4 Sep – Amid allegations of tax evasion, Lareina Song (Song Zu'er) was revealed to have been removed from any mention by TV stations.
As reported on NetEase, on the evening of 31 August, major satellite TV platforms across China, including Zhejiang TV, Hunan TV, Jiangsu TV and Beijing TV, have begun deleting Lareina-related updates from their social media accounts.
Insiders claimed that they received a notice around 9 AM for any content that involves Lareina to be removed, further fuelling rumours that the tax evasion scandal was true.
