• at first i also didn't quite understand why he is cancelled so fast as compared to kris wu, and thinking how graveyard his actions as compared to kris. but to think abt it carefully....zhang zhehan case has very obvious evidences for him to get cancelled immediately as compared to kris. plus..he visited the shrine can be equated that you pay a respect to the murderer of your family, and also can be said that as being ignorant on the bad things that had happened to your family. so the cancellation is justified. he deserves to be cancelled

  • He DIDN'T KNOW the shrine had tributes to the war criminals. So how does it equate willingly paying respects to the murderer of your family?!!! And by the way, those pictures that are being called a "nazi salute" are pictures from A MOVIE he was in where the "salute" is a signal to his mentally handicapped brother that he is waiting for him. Again, I ask you, if it was an accident and he didn't know the shrine was offensive, can't he be forgiven?

    • i also said this.."...being ignorant on the bad things that had happened to your family". that's why he deserves to be cancelled. it's not about he DIDN'T know here, but he's being IGNORANT abt his country's history...since it's said that even the elementary school kids also know abt the shrine.

      fyi, i just share the justifications on why he got cancelled immediately and why he deserves to be cancelled in his country. I've no opinion abt him copying the nazi's action. and I'm in no position to say I forgive him since he doesn't know abt the shrine coz I'm not a chinese citizen.

      but if i were given a similar situation, where a figure killed my family, and then someone make a shrine for this figure, where ppls can visit it despite of not knowing the history behind the figure, i would be very pissed off and hurt so much with the visitors' action for being ignorant. coz I'm not a saint to forgive and forget easily.

      disclaimer: I'm not a pro chinese or pro japan / their hater whatsoever. i just give my opinion abt why he's being cancelled immediately in his country.

    • Don't argue with fanatics. Welcome to the way of the socialists. Everything is a trap. Young people believed that China was an open and progressive society, but then it wasn't. Without an enemy you cannot control the people. You're trying to reason with the controllers.

      Facing facts is treason.

• Well, his bad attitude have offended many over the years... Thus the photo incidents was not the main reason he was not forgiven...There are many more news of his arrogance over the years..
  He must still in shock how he lost so much after working to gain them.

• Wow… Pictures dont lie. The fact that he took those kinds of photos say a lot about him as a person.

• Oh please. None of these stories can be believed. Everyone knows communist states sttaight up lie about people they want to cancel. Truth is relevant in a communist state and communist governments are not above threatening people to make false statements about people they want cancelled. Especially if those people have inadvertently embarrassed said state or who are part of a demographic the state wants to intimidate. You should research how commie states have attacked their own cotizens with cancel culture in the past for their own benefit. That is very likely happening here given the recent crack downs on popular celebrities. From the sounds of it this guy got too popular too quickly for the CCP or did something else they did not like. These stories about him are likely lies. And I'm not a fan girl. I have no idea who he is but my parents have fled 2 communist regimes. We know how they work.

  • Oh please. So what if China is a communist country? Just because it is a communist country, they're not allowed to feel hurt for past the atrocities committed to their innocent people by the Japanese, and be offended that a public figure ignorantly taking pictures of a shrine dedicated to those criminals? Yes, my parents had also fled a communist regime (Vietnam), but my grandparents who lived there during WW2 were also terrorized during the Japanese occupation, so did China. So no, I'm not a commie sympathizer. So sick of these conspiracy theories about how the govt is doing a smear campaign on an innocent artist. The pictures were posted by him. Stop being a troll.

    • No, I'm saying because China is a communist country they are probably lying about this actor making these comments. That he probably never made them but they have forced these people to come forward and accuse him/doctor pictures because he either did something the CCP is not happy with or because it gives them an excuse to go after what is arguably the closest thing China has to capitalists: their celebreties. Research what Stalin did to Nikolai Yezhov. The biggest reason for his cancellation and execution was because he was deemed to have too much power. Same is happening with the Chinese celebrities. Communist countries are not normal. Everything is political. If they can whitewash these purges under the form of patriotism so much the better.

    • @Anon

      Before writing essay to put blame on communist for his down fall, I suggest you to use google and type 'Yasukini Shrine' under news section and read. Both China and South Korea have been strongly condemning the Japan's ministers for visiting the shrine 2 days ago. This has always been a huge issue for these countries.

