Li Yifeng's Solicitation Scandal Revealed After 3 Years: Her Lost Bag Led to Police Involvement and His Downfall

China's "People" magazine, in exploring the evolution of moral clauses in celebrity contracts and stars' downfalls, mentioned the inside story of a male star being caught soliciting prostitutes, which was the result of numerous coincidences! People related to the case revealed the process of the star's fall. Although he did not name who it was, netizens speculated that it was the once-popular Li Yifeng.

The report pointed out that one night the male star called for "escort services". After finding that the woman was not feeling well, he still paid her 10,000 RMB (about 5899 MYR) to leave and called another escort. The girl stuffed the money into her Hermès bag and left riding a shared bike (similar to YouBike). As she was drunk earlier, she fell halfway. A passing delivery person helped her up, but after getting up, she found her Hermès bag and cash missing. Suspecting the delivery person took them, but the delivery person said he did not see her bag, the two ended up at the police station. The police traced her activities that night and discovered the male star's solicitation. The Hermès bag, which caused the revelation of the incident, was actually left behind in the star's room, forgotten by the girl.

After the police learned about the star's solicitation, news gradually spread online. His team hurriedly issued a statement to refute the rumors. Unexpectedly, the public security department immediately issued a notice directly pointing out that a 35-year-old actor surnamed Li admitted to multiple offenses of solicitation. What followed was a series of his endorsement brands canceling contracts with him. Li Yifeng made headlines in 2022 when he denied soliciting in a statement, only to be quickly proven wrong by the police, leaving a deep impression. He was indeed 35 at that time, which led netizens to associate the incident with him.

Li Yifeng, having disappeared for 3 years, still cannot forget his life in the entertainment circle. Due to being banned for solicitation, he cannot perform in China and has no entertainment offers. He shifted his focus to Thailand, holding a concert there last month that attracted fans flying in from China. He tearfully apologized to the audience on stage multiple times, stating that he has changed and will have more opportunities and shows to meet fans in the future. He also donned his famous costume from the hit series "Swords of Legends," hoping to keep the love of his loyal fans.
