Xu Kai was accused by his ex-girlfriend Xu Lisha of cheating, and on the 8th was further exposed for allegedly engaging in long-term group gambling, reportedly using his mansion as a private 'casino'. His agency, Huanyu Entertainment, issued a statement denouncing the allegations as untrue. Not only has his new drama Ziye Gui just finished airing, but he is also a regular cast member on the variety show Mistery Room Escape, with the latest episode scheduled to air on the 10th. Whether the show will air as planned has drawn public attention.
Xu Kai was originally a guest in season 4, and then became a regular member from season 5 to the latest season. He often shows a fear of the dark during the challenges, and though he is teased for being timid, his contrasting cute side has won over many fans. The show began airing its 7th season on July 9, with new episodes expected to release every Wednesday. A preview had indicated a new episode would air on the 10th.
However, following Xu Kai’s recent cheating and gambling scandals, the latest episode of Mistery Room Escape aired on the 1st, and the show's official Weibo account has continued to update, but there has been no preview confirming whether a new episode will broadcast on the 10th as planned. Some netizens are concerned the show may be affected, leaving comments urging, 'Hurry up and finish broadcasting tomorrow,' and 'Don’t let one person ruin everyone’s efforts, please air the new episode soon.' Others have commented as fans, 'Reject all public opinion convictions,' and 'Looking forward to seeing Xu Kai on Wednesday.'
