Meng Ziyi addresses worries about weight loss
11 Aug – Meng Ziyi recently assured that she will be fine, after netizens expressed concern with her unhealthy weight loss. According to SETN, the actress, who has been busy filming her new drama, "Blossoms of Power", was revealed to have had her weight continuously dropping throughout filming due to its high-intensity nature. In just three months, Meng lost nearly 5kg compared to when she was filming "Keep Running" earlier this year. It was said that she is now 45kg, and with a height of 170cm, Meng's BMI is below the normal range at 15.4 (normal range is 18.5 to 23.9). In response to public concern, the actress posted, "When autumn comes on 9 August, after my flowers bloom, I'll wait for all the others to wither," emphasising that her weight loss was not due to intentional dieting, but rather the result of intensive filming during the hot summer and the demands of her role. Meanwhile, the drama's director also explained that Meng has maintained a high level of professionalism throughout the filming process in order to portray the character. (Photo Source: Setn)

Meng Ziyi's rep promises better security after trailer breach
1 Aug - Meng Ziyi's camp recently released a statement promising to better secure the actress' safety, following a netizen's post about breaching into her trailer. The issue sparked after a female netizen shared several photos of Ziyi's dog Chocolate on social media, revealing that she managed to enter the actress' trailer while visiting a filming set in May this year. When asked how she was able to do so, she responded, "My friend knows someone in the crew." This issue sparked backlash among fans, not only towards the netizen for violating the actress' privacy, but to the production team and her own management for the serious security breach. In response, her agent released a statement on 30 July, saying, "Protecting Ziyi's safety and privacy is always the team's top priority. Going forward, we will continue to upgrade preventative measures, remain vigilant, and resolutely safeguard Ziyi's safety. I'm sorry for causing disappointment and worry to everyone, and I sincerely apologise again." (Photo Source: Meng Ziyi IG)

Zhao Lusi rumoured to have ended contract with agency
10 Jul - Rumours are rife that Zhao Lusi has terminated the contract with her management, Galaxy Cool Entertainment (aka Yinhekuyu Media). Speculations of her departure sparked after netizens noticed that the actress has dropped the company name from her Xiaohongshu account. At the same time, some noted that she once liked a post on Xiaohongshu questioning the company's alleged favouritism towards their other star Meng Ziyi, when they spent a huge sum of money to publicise the actress' new drama, "The Princess's Gambit", but did not do the same for her series like "Hidden Love" and "Love Like the Galaxy". It is noted that Zhao was hospitalised in late December following a health situation, after which she revealed that she was battling with depression and other ailments caused by her "bad relationship with her boss". However, her agency dismissed the allegations, saying that there were "disagreements on work plans" between them and warned the public to not spread false allegations. On the other hand, when asked about the recent situation, Galaxy Cool responded briefly on the matter, saying, "We have not terminated the contract. Thank you."

Meng Ziyi was once rejected for being too pretty?
4 Jul – Meng Ziyi recently sparked mixed reactions when she revealed that she had a hard time getting jobs in the early days of her career because she was "too beautiful". The actress, known for dramas like "The Legend of Condor Heroes" and "The Untamed", recently sat down for an interview, where she revealed that she was rejected for a project in the early years because her beauty does not suit the role. Admitting that it stunned her, Meng said, "if you say that my acting is not good enough or that I am not known enough, that I can admit. But you said that I am too pretty to act?" Meng said that the comment made her feel uneasy to this day, and that beauty should not be a sin. "You can say that I am not suited for the role or that you think I can't handle it at this stage or that you want a more famous actress. But when you tell me that I can't do it because I am too pretty, it creates a doubt in me, like, is there anything wrong with being beautiful?" she said. The interview had since sparked heated discussions among netizens, with one saying, "There are many beautiful actresses in the industry. Her appearance is not that outrageous, right?" Another posted, "Maybe her acting skill wasn't so good and that the crew was just trying to give her a way out." (Photo Source: Meng Ziyi IG)
