Two C-dramas were affected this past week due to a rookie/newbie actor named Chu Zi Jun, who at 22 years old and barely into the industry may already be done with career wise. C-ent gossip is saying that Chu Zi Jun is being investigated for rape after an accusation, and that he was led away by authorities on the filming set of Duoluo Continent 2 (called The Land of Warriors) and that filming has been halted for the time being on that set. He has a supporting role in period C-drama My Journey to You, not as big as a second male lead but also not just a random few scenes character either. Reportedly the production is last minute editing him out of that drama in order to air by month end but not sure how that will affect the quality of said drama narrative.
Leaked rumours was that he raped a minor as the victim was under 18.
If that is true, then that’s absolutely vile and disgusting 🤮
I don’t expect anything good from men, yet I’m still somehow always disappointed 🤮🤮🤮
So this summer I was very much looking forward to the story of Kunning Palace and to My journey to you. KP was shelved, at least for the time being, and now this. Plus, coincidentally, the ML in both was Zhang Linghe, tough luck for him too.
Anyway, I hope the victim is ok.
How is a supporting actor’s scandals to do with the entire drama? How the heck does one actor’s shabby behavior have to be the reason for punishing the entire cohort behind the drama production? China always has something to surprise me. LMAO
Well, My Journey to You is airing and his scenes are definitely not cut. I hate rumours.
