China's 'short drama idol' He Jianqi was embroiled in an infidelity scandal on the 3rd, with allegations that he shared a bed with his girlfriend and the next day took another woman to a hotel room. He was poised to transition to the long drama market, but was immediately replaced. On the 4th, Chinese authorities swiftly released a statement, officially listing him as a 'tarnished artist', effectively ending his 2-year entertainment career.
The Youth Work Committee under the China Drama Production Industry Association (referred to as 'Youth Committee') issued an article on the 4th titled 'Risk Warning on Short Drama Tarnished Actors'. It addressed He Jianqi's infidelity scandal: 'Causing widespread public discussion and creating a negative social impact.' It emphasized that production companies should firmly resist artists with illegal acts, severe misconduct, or unethical behavior.
Furthermore, it made a significant statement about future regulation of short drama actors, stating, 'Regarding actors who violate laws and regulations or exhibit unethical behavior, once solid evidence is obtained, complaints can be filed with our committee. We will verify the information, disclose it publicly, and issue risk warnings.' Since He Jianqi debuted just two years ago and rose to the top as a short drama idol thanks to his handsome appearance, his rapid downfall has left many netizens quite shocked.
