Overseasidol.com — Wang Yuwen Studio has sparked major discussion across Chinese entertainment circles after issuing a strong official statement on January 25, 2026.
The studio announced a complete suspension of all promotional activities for Wang Yuwen’s newly released drama, which had just premiered and quickly gained widespread public attention.
According to the statement, the decision was made due to repeated unprofessional conduct by the publicity team working with the drama’s production.
The studio accused the team of spreading unfounded rumors about the actress and deliberately creating tension between Wang Yuwen’s side and key partner platforms, including Weibo and Youku.
The controversy reportedly began when Wang Yuwen uploaded two promotional videos on Douyin, fully in line with the production team’s requests.
However, the publicity team later misrepresented the situation to the platform, claiming the content was independently planned by the actress herself.
This misinformation led to a platform misunderstanding, resulting in Wang Yuwen being questioned for allegedly violating an unwritten rule limiting promotional posts during a drama’s airing period.
Wang Yuwen’s studio emphasized that her team had consistently cooperated with all promotional arrangements.
These efforts included livestreams, office visits, and short-form video production.
The impact was evident, as the drama surpassed 800 million topic views within its first three days and achieved a completion rate of 92 percent.
Amid growing public scrutiny, the drama’s official account released a response later that same day, acknowledging that certain members of the publicity team had indeed spread baseless allegations about the actress.
The production stated that internal reviews would be conducted.
As a result, the new drama starring Wang Yuwen and Chen Xingxu continues to dominate discussions, not only for its storyline but also for the unfolding behind-the-scenes controversy.
