The Chinese actor Song Ningfeng, who participated in "Go Lala Go!" and the Golden Horse-nominated film "All About Love," was recently exposed for cheating during his marriage, with the other party being Ms. Q, whom he met at a work-related gathering. The focus of public uproar was that Song Ningfeng not only hid his marital status, but was also accused of taking his young daughter to meet with his mistress. Even after being caught, he shamelessly demanded the mistress "compensate" him for his family losses, drawing massive criticism online for "shattering all three views." On the morning of the 1st, Song Ningfeng issued a long apology on Weibo, announcing he would quit the entertainment industry indefinitely.
Song Ningfeng and his agent-wife Zhang Wanting once participated in the reality show "Goodbye My Love 2." On the show, he apologized to his wife for marrying due to pregnancy, presenting an image of a "responsible and devoted" man. However, recent revelations showed that since January 2025, Song Ningfeng had an extramarital affair with Ms. Q, externally claiming he would get divorced, and privately exchanged nude photos.
What angered netizens most was that Song Ningfeng took his daughter to meet his mistress. An audio recording revealed that when Song Ningfeng was confronted by his wife, he instead questioned the mistress: "You know I have a family, Wanting will sue you... Why should I compensate you? Didn't you destroy my family and should compensate me?" It was even reported that Zhang Wanting joined him in demanding compensation from the mistress and threatened to release nude photos. These chaotic statements sparked a huge online backlash.
After several days of silence, Song Ningfeng issued a lengthy apology on the morning of the 1st. He started by admitting he didn't dare look at his phone these past days, and stated that if more recordings or records are leaked, he would fully acknowledge them: "Whatever it is, it's my fault." He self-reflected that statements like "promises mean nothing" and "shouldn't you compensate me" truly came from a "most selfish, cowardly, shameless" self.
Regarding the public's biggest concern about his daughter, Song Ningfeng clarified that during the recording, his daughter was asleep in another room and did not witness any intimate acts. Yet, he painfully stated: "What I have done is the greatest failing a father could make; I am unworthy of being a dad." Regarding his wife, Zhang Wanting, Song Ningfeng expressed deep guilt, confessing that he used to consider her emotional, but in retrospect realized her anxieties were real.
He also spoke in Zhang Wanting's defense over her threat to the mistress: "I don't blame her; I only blame myself for pushing her to that point." At the same time, Song Ningfeng apologized to Ms. Q, admitting it was his concealment of marriage and betrayal of trust, culminating in trying to shift the blame to her. He said: "Please hold me accountable for everything that has happened."
At the end of his statement, Song Ningfeng announced: "From today, I am officially suspending all entertainment work indefinitely." He stated he would seek help from a psychologist and fully cooperate with his wife's decisions from now on, and finally pleaded with the public not to dox or harass his family.
