Overseasidol.com — On July 24, rising star Zi Yu released a new statement addressing the ongoing dating controversy.
He responded specifically to the leaked chat messages shared by his ex-girlfriend, where he was quoted as saying, “I just need to make enough money in these two months to pay off 600,000 yuan,”.
In his post, Zi Yu explained that his words were a result of life pressures and his personal outlook on challenges.
“Paying off my debts has been my biggest wish. Due to my personal growth and the way I see life’s ups and downs, I tend to keep low expectations.
That’s why I made such irresponsible remarks. I apologize for making everyone feel disappointed,” he wrote.
Zi Yu also clarified that his past relationship was a normal romance, and he is now single.
“Once again, I sincerely apologize to everyone. I’m truly sorry,” he added.
Shortly after Ziyu’s statement, his manager also released a note via social media, emphasizing that Zi Yu is currently single, has never cheated, and is not romantically involved with any team member.
The manager further clarified that the staff member involved in the online rumors only joined the team in late June, dismissing the speculation.
“We hope the artist’s personal matters will not continue to be sensationalized online.
Our focus now is to complete confirmed projects and actively secure new opportunities,” the manager stated.
The controversy began when a woman named Paris Lilii claimed to be Zi Yu’s girlfriend and accused him of emotional manipulation and disappearing without explanation.
The issue continues to trend across social media as fans await further clarification from Zi Y or his agency.
