Controversy

[edit | edit source]

In February 2023, paparazzo “Super Photographer Yangyang” released intimate photos of Chen with a married internet influencer “Shi Yilin Ya” (是亦琳吖), who was Chen’s fan-site manager during the filming of Secret Fruit. The paparazzo alleged that the two had been in a relationship since 2021. Chen subsequently clarified that neither party had other relationships at the time of their involvement and filed a lawsuit against the paparazzo for invasion of privacy.

In March 2023, five individuals, including “Super Photographer Yangyang,” were detained by the Beijing police for 5–7 days for “collaborating with others to disseminate others’ private information online.” After being released, “Super Photographer Yangyang” posted on Weibo: “My parents taught me to be righteous and brave. I did not spread rumors or take money—I have no regrets.”[23] In March 2024, the Beijing Internet Court issued a first-instance judgment, ruling that “Super Photographer Yangyang” had violated Chen 's legitimate rights by publishing private photos of him without consent. The court ordered the defendant to issue a public apology and pay damages totaling 150,000 yuan for emotional distress and economic losses. Chen announced that the compensation would be donated to the Red Cross Society in Yanshan County, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province, to support medical aid and living assistance for Korean War veterans.[24]
