Golden Melody Award winner Wu Sikai’s 31-year-old son Wu Liang (formerly Wu Jing) was recently embroiled in a controversy over 'drugging and tricking for sex'. He immediately denied the allegations and stated he would take legal action to defend his innocence. On the 9th, he was further accused of not repaying debts and of violating a protection order by harassing his ex-girlfriend, leading to his prosecution by the prosecutor.
According to Mirror Weekly, a woman who claimed to have dated Wu Liang came forward to accuse him, stating that during their relationship he repeatedly borrowed money from her for things such as car repairs, booking VIP rooms at nightclubs, and paying fines. Altogether, he owed her NT$60,000 (about RM7,460). After they broke up, the debt was overdue for nearly two months before being settled. She also revealed that even at 31, Wu Liang still relies on his father. The report also noted that Wu Liang continued to harass his ex-girlfriend with offensive messages even after she obtained a protection order from the court, which ultimately led to the prosecutor filing charges.
Wu Liang had already made the news back in 2018. That year, while studying in the United States, he was arrested for carrying a knife on the street. At the time, Wu Sikai said in an interview: 'Wu Liang has depression and bipolar disorder. As parents, we can only hope that he recovers smoothly and can return to school, and hopefully contribute to society in the future.' He also explained that his son attended Berklee College of Music, and the incident with the knife was a self-defense reaction because he felt bullied.
After returning to Taiwan to recuperate, Wu Liang has continued in recent years to share his music on social media, including covers of Jay Chou’s songs and his own work "Girl, Love Me To". This latest controversy has once again put him in the media spotlight. Whether legal proceedings will continue remains to be seen, pending further response from both parties.
