Ning Yizhuo Warns of Legal Action Against Online Abusers Targeting Her Family

Dragon Media News Desk

Ning Yizhuo, the Chinese member of South Korean girl group aespa, has warned of legal action against social media accounts accused of repeatedly posting insulting content targeting her fans, relatives and friends.

Ning, widely known by her stage name Ningning, publicly identified two accounts on Weibo on July 22, saying they had long spread defamatory claims and directed abusive remarks at her family and people close to her.

One of the accounts reportedly used a photograph of Ning’s mother as its profile picture without permission and accompanied it with offensive comments. Ning initially asked the user to remove the photograph, but publicly responded after the request was ignored.

Ning said some of those involved in the online attacks might be young and urged them to use the internet in a healthy and responsible manner. She warned that legal measures could follow if similar conduct continued. Chinese media reported that Weibo subsequently permanently suspended the accounts involved.

Meanwhile, speculation has circulated in China’s entertainment community over a possible personal relationship between actor Zhang Linghe and actress Wang Churan. The two recently appeared together in the romantic television drama This Moment Is Too Intense.

The series began streaming on iQIYI on July 19. The platform describes it as a 33-episode romance set against a historical background. Their interactions during promotional events prompted online speculation, but neither actor nor their representatives have confirmed a relationship.

Claims concerning the marriage, children and will of prominent Hong Kong filmmaker, director and actor Stephen Chow have also resurfaced on social media.

Some entertainment accounts have claimed that Chow remains unmarried and has made arrangements to leave part of his estate to actresses Xu Jiao and Lin Yun.

However, neither Chow nor his official representatives have recently issued any public statement concerning his marital status, children or will. Claims that actress Cecilia Cheung has been included in his will also lack official or documentary confirmation and should therefore be treated as unverified entertainment speculation.

There has also been discussion about Yue opera performer Chen Lijun potentially taking the leading role in a television series tentatively titled Miss Zhu.

Online reports claim that the project may be based on the novel Did Miss Zhu Fall Into Trouble Today? and could begin filming in September.

However, no official announcement has been made by a production company or streaming platform. Although reports say Chen has been approached for the role, the cast, financing, production schedule and distribution platform have not been formally confirmed.

Speculation has similarly emerged that members of the Chinese boy group Teens in Times could hold separate solo concerts.

Their management company, Time Fengjun Entertainment, may arrange further group concerts and performances, but it has not officially announced solo concert plans for any individual member.

In China’s entertainment industry, rumours about private relationships and new projects often spread rapidly during drama promotions, music releases and periods of increased social media activity.

Unless such information is confirmed by the artists, their management companies, production studios or streaming platforms, it should not be presented as established fact.
