement of their own. “Fu Jiayuan was a member of the second season of our winter training camp,” they wrote. “During the recruitment process, both parents and the child concealed her gender and claimed she was a boy. Due to the pandemic, the selection was done online.” They continued, “Our staff were negligent in the work process. As of a few months ago, Fu Jiayuan is no longer in a contractual relationship with the company. In the future, we will adhere strictly to the company’s rules and regulations. Thank you for your attention and support for Yiguangnian Media.” YGN Youth Club consists of very young members born after the year 2000 and has proven to be both very popular and controversial, not unlike what happened to Panda Boys, which had members debuting between the ages of seven and 11.

By LEE WEI LIN https://www.8days.sg/entertainment/asian/wu-jing-squid-game-tracksuit-copy-plagiarise-korean-professor-15424546 On October 5, South Korean social activist and professor at Sungshin Women’s University Seo Kyungdeok posted an impassioned rant on IG talking about how Chinese netizens have been watching Squid Game through illegal downloads and streams before claiming that the Chinese are riding on the popularity of the series to sell rip-offs of the series’ iconic green tracksuits. The professor then accused Chinese people of “ignoring copyright and plagiarising” the hard work put in by the team behind Squid Game. He attributed the situation to “China having a crisis after Korean content such as Squid Game and Kingdom continue to attract attention from people all over the world , adding that the country is fearful about how the Asian cultural initiative is now moving to Korea . China needs to learn how to respect the cultures of other countries,” he declared. While that was enough to anger the Chinese, the straw that broke the camel’s back was the photo that Kyungdeok posted to accompany his message. He had used a screenshot of Taobao listings showing Chinese actor-director Wu Jing wearing a green tracksuit with the word ‘China’ emblazoned on it next to Squid Game lead actor Lee Jung Jae. Chinese netizens quickly reminded Kyungdeok that Wu Jing wore that outfit in the 2019 movie Song of Youth, and that Squid Game should be called the copycat instead since it was released almost two years later. Other netizens added that such outfits are common school uniforms in China and have been so for the past two decades. As Netflix is not available in China, netizens say they are unable to watch the series on the official platform and so can only rely on other methods to enjoy the show. Kyungdeok deleted his post after seeing these comments because he didn't want to “cause unnecessary controversy”. However, he did add that he still finds issue with Chinese merchants using Jung Jae’s photo to market their goods. In turn, Chinese netizens have called for the professor to issue an apology to Wu Jing for smearing the reputation of our national hero with false accusations”. Some netizens have also vowed to lodge complaints about the professor to his university.

BY RACHEL CHUAH OCTOBER 1, 2021 https://hype.my/2021/248294/zheng-shuang-nudes-zhang-heng-mistress/ Photos censored for PG-13 purposes It has been nine months since news of Chinese actress Zheng Shuang (郑爽)’s surrogate scandal broke. Unfortunately, the actress has yet to fully recover from the damage wrought by it. In addition to her movies being removed, fans have sided with former lover Zhang Heng (張衡). However, Zheng Shuang is now exposing her ex-husband’s true colours and claiming he is not as innocent as he seems. On 29th September, she hinted on Instagram that Zhang Heng cheated on her with another woman. Yesterday, she continued the barrage and did not hesitate to post a photo of Zhang Heng’s mistress! If her exposé on 29th September shocked netizens, her posts from yesterday have convinced several of them that she’s lost it. The actress is taking no prisoners in her war with former lover Zhang Heng, and has now dragged his mistress into the mess. Initially, Zheng Shuang chose to keep his lover’s identity private by blurring her photo and only using outlines. However, when her demand for an apology went unnoticed, Zheng Shuang took things to the next level. A post showing a woman with her legs spread was uploaded yesterday on Zheng Shuang’s supposed Instagram account. It was presumably taken by Zhang Heng mid-sex. “Please understand my behaviour, (lady), this is not because of how you behaved. If one of you fails to (take responsibility), you must bear all abuse and insults,” Zheng Shuang captioned. “If you were forced (to do this), you are welcome to defend your rights yourself.” The actress went on to claim that she could have released the photos at any time during the scandal’s fallout. “I believe this is only one-thousandth of the harm (inflicted),” she said. Zheng Shuang shared that these incidents have been going on for two years now, calling it a nightmare which haunted her waking moments. “Watching me be attacked by the internet, don’t you feel guilty at all in your heart?” she asked. The actress admitted however that this was the cruelest way to deal with the problem, but she was apparently fed up with being hurt. SOURCE: CHINA PRESS Although the post has since been removed, she breached the topic again in another post. This time, she hinted that the surrogate children were not actually hers. She alleged that everything had been arranged by Zhang Heng, and that she had kept quiet for the sake of the kids. “I am afraid that everything is just a tool used by the other person. I am afraid that (the children’s) birth is just the beginning of misfortune. I was afraid that what I brought to them was a threatened life,” she wrote. The actress went on to explain that she hadn’t said anything after the scandal because she felt it wouldn’t do any good. “I should be punished if I did something wrong. Explaining one more (thing) is like excusing yourself for your actions,” Zheng Shuang said. The actress added she was neither crazy nor exaggerating the issue. The only reason why she decided to speak up about it now was because she was tired of being “emotionally blackmailed”. SOURCE: INSTAGRAM Netizens are in two minds about the matter. While some feel that Zheng Shuang has been wronged, others think this does not excuse her past mistakes. Most agree that she is just having an online war with her ex-lover and prefer to watch but not be too involved. The actress asked for another apology after her most recent attack. Although its been brutal, Zhang Heng has not responded. Who will make the next move? Will Zhang Heng continue with an attack of his own or end the war? Or will Zheng Shuang launch another accusation? It remains to be seen.

