Overseasidol.com — Actor Xu Kai has faced a series of explosive accusations over the past month, including infidelity, domestic violence, and alleged involvement in illegal gambling.
His reputation took a sharp hit, and many expected him to remain off-screen until the investigations concluded.
However, Xu Kai has now returned to work, joining the cast of Legend of Tiandu (formerly titled Order of the Wind), a drama produced by Mango TV.
Reports say filming is scheduled to last four months. Earlier rumors claimed he had been removed from the project, but his confirmed participation suggests otherwise.
Behind-the-scenes photos revealed Xu Kai dressed in black, with a cap pulled low and a large mask covering his face.
Despite the controversies, he was greeted by large groups of enthusiastic fans who cheered for him and wished him success.
His return sparked mixed reactions. Supporters flooded social media with positive comments, encouraging him to focus on work.
Critics, however, questioned why he was allowed to resume acting before any official clarification of the allegations.
Xu Kai’s agency previously released a lawyer’s statement denying claims of gambling and other misconduct.
Still, without an official investigation result, doubts remain. Observers worry the unresolved controversy may shadow his career and even impact the drama’s broadcast.
