Truong Nghe Hung (Lay) was guilty of the "royal court", was investigated for tax and sealed?

Cbiz "made waves" when a series of sources spread information that singer-rapper Truong Nghe Hung (Lay), a member of the EXO group, is said to be under tax investigation and faces the risk of being restricted from artistic activities within a year.

According to some Chinese news sites, if the sanction is applied, Zhang Yixing may be suspended from approving performance activities for a period of one year. That means that it will be difficult for the male artist to appear at TV shows, entertainment shows, big music nights or commercial events in the near future, at least until a new announcement from the cultural management agency.

Rumors stem from absences and a series of canceled schedules

Doubts began to emerge after an entertainment podcast revealed that there was recently a "top artist" who was suddenly canceled a series of important schedules. Activities mentioned include overseas events, Xuan Van programs of two major TV stations and many projects to promote tourism culture.

Immediately after this information was spread, netizens quickly traced the identity of the character in question. Many signs are said to coincide with Truong Nghe Hung's recent schedule, making the male singer the most suspected name.

Attention grew as a popular entertainment blogger continued to make shocking information. This person affirmed that Truong Nghe Hung's sanction in the industry is actually "no longer a secret", and said that many major TV stations and platforms have received related notices.

Reasons for the suspension of performances

According to this blogger, the sanctioned content is said to suspend the approval of all of Truong Nghe Hung's performances within a year. Affected activities include music festivals, commercial shows, and reality TV shows.

However, the source also emphasized that this is not a form of complete "blockade" but only banned from broadcasting for a certain time or in some specific fields (similar to the case of Thai Tu Khon). In this case, Truong Nghe Hung can still carry out some activities permitted by the above.

However, the blogger said that the impact of being restricted from performing is still very serious for the male singer's career. Not being able to appear at major events for a long time can cause a sharp decline in the artist's presence, and affect commercial contracts and music development plans.

The source also said that Truong Nghe Hung originally planned to release a new album on March 10 to attract the public's attention amid widespread negative rumors. However, this plan is said to have been suspended to wait for new developments in the case.

In addition to the story related to taxes, some sources in the entertainment world also mentioned the root cause of Truong Nghe Hung falling into the current situation. Accordingly, the male singer is said to have participated in an activity at a location considered "sensitive" but did not fully carry out the reporting procedures as prescribed. This is believed to have caused him to be urgently asked to return to China, and at the same time to cancel related activities. However, this information mainly comes from unverified sources and has not been confirmed by the authorities.

Truong Nghe Hung spoke up

In the face of a wave of rumors spreading more and more, Truong Nghe Hung's office quickly made an official statement. In the announcement, the male artist completely denied the information that he was "blocked" or banned from broadcasting on a large scale. The male singer's representative affirmed that Truong Nghe Hung always works in art with a serious attitude and respect for the profession.

The announcement also emphasized that so far, Truong Nghe Hung has never committed any violations of the law. The accusations that he is a "stained artist" or are being punished by the management agency are considered completely baseless by the singer's male side.

Truong Nghe Hung's representative said that the false information that is spreading shows signs of seriously infringing on the honor and legitimate rights of the male artist. At the same time, the company said that it would closely monitor the situation and did not rule out the possibility of taking legal measures to protect its interests.
