On the 25th, “Zhang Xiao Han, the girl here for the gossip,” began to expose a male entertainer via the social network site Weibo. They claimed that a celebrity publicly dating someone had an “unclean private life,” suggesting he is a cheater.
Gossip about a top male celebrity: he has a partner, but his private life is a mess. I heard things about him before, but there was no evidence then. I’ve got them now – they’re very complete and interesting. It’s so bad that it could trend for 3 days. P.S. It’s very important to watch who you become friends with.

Luhan debuted with EXO in 2012 and promoted with the group until 2014, when he filed a lawsuit against SM Entertainment to terminate his contract. Since then, he has become one of the most popular soloists in China. Guan Xiaotong debuted in 2003 as a child actress. However, her role in the 2016 drama To Be A Better Man launched her to stardom.
