On February 13, multiple Chinese news outlets reported that Yuehua Entertainment's Chinese trainee Huang Zhibo was caught attempting to sell medical masks online.
He reportedly received deposit in advance from his buyers, and did not show up to the promised meeting place to deliver his products―in light of the COVID-19 outbreak.
What made his fans gasp in shock was the fact that Huang Zhibo posted a photo of him with his handwritten note to show his support for the country fighting against the epidemic, just a day before getting arrested.
The agency said, "We are cooperating with the police investigation. We have terminated his trainee contract, and we apologize for the negative impact this incident may bring."
According to fans, he was also formerly a trainee under Big Hit Entertainment and CUBE Entertainment before joining Yuehua Entertainment in 2019.
