On the 16th, the studio of top Chinese star Jackson Yee issued a lawyer’s statement, announcing litigation against netizens who have long spread false information about Jackson Yee’s “Queshui” concert. The statement emphasized that rumor-mongers maliciously associated artistic arrangements at the concert, such as the shaping of mountains with soil, with superstition.
The incident began in the early preparation stages of the concert, when the studio issued a special call encouraging fans to bring soil from their hometowns, symbolizing collective strength and a tracing of roots. Fans were very excited at the time, sharing their digging experiences on social media. However, this also sparked controversy, as some netizens associated the act with superstition and distorted it to claim the artist was trying to boost his own fortune.
Jackson Yee’s studio stated that these claims have caused serious damage to the reputation of the artist and the project. The lawsuit documents are under review and will be formally submitted to the court within a week. The statement also publicly listed several blacklisted accounts, and wrote: “Maliciously defaming the artist’s reputation, harming the works, twisting intentions, crossing the bottom line—tolerance is exhausted. From now on, this will be left to the law to decide.”
