Wang Leehom & Show Luo Reportedly Removed From List Of Blacklisted Celebs In China

According to these netizens, Leehom and Show didn’t break the law with their ‘offences’, since adultery and cheating aren't exactly illegal.

On the other hand, Kris is accused of rape, which is a very serious crime. And while Yundi’s charge of soliciting a prostitute seems mild compared to the other offences, it is still an illegal act in China.

Others pointed out that Leehom’s songs are still available on the Chinese internet, and have not been taken down, unlike Kris'.

Previously, the spokesman for China’s Taiwan Affairs Office also issued a statement addressing Leehom’s controversy, hinting that the singer isn’t blacklisted.

“As for the personal issues and situations of an individual, we hope that the celebs who come to China to further their careers can achieve excellence in both arts and their morals. This means that we place great emphasis on public morality, and not statements regarding other issues that are put out on social media,” the spokesman said.

Additionally, the China Performance Industry Association, which previously released statements announcing the blacklist of certain celebs who had run afoul of the law, has named Chinese actress Zheng Shuang, 30, and Kris as some of the artists to avoid.
