Wang Yibo Privately Disses Xiao Zhan for Acting in Bad Dramas? 'The Untamed' CP Fans Devastated

Private chat logs of Chinese actor Wang Yibo leaked online? In the early hours of the 28th, a series of screenshots claiming to be Wang Yibo's private chat records suddenly went viral on Weibo's trending topics. The content is alleged to be a conversation between Wang Yibo and his rumored girlfriend Qi Mei He, where he not only criticizes many Chinese male stars, but even his co-star Xiao Zhan from the BL costume drama 'The Untamed' did not escape unscathed—he was mocked for his poor physique and for acting in bad dramas, causing many 'The Untamed' CP supporters to be shocked and devastated. In response, Wang Yibo’s agency, Yuehua Entertainment, quickly issued a statement, stressing that the content was completely fabricated and defamatory, and that they have commissioned lawyers to take legal action.

In the multiple segments of chat log, which have sparked heated discussion on Weibo, the person alleged to be Wang Yibo mocks Xiao Zhan: “His head is too big, his shoulders are too sloped,” and complains he can’t carry off fashionable clothes. He also ruthlessly mocks Xiao Zhan by saying, “Why is he still acting in bad dramas?” Other male stars also allegedly insulted in private include Zhang Hao, Cai Xukun, Wang Sulong, Chen Feiyu, and others.

Guan Xiaotong and Wang Sulong also named

However, the point that has caused the most controversy is that “many celebrities were disparaged.” Among those targeted are: Guan Xiaotong not deserving Chanel, Wu Lei having an ugly hairstyle, Wang Sulong needing 20 minutes rest after a single workout move, Cai Xukun being greasy, and even Korean stars aespa and Zhang Yuanying were not spared in their chat.

In the past, Wang Yibo had worked with Xiao Zhan in the double-male-lead costume drama 'The Untamed.' The two characters in the show, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, were hyped as the “WangXian CP,” with many BL (Boys’ Love) fans supporting them. However, after filming, the two have rarely appeared together off-screen. Now, with Wang Yibo allegedly saying bad things about Xiao Zhan in private, many CP fans are devastated and refuse to believe that the two are not friends or have no relationship in real life.

Agency Quickly Refutes

In response to the leaked chat records, Wang Yibo’s agency Yuehua Entertainment promptly issued a lawyer’s statement at 7:51 AM this morning on Weibo, emphasizing that all the content was completely fake, fabricated, and a malicious attempt to smear Wang Yibo’s image. "Our company has now fully collected all the evidence and has commissioned lawyers to handle the case. We have zero tolerance for any act that infringes upon Wang Yibo’s legal rights and will pursue responsibility to the fullest extent of the law."

Fans Rally to Support Wang Yibo  

 Source of the Rumor Identified

Yuehua also urged the broad public not to believe false content. Fans have come out en masse to support Wang Yibo, believing the tone of the chat record is too crude and could not possibly be written by him. “This style of talking could be anyone, except Wang Yibo,” “How could Wang Yibo possibly talk like this, not even close,” “Wang Yibo is only suffering unwarranted disaster.”

It is reported that the person who spread the rumors has now been identified by authorities as a 19-year-old female college student surnamed Li. She allegedly picked up a discarded mobile phone belonging to Wang Yibo, and used the number to create a Xiaohongshu account to post the fake chat screenshots. She will be held legally responsible.
