Photos of what appears to be a topless man fast asleep were leaked today, February 13, by a paparazzo account who claims the man in question is Lighter and Princess star Arthur Chen Feiyu. The few photos paparazzo Super Photography Yang Yang (@超能摄影阳阳) shared online had close-ups of the man he claims is the 22-year-old actor whilst others appeared to be selfies taken by a woman in bed with him.
Chen Feiyu in Hot Water Over Paparazzo Allegations
Further revelations by the paparazzo say that the woman is an internet celebrity under the handle It’s Yilin Ah (是亦琳吖 lit.). He claims Arthur and the woman were spotted booking a room at a high end hotel in Changsha several times and that they started seeing each other in 2021. Creepy as I find someone taking a picture whilst he’s asleep, the more interesting question is how the paparazzo managed to get his hands on the photos. Some Netizens are of the mindset that it was probably leaked by the woman for fame. Others on the other hand believe it’s not even Arthur Chen on the photo.
However, the most explosive speculation is that the woman is Arthur’s fan who used to run his fansite previously and that she’s also married. The photos were allegedly sold by her husband! With rumours about an affair with a fan flying around, several hashtags about the actor trended including an old post from 2021 where his studio said he was single.
Both Parties Issue Statements
By 7pm on the same day, Chen Feiyu studio issued a statement from his agency TH Entertainment. They say that the photos spreading online are private and for Netizens to stop disseminating them. They also clarified that Chen Feiyu and a certain Ms. Hu were both single when they dated. The company and the studio also warned relevant parties to delete the defamatory remarks against Chen Feiyu.
Around the same time, Ms. Hu’s agency B.L.B. Entertainment (爆乐比文化) issued a similar statement to say that Chen Feiyu and Ms. Hu were single when they dated, that they parted amicably and that she got married the following year. The statement also asked for the dissemination of photos to stop and that they have reached out to their lawyers with regards to the untrue statements and slander.
Meanwhile, the paparazzo had previously declared that a second wave of exposé will be coming. Given the controversy, some wonder what will happen to Arthur’s upcoming projects like Immortality with Luo Yunxi and the romance film Yesterday Once More with Zhou Ye.

Who is this Miss Hu? I’m curious. lol I feel sad for these Chinese celebs, getting their privacy exposed like this. He’s an adult, he can be/sleep with anyone. The idea that dating amicably can be a scandal is beyond me. The one who needs to be investigated is the person uploading this. Arthur shouldn’t be cancelled for this.

Most certainly agree. The person who leaked or sold these pictures should be severely punished. The person who uploaded these should be punished. The woman should be punished too if she was complicit in this transaction. And I find totally disgusting that the woman would take sneak photographs of her lover. Pretty sure she took the pictures for future use.
And this Super Photography person Yang Yang ought to be prosecuted . That’s what he does for a living, preying on the private lives of celebrities.

@ Anon
yes. It’s disgusting that the woman did that. It sounded like to me that she is a terrible person & married a very bad person also.
wowo
He’s human too, and that sucks the woman’s husband leaked their pictures!!! Hope he gets punished!! But omg Immortality!!!!! We waited so long, hope this won’t affect it.

I did see this coming, especially after I have read so many rumors about how his mother would hired female staffs to satisfy his needs. Guess she overlooked that he would rather slept with one of his fans instead. Hopefully he would not be banned for this incident. Both of them were still single when that happened after all. And why should he be banned when a certain divorced actor is still out there, even though he cheated on and physicially abused his ex during the marriage (as well as letting his mistress drove his ex to commit suicide).
HL
His mum did that?? Sound like ancient times… How do you know? just curious.

Hmm…….That is wild if his mother did that, horrible mother!!! Divorced actor who???!!!

Sleeping with their own staffs is a norm. What is so surprising or horrible about that? Better than sleeping with prostitutes or fans, both of which have proven not being able to keep such things confidential. Otherwise, why would someone like Hu Ge got married to his own (ex) agent? Love? No way.
The divorced actor is none other than Huang Jingyu of course.

Wow! These little dirty secrets from the entertainment industry. I can’t stand that guy Huang Jingyu. I heard similar story about him before. Hopefully karma will catch up with him someday.
anon
Huang Jingyu has strong backer(s), nothing will happen to him unfortunately (he even won the court case vs his ex-wife). But hopefully it will catch to him someday. It’s unfair that he got away unscathed while Chen Feiyu got (soft)ban.

Generally, Chinese celebrities on the rise are involved in ridiculous controversies. They exist to prove that there are people who cannot stand the success of others.
