The hottest star couple in C-ent right now is without a doubt Fan Bing Bing and Li Chen. It’s not just the couple being super famous actors even before dating, or that they look so adorably perfect together, the third layer of media and public scrutiny involves the prior relationships that continue to generate headlines. Li Chen’s ex-girlfriend C-actress Viann Zhang (Zhang Xin Yu) has been passive-aggressively posting on her weibo laments mixed with congratulations for the new couple, hinting that things didn’t end properly with her and Li Chen before he moved on.
The two officially broke up in 2013 so public sympathy isn’t on her side, especially since the reason for the breakup was Viann cheating on Li Chen with Wallace Huo (which Wallace denied). Then Viann’s friend posted on her weibo a direct attack on Li Chen for two-timing Viann with Fan Bing Bing, and finally that pushed Li Chen over the edge and he responded with the most direct explanation I’ve ever read coming from a star. He asked Viann and her friends to stop with the false attacks to generate publicity for her side, reiterated that they broke up in 2013 when Viann cheated on him with Mr. Huo, and he was single with he met Bing Bing. Oh BURN!
The public spotted Li Chen and Fan Bing Bing in Lhasa, Tibet last weekend for a charity event. They arrived in the city separately but spent the event together, including being snapped holding hands walking on the street with Li Chen holding Bing Bing’s pink umbrella to shield her from the sun. Later they were spotted at the airport leaving on the same flight, and then a passenger snapped a pic of them nestled together on the plane taking a nap. I think these two are way too cute for words, with the normally haughty aloof Bing Bing taking on a warmer softer aura around Li Chen. He’s also known in the industry for being down-to-earth and sincere, while Viann has a reputation for stoking the media to her advantage, so on this he said-she said kerfluffle my sympathy is all on Li Chen.
But then again, poor Wallace Huo getting dragged back into this mess when it’s been nearly two years since the scandal that Viann may have cheated on Li Chen with him.
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…

Now this is what a real man stepping up onto the stage and bearing the truth for all to see is a keeper for sure!!! way to go FBB - marry him :)
Poor Wallace! For such a low key guy, trouble loves him. There so many scandal (extremely bad ones) surrounding him. Whereas, the other Wallace (Chung that is) is pretty much scandal free.
I fall in love with Wallace Chung after watching My Sunshine. He's such a good actor and he played He YiChen extremely well. He's the only reason I finished it until the end. Wallace Chung looks so young for his age, part of it could be bcoz he's a vegetarian too.
Li Chen ex seems like she's bitter that Li Chen has found someone who's above and beyond than her. So she can't accept and dragging it to the media to side with her. But too bad, even public can see her motives.
It's really not good for Wallace Huo since his name was mentioned again when it's all forgotten. Can't blame Li Chen for doing so, it's all his ex fault.
I am ready to watch Hua Qian Gu with Wallace Huo and Zhao LiYing. That drama is not going to have a happy ending for sure, but i will gladly watch it for both of them.
Wallace Huo isn't exactly known as a "good guy". He's had all sorts of scandals in the past so I think it's natural that he gets dragged into shit, plus I wouldn't discount all of these rumours since - well, there must be a reason why they get spread in the first place. He's also very good-looking, which probably makes him a ladies man.
On the other hand, Wallace Chung just looks so gentlemanly. He's the epitome of the good guy persona.
You should watch Wallace chung on that amazing race with his younger sister. I loved him more for it. Such a little boy around her.
There was one scene when he lost her and he was walking around calling her name like he was a lost kid.
My image of the perfect gentleman Wallace chung was shattered but in its place, a warm hearted and kindly man who loved his family, loved his career and just has so much love for life itself.
"He’s had all sorts of scandals in the past"- if you remember most of these scandals occurred when his dramas were airing e.g. Swordsman the rumour with Joe Chen.
he just goes out to eat with friends or buy ice cream as one user pointed out. Btw he is known for being a good guy- he's respected by other artists for his attitude so his "scandals" are made up by the media since he's so boring and theres nothing to write about aside from his drama promos.....
Viann Zhang Is terribly annoying she really does anything to get the attention.. Same thing happened with Ron Ng except he ignored everything she said LOL!
I've never heard of Li Chen until he got together with FBB. Don't see his appeal or why these beautiful ladies are all over him!
Me too. Can't see the reason, and don't know who he is.
Looks are fairly ordinary. As for bods, most guys have them these days.
He must have an awesome personality?
Seems really stupid for a person who cheated first, to blow this out of proportion. Pot calling a kettle black situation. Yes draws attention perhaps, but of the unpleasant wrong kind. Stooopid.
Probably looks way better in person + has a great personality. Or maybe he's just that good in bed LOL jk...sort of...
I don't think he's very photogenic. He looks better when you see him in motion like on the Chinese version of Running Man.
watch hurry up brother. i didn't see his appeal and found him looking like a cherub lmao but in motion he looks quite classy and dapper.
I only know him from chinese version of running man called Hurry up brother
He was on Saving General Yang. I love that movie. He is not photogenic but when you keep looking at his picture, you will see he is handsome. I love the way he treat FBB.