      Now, are you telling me that South Korea is a communist country? STOP with your conspiracy theories when you clearly lack of information about the issue. It just make yourself sounds very ignorant. Read and educate yourself first beforw shooting bullets into a thin air

• *shakes head at above post*

  Blaming the communist and the government for all the photos he took himself? Lol that's reaching. Fans just grab whatever reasons they can think of to defend their bias but if he never did all that, then no matter how they want him down, they also can't make those photos up

  • I am not a fan of the guy. I do not know him. All I have done is study history and you can see the patterns repeating themselves again. Communist governments are not trustworthy and always manufacture news to take down who they perceive to be their enemies. When you look at the way Chinese celebrities have been targeted these last few years (I believe their most famous actress had to bribe her way out of jail in the form of 'back taxes') you can see the CCP has decided to terrorise and control Chinese celebrities. Very likely because of the influence they now wield over the population.

    If you look up historical incidents of how communist governments in the past you would see how this was done. In Caechoslovakia for example one town was told a worker in the next town over had doubled his towns production by executing a simple change in his manufacturing process. Because it had worked for him everyone should institute this change and produce 20% more. If you did not you were a traitor to the state. No matter how hard this town worked they could not get an additional 20% production and the government started arresting the workers as traitors. This led to a rebellion and the local government was overthrown.

    The locals travelled to the next town and asked the workers there how they had achieved such high production goals. The answer: they had not. But they had been told the town which had rebelled had achieved those goals due to a certain change in production process. Turned out everyone had been lied to and no one had achieved those goals. But the communist government had needed to up production and so had lied to everyone.

    I know nothing about the photos but I have heard that the ones with the problematic salute belonged to part of a films production the actor in question was filming. I don't know if this is true or if they were digitally altered. Or that they are real but that the communist government has decided this actor is not to be tolerated as a celebrity for any number of reasons.

    I am pointing the above out because it is very worrying to see so many of the younger generation unaware of what communism is and how it operates. Never forget it is a deeply manipulative system that is lying 9 times out of 10. Never believe anything a communist government says. It is for your own safety.

• The issue is quite big and he is most likely a talented but selfish rude douche who has no sense of responsibility and common sense. glad he was outed quite early before all things got more to his head and become more douchier or worse.

  But man i marvel at just how powerful fandom can be. They can make you or break you. The the part when The fans did the Nazi salute because he did it, that is just blind adoration if you ever see one. And those pictures are some from quite a long time ago, So they have these evidences of his misdeeds...
  Then their is the case of Kris Wu and Seungri, their fandom still continue to support them...

  Just what is the crossing line for the fandom to break it off? in his case its this. But the other fandoms, rape and prostitutions seems to be not a breaking point...

• There are about 20 accounts who shared their experiences working with him. Some from CF's staff as well and have photos too.

  Seen a clip of his interview where the interviewer asked him to recommend a book that he recently read (since he is known to be someone who love reading and selling this persona to public) and he can't give one single book title to recommend ^^;;;

  • Is there any article about 20 accs shared their experience working with him?? And seriously, he cant give one single book title while his image is bookworm?? Lol.. this hilarious

• Okay, I'm taking back my comments that I said this situation is overblown. Dude should have hired someone vetting all of his pictures before posting it. I still can't believe that no one said anything 3 years ago. It's not like they decide to be patriot now and not then.

  • Because he wasn't popular back then and fans covered it for him. No one will go digging all these. Non fans and passersby definitely won't. Now that he is popular, all they need is to make these things trending on hot search for people to see. So now, everyone see all these pictures on hot search and Koala didn't post even half of those

• His Nazi salut was said to be part of the movie he did. Even his costar clarified it years ago.

  I guess all good things comes to an end. He has the good looks but seems to be not very smart and now he’s paying for it. As often with many things in life that it’s too good to be true. Men who are really good looking tend to be arrogant and just plain stupid in this case.

  It’s really too bad bc I really like him out of all the new actors as he’s quite talented in acting. Any hope of him coming back is nonexistent at this point.

  The Chinese entertainment is like being in jungle as there are such fierce competition. Even someone not as well known as Li Yi Tong had bad rumors started because the other star’s agent was in competition with her. So i imagine someone was already out trying to settle their beef with him. There will always be someone else that can replace him easily.

• Guess I had fallen for his genteel persona too. Now all I can think is "what a dumb, mannerless douche" and "He's an even better actor than I expected".

  And these pics weren't from so long ago either.

  That said, I do hope they won't go as far as erase his past projects.