Sure, if you're into conspiracy theories. It literally doesn't matter if it's accurate. It's scary that people would believe this shit, anti-vaxxer/pathological liars love this stuff.

https://www.todayonline.com/8days/660-companies-linked-stars-liu-shishi-huang-xiaoming-have-been-mysteriously-deregistered-china By LEE WEI LIN There’s been a lot going on in the Chinese entertainment scene recently. Apart from Operation Qinglang, which is cracking down on unhealthy online behaviour by stars and their fans, artistes deemed unworthy to be on screen because of ethical reasons have also been blacklisted by China's State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT). So when Ruby Lin’s work studio suddenly deregistered its business license in China two weeks ago, many people assumed the actress is in trouble with the authorities. And they could be on to something. A recent report on these celeb-owned firms by investigative company Tianyancha suggests that something bigger is brewing. According to Tianyancha, a total of 660 companies that are related to celebrities have been deregistered as of August 31, among which 40 are directly linked to stars. Apart from Ruby’s work studio, companies related to Huang Xiaoming, Gong Jun, Deng Chao, Tiffany Tang, Jing Boran, Liu Shishi and Li Xian have also been forced to close. A check by Chinese netizens show that the companies mentioned by Tianyancha have mysteriously disappeared, and those that were previously listed on the stock exchange have also ceased trading. It's said that SARFT is involved with the closures. The government body recently held a symposium in Beijing where they reiterated that all artistes must “bear good values, be virtuous and be patriotic”. Now, a legal expert in Beijing has commented that the 660 companies that were forced to close could have been involved with tax evasion. According to the expert, tax evasion can be further broken down to unintended underpaying of taxes and deliberate tax evasion. For the former, firms can usually get off the hook by paying the balance and a small fine, but for the latter, they will likely be blacklisted and dealt with to the full extent of the law.

BY LEE WEI LIN https://www.8days.sg/entertainment/asian/qinglang-mid-autumn-festival-gala-hongkong-stars-in-liulang-out-15404974 The Cyberspace Administration of China has launched Operation Qinglang to clean up the Chinese internet. And with the blacklisting of “unethical” celebs and the crack down on toxic fan culture, one can say the movement is now in full swing. In the midst of all of this, the initial lineup for this year’s CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala has been revealed on Weibo, giving an insight on how drastic Operation Qinglang is. The annual Mid-Autumn Festival Gala and the Spring Festival Gala are the biggest events on Chinese TV. Organised by the state-run Chinese Media Group, a celeb's attendance at the galas is seen as stamp of approval from the government as well as a measure of one's popularity. Joey & Julian are confirmed to attend Among the attendees this year are 26 artistes from Hongkong, including Nicholas Tse, Joey Yung, Twins, Simon Yam, Jordan Chan, Julian Cheung and Myolie Wu. But what really got netizens talking was the absence of It boys like Wang Yibo, Karry Wang and Cai Xukun, who were all considered shoo-ins to make the guest list. Now sources say that CCTV is trying to curb the popularity of’ these young stars, who are also known as 'liulang idols'. 'Liulang idols' are stars who bring in huge amounts of traffic to a streaming platform because of their huge fanbases, and many attribute their popularity to their good looks rather than their talent. Their fans are also the ones who have gotten in trouble for fighting with fans of other artistes, or mobilising their numbers to organise boycotts if their idol does something that they disagree with. Nana & Xiaotong made the list too That isn’t to say that younger stars have been completely left out from the guest list: Ouyang Nana, 21 and Guan Xiaotong, 23, will be attending the event. Both of them started off as child actors, and are not regarded as 'liulang idols'.
