#SHOWBIZ: Disgraced host Mickey Huang and actress Summer Meng divorced?
TAIPEI: Disgraced Taiwanese TV host Mickey Huang and his wife, actress Summer Meng, are reported to have separated. According to The Straits Times yesterday, this development follows Huang's numerous scandals, including his possession of child abuse material. Taiwanese news website CTWant received a tip-off suggesting the couple have quietly finalised their divorce, ending their five-year marriage. Huang's lawyer, Hsiao Chi-yun, neither denied nor confirmed the news, stating only: "Thank you for your concern. They will prioritise their family." Huang, 53, and Meng, 33, registered their marriage in March 2020 after approximately seven years of dating. Meng, known for her roles in idol dramas such as Love, Timeless (2017) and Single Ladies Senior (2018), announced her pregnancy on social media in November 2021. Their daughter was born in May 2022. The couple frequently shared aspects of their family life on social media and were once considered an ideal pairing within Taiwan's entertainment industry. Huang, a prolific television presenter and multiple Golden Bell Award winner, experienced a significant downfall in June 2023. This followed accusations of sexual harassment by two female netizens, incidents alleged to have occurred around a decade earlier. A criminal investigation into Huang led to his indictment in May 2024, after raids on his home and studio uncovered several pornographic videos. In December 2024, he was sentenced to eight months in prison and fined NT$100,000 (RM14,174) for possessing over 2,200 sexually explicit images involving 35 minors. Both the prosecution and Huang have appealed this ruling. Meng supported Huang throughout the scandal, but she faced criticism from netizens for expressing her backing, which significantly impacted her acting career. She withdrew from the TV series The Thrifty Family (2024) in July 2023.

Creative Roundtable: Elite Team Continues the Legacy, Delving Into the Gray Areas of Human Nature The series, from the creative team behind The Pig, The Snake, and The Pigeon, underwent four months of preparation and 120 days of filming.

It delves deeper into psychological issues such as family trauma and moral conflict. Ethan Juan shared that his character, Lin San, has a complex inner journey that mirrors many aspects of his own life.

First Teaser: Stark Aesthetics Hit Home At the press conference, the teaser trailer 'Destined Suspense' was unveiled. With chilling lighting and intense sound design, it builds a bold aesthetic that amplifies suspense.

The series will be introduced to mainland China by Youhug Media and Youku, and exclusively streamed on Youku. Following the event, Confessions entered post-production. The team will fuse Eastern and Western cultural elements, using sharp editing and visual effects to help Chinese drama cross linguistic and regional borders. With its striking dark aesthetic and universal moral themes, the show aims to leave a bold mark on the psychological suspense genre and redefine the peak of Chinese storytelling.
