Truong Nghe Hung "EXO's Lay": Scandal when accused of "hunting girls", CEO of an entertainment company at the age of 30

Zhang Yixing was rumored to have a habit of "recruiting concubines", but the singer quickly denied it and threatened to sue the spreader. The online community said that Truong Nghe Hung's scandal broke out to "stamp" the scandal of his colleagues.

5 years after returning to his hometown for personal activities, Lay (real name: Truong Nghe Hung) did not participate in any of EXO's music promotion activities. However, the Chinese singer has never announced his departure from the group. Recently, he even appeared in a new music video to celebrate EXO's debut by... jigsaw.

Fans have mixed opinions about how to maintain Truong Nghe Hung's name. Some people support his retention of the title "EXO member", another opinion is that he should separate the group to wholeheartedly pursue his personal career.

The above opinion is not absurd, because among young artists in China today, Zhang Yixing is one of the stars with the most stable career. In 2017, he ranked 20th on Forbes' list of 100 Chinese celebrities At the age of 29, the singer founded his own entertainment company with the aspiration of fostering the most talented artists in China.

Truong Nghe Hung is one of the young artists with the most stable career in Chinese showbiz today.

In 2015, Truong Nghe Hung was the first artist allowed by SM Entertainment to set up a personal studio – a small management agency, serving only one artist. This is also the beginning of his own music production and career in China. To persuade the company to agree to the proposal to pursue the domestic market, Lay submitted SM a 10-sided blueprint.

Also in 2015, Truong Nghe Hung released his autobiography Standing Firm at the Age of 24. Standing Firm at the age of 24 tells the story behind his journey to glory. The book won "Best Crossover Book Of The Year" – an award given to books by amateur authors.

Returning home to operate, Truong Nghe Hung determined that the focus of his career is the field of music. In 2016, Lay Lose Control's first solo album was released. The title track of the same name "Lose Control" held the number one spot on Billboard's China V Chart for 6 consecutive weeks. The song also peaked at number 4 on the Billboard US World Albums chart.

With more than 200,000 pre-orders and over 500,000 copies sold, the singer surnamed Zhang broke many records of Korean solo artists in terms of first-day album sales (as of 2016). His album also reached number one on the Gaon Chart's album chart.

Besides his musical activities, like many other Chinese-language singers, Truong Yixing also tried his hand at the film industry. Typical works, highly appreciated for his expertise can be mentioned as Lao Jiumen, Golden Bronze, The Island, Dai Ming Huang Fei... In particular, his performance in the film The Island won him the Best Supporting Actor award of the Peak Flower Awards.

After 5 years of hard work and leaving his mark in many fields, Truong Nghe Hung has taken a new step in his career, from the initial small personal studio, to establishing a new entertainment company. On October 7, 2020, the star born in 1991 founded Chromosome Entertainment Group, becoming the boss. Chromosomes focus on finding new talent and nurturing them into well-rounded artists. The only requirement Truong Nghe Hung has for trainees is that after the training process, they must be trained by him in terms of artistic skills.

In May 2021, Sina reported that Truong Nghe Hung's profile (stage name Lay) disappeared from SM Entertainment's homepage. The singer was removed from the official membership list of EXO. According to SM Entertainment's homepage, EXO's lineup is down to 8 members.

The move comes after the 1991-born star refused to renew his contract with SM Entertainment. The Honey hitmaker announced his departure from the agency in early April after 10 years of partnership. However, he is still active as an EXO member. Therefore, SM Entertainment's exclusion of Zhang Yixing's name from the group caused discussion.

Media reports have suspected that the singer is no longer connected to SM Entertainment, as well as EXO, but has not announced it. Compared to SNSD, in case the artist leaves the company but has not left the group, the list of members on SM Entertainment's homepage still displays all 8 names.

Zhang Yixing was excluded from EXO's squad.

In addition to his successful career from music to movies, Truong Nghe Hung was rumored to have a habit of "recruiting phi", but the singer quickly denied it and threatened to sue the spreader. The online community said that Truong Yixing's scandal broke out to 'stamp out' Wang Luc Hoang's scandal.

Zhang Yixing was suddenly involved in baseless rumors in the midst of Wang Luc Heng's "exploitation" of his private life.

Specifically, Chinese fashion blogger Xu Fengli accused a male artist of having a habit of "recruiting", selecting and soliciting young girls to "touch the body". Xu Fengli did not directly say the name of the main character that he "peeled". Instead, Xu Fengli gave many implicit hints identifying this person as Zhang Yixing.

At the same time, in the post, Xu Fengli also implied that Zhang Yixing worked irresponsibly, suffered from star disease, and played badly on his former teammate in the band... Xu Fengli's comment caused a stir. Even, many people speculate that Truong Nghe Hung may "follow" former EXO member Ngo Diec Fan, ruining his career because of "hunting girls".

Soon after, Truong Nghe Hung's side posted an article denying the "recruitment" and affirming that all were baseless rumors. The representative of the movie star Lao Jiumen asked Xu Fengli to provide evidence, otherwise, the singer would resort to the law to protect his rights as well as make this fashion blogger pay a huge amount of compensation.

In the early morning of 20.12, Xu Fengli quickly updated his apology to Zhang Yixing and asked for forgiveness. The fashion blogger explained that because of some friction in the past, she posted inauthentically while not sober. As of the afternoon of 20.12, Truong Nghe Hung's side did not give any further feedback.

On Weibo, many of Zhang Yixing's comments broke out at this time, most likely to "distract" the public. Most netizens believe that Zhang Yixing inadvertently became a "tool" to divert people's attention from Wang Luc Hoang's divorce-adultery scandal.

In particular, Wang's ex-wife Li Jinglei also hinted that her ex-husband was willing to destroy other people's reputations in order to shift the focus of public opinion away from himself. Li Jinglei's comments further raised the suspicion that Wang Yuheng had used his junior Zhang Yixing as a "shield" to suppress his scandal.

Netizens believe that Zhang Yixing's scandal (left) broke out to draw public attention away from Wang Luc Hoang's scandal.
