Chinese showbiz has entered the new year in utter disarray, following a cascade of explosive private-life allegations ignited by influencer Iamroosie, whose real name is Si Xiaodi. After publicly claiming she had romantic relationships with 15 top-tier male celebrities, the controversy has continued to spiral—this time dragging actress and idol Ju Jingyi and singer Justin Huang Minghao into the spotlight.
The storm began when Si Xiaodi alleged that multiple A-list male stars were once romantically involved with her, even sharing what she claimed were intimate photos with Lu Han on social media. The revelations quickly went viral, plunging C-Biz into widespread speculation and heated online debate.
Just as the industry was still reeling, another shock followed. Prominent paparazzo Yang Yang claimed that Ju Jingyi (born 1994) and Justin Huang Minghao (born 2002) had previously dated. The most controversial aspect of the allegation is that Huang was reportedly underage at the time of the alleged relationship.
According to the claims, while Ju Jingyi was busy filming in Hengdian, Huang Minghao allegedly helped prepare her birthday celebration. The rumor immediately triggered backlash on Chinese social media, where many netizens criticized Ju Jingyi for allegedly dating a minor. The controversy rapidly escalated, with calls for clarification and accountability dominating online discussions.
Both Ju Jingyi and Justin Huang later denied the dating rumors, attempting to quell the growing outrage. However, the situation failed to cool down. Soon after, Huang Minghao was again pulled into controversy when online users alleged that he, too, had connections with Si Xiaodi.
Chinese media further reported that a group of idols—including Huang Minghao, Li Wenhan, and Fan Chengcheng—were once frequent visitors of several Beijing bars, where they were allegedly introduced to young models and aspiring actresses. As their popularity grew, the gatherings reportedly moved to private residences to avoid paparazzi attention. Fan Chengcheng was even rumored to have requested a non-disclosure agreement early in his career to prevent details of his private social life from leaking—claims that have not been officially confirmed.
Meanwhile, Ju Jingyi finds herself under mounting pressure. She debuted in 2013 and rose to fame as a core member of SNH48. Over the years, she has addressed controversy surrounding her title, explaining that it stemmed from a mistranslation and excessive media amplification rather than her own promotion.
“I never knew when this title appeared. A Japanese article once described me as an idol you see once in 4,000 years, but later it was exaggerated into ‘the most beautiful in 4,000 years,’” Ju Jingyi previously explained.
Compounding her troubles, Ju Jingyi is still embroiled in an ongoing legal dispute with her former agency, Siba Media. She has accused the company of forcing her into “dual contracts,” concealing income, forging her signature, and extending her contract until 2033 without consent. Siba Media has firmly denied the allegations, accusing Ju Jingyi of spreading false information to damage the company’s reputation.
Justin Huang, who debuted through Idol Producer in 2018 as a member of NINE PERCENT, has also faced past scrutiny due to his family’s financial controversies. His mother was previously reported to be involved in multiple debt-related lawsuits totaling nearly USD 3 million.
As rumors, denials, and resurfaced allegations continue to collide, C-Biz remains in a state of turbulence. While none of the recent claims have been legally substantiated, the ongoing scandal highlights how fragile celebrity reputations can be in China’s hyper-surveilled entertainment industry—especially when private lives become public spectacle overnight.
