Yu Menglong’s death by falling was officially closed as an accident, but netizens suspect there’s more to the story. All celebrities and public figures rumored to have been present at the scene continue to face online harassment. Among those being named is Fan Shiqi, who was in the same talent show batch and signed with the same management agency as Yu Menglong. Fan had previously condemned such accusations as slander and denounced cyberbullying. However, recently, multiple videos allegedly from the event have surfaced online, including audio believed to be Yu Menglong’s. Voiceprint analysis reportedly claims a 99.57% match with Fan Shiqi, and some netizens discovered that Fan suddenly admitted being the culprit on Weibo, but deleted the post within ten minutes.
Recently, netizens found that Fan Shiqi had posted: “No matter how much you act up, you still can’t do anything to me. That’s right, I killed Yu Menglong because he deserved to die,” but deleted it after ten minutes. Given the sensitive timing, screenshots were already circulating online.
Fan Shiqi also suddenly announced the cancellation of his solo concert originally scheduled for the 18th in Chengdu, citing the artist’s health as evaluated by his medical team. He offered full refunds and covered fans’ travel and accommodation losses, suffering heavy financial losses. However, netizens speculate the concert was actually canceled due to boycotts related to the Yu Menglong case — with poor ticket sales and concerns about being egged or mobbed.
Fan Shiqi currently appears in the hit drama series “Permit Me to Shine,” reportedly playing Jiang Liang, the suitor after Xu Yan’s marital separation. The production is keeping a low profile regarding his involvement; promotional materials have avoided mentioning him, in an effort to minimize impact.
