Chinese male star Fan Shiqi debuted through a singing talent competition. In addition to releasing singles, he has also participated in several drama productions. However, after being implicated in the Yu Menglong fall incident in 2025, his public image was seriously affected. Now, it is reported that he has been removed from the cast of a new drama, sparking heated discussion among netizens.
Reportedly, Fan Shiqi was originally listed as a guest star in the drama 'Moon Scale Chronicle', but when the show’s scheduled release was officially promoted, netizens noticed that his name was missing from the official press materials. This move made some netizens connect it to the previous incident, stirring further debate.
In response, Fan Shiqi’s studio issued a statement on March 31, stating that they respected the production team's publicity arrangements. They emphasized that all filming content had been completed and that they would actively negotiate future promotional matters for the artist, while also calling on viewers to look forward to the broadcast of the drama. After the post went public, it sparked polarized reactions from netizens; some criticized the production team, saying “any reasonable person would boycott this move”, while fans expressed support for Fan Shiqi, calling for respect for his professionalism and efforts.