Not much a fan of this couple but is nice to know that they are not hiding their romance. I'm glad a lot of celebs are open to their romance now than before. However, I do find Li Chen had spoken to much about in the letter his posted on his weibo about his relationship with Viann Zhang. Stating this happen and that happen. It makes him a lesser gentleman than he seem and a bit of a jerk to be honest!
Umm, no. His ex was the one who started with the Weibo posts, so obviously she must have been okay with having their relationship talked about publicly. And she told lies, with the intent of besmirching his name and that of his new gf by extension. Li Chen owed her absolutely nothing and I don't see why he should have taken her abuse quietly when he had done nothing wrong. His ex got nothing more than she deserved (probably less).
Considering she was the one who brought it up constantly and must have spoken to her friends about him cheating as well for her friend to make a direct attack on him, I say he was well within his rights to fight back. If she really did cheat on him first then having not said anything in all the post she did and only did so when her friend posted makes me see him as more tolerent than most men already.
She is basically blacking his name, and if what he said where true, he's got a good case for defamation on her.
The break up must have been pretty bad if there're still unresolved issues after 2 whole years.
And why does Wallace get more sympathy? Men who have affairs with women in relationships should be critised too,
He denied it though, it could be that Viann is just being clingy.
Some girls like Viann just try too hard to hit on guys.
And why are we quick to believe him? Men hardly ever bring up other men into this kind of mess unless it is true, because it hurts their ego. What would Lichen have to gain from bringing up Wallace besides feeling disrespected and humiliated?
Wallace actually refused to respond to the rumours during the press conference for Journey of Flower. Plus everyone is mistaken, in Li Chen's post he didn't say anything about a "Mr Huo" one of his friends during their argument with Viann's friends brought it up.
Wallace is well known for being low key and a nice and serious guy- the reason why he probably got dragged in could be in anticipation of his upcoming drama. Wallace definitely isn't an attention seeking guy so he would never date someone like Viann. The fact he refuses to respond to the reporters' constant questions proves this.
And why is Wallace's name being dragged through the mud when there's no proof at all?? Why is his reputation torn to shreds and his career damaged when there's proof at all?
Viann's dramatic antics on weibo are well-known. If she was truly involved with Wallace, is it possible that a loudmouth like her can stay quiet for this long? Even if she won't say it's Wallace out right, she'd bombard us with so much annoying hints that there's no doubt it's Wallace.
This scandal was started by Li Chen in 2013, who deleted his weibo accusation about Wallace by the way. However, he can't deny he started it because the media and other people have saved his post before he could delete it. This is a serious accusation that damages Wallace's reputation and career severely so isn't it right that he should be presumed innocent until proven guilty? For some unexplained reason, the public is quick to trust Li Chen and cast their stones at Wallace, based on nothing except Li Chen's deleted weibo post.
Anyone who bothers to read and watch interviews about Wallace will know what a great guy he is, how well he treats his fans and how the people who work with him have nothing except praises for him.
edit: Why is Wallace's reputation torn to shreds and his career damaged when there’s no proof at all?
Idon't know much about his scandals or hers, but I believe he handled the situation in a classy manner, with closure for the other girl, and assurance for Fan Bing Bing.
Was Li Chen classy when he posted on weibo linking Wallace to Viann without any proof and deleted the post later? If true, why not leave up the post and give the public some proof too? Otherwise, all the public have to go on is Li Chen's words, which he retracted later by the way by deleting his weibo post. Luckily, other people and the media saved the post so Li Chen can't deny he did it.
In general, is it classy to accuse someone of a serious deed that harms that person's reputation and damage their career without being able to show any proof?
Through all of this, it's been Li Chen and Viann back and forth on weibo along with their friends trying to make the other side seem like the bad guy. Wallace has stayed silent, held his head high and stayed above the fray, even though his reputation has unfairly suffered the most.
In the 3 years from the time Li Chen started this scandal himself, Li Chen has not shown the public any proof that Wallace is the third party! What makes Li Chen more trustworthy than Wallace? Why does the public give Li Chen the benefit of the doubt and not give Wallace the same respect, especially since it's Wallace reputation and career that have been damaged from this?
I knew it! I said to myself Lidge would definitely come here....heheheheh.
I love that annouced it right before their reality show starts
Also for those curious about Li Chen's charisma I suggest watching Hurry Up Brother (Chinese version of Running Man)
I really liked his characters in Soldier Sortie (with Wang Baoqiang, Chen Sicheng, Duan Yihong) and Beijing Love Story (with Chen Sicheng, Tong Liya, Yang Mi).
Good for him. He's doing everything a boyfriend should do instead of letting his megastar girlfriend (not really clear on his status within the Chinese industry) take the heat of the scrutiny.
It always amazes me, the ex-girlfriends or ex-boyfriends who just can't seem to let go or know the meaning of "It's over."
Good for him for stepping up like that. The only C-drama I've ever watched is "Love In Beijing" and Li Chen was in it. I thought it was great and thought he was quite good in it.
Wishing him and his new girlfriend happiness.
This is like how SM company and their ex-artists with the law suits.
