Actually, it's their profession, and they signed contracts about that. They shouldn’t date anyone. Also, it's not just about co-actors — it's that they might not be straight. It's not confirmed, but maybe their friendship was more than just friendship. That’s why they had to face all those things. In those countries, fans can be really toxic. And sadly, we can’t do anything because we’re just international fans. We can only watch everything with tears… because in the end, they only listen to their own people.

Yes, you know, it’s not just about shipping. People shipped them because they genuinely seemed to have feelings for each other. And after the 227 incident, everything broke down between them. But what can we do? Maybe they can't even meet in real life anymore. We just have to hold on to hope — that’s all we can do. And yes, maybe they had feelings for each other that were more than just friendship. That’s probably why the government took action too, because in China, gay culture is still not widely accepted. Also, I think Wang distanced himself from Zhan because he didn’t want to hurt him any further.

It's not only in China — it's the same all over the world. Especially in South Korea, Thailand, Japan, and China, because celebrities often don't have permission to date.

Hey! That’s a really good question, and many fans still wonder the same. Actually, the reason they can’t collaborate again is quite complex and emotional for a lot of us fans 😔
So after The Untamed aired, both Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo became super popular. People loved their chemistry so much that they started shipping them together in real life. The ship was called BoJunYiXiao. Fans created tons of fan art, videos, and fanfictions about them being a couple—not just in the drama, but in real life too.
At first, it seemed harmless. But over time, the shipping got very intense. Some fans crossed boundaries and even started fighting over who was “more real” or who loved whom more. This kind of obsessive shipping created huge fanwars and chaos online. It wasn’t healthy for the actors’ careers or mental health.
Then in 2020, there was the big AO3 scandal. A fan of Xiao Zhan reported a fanfiction that portrayed him in a way they didn’t like. Because of that report, China banned the whole AO3 site (a site where fans post stories), and people got really angry at Xiao Zhan—even though he didn’t personally do anything. He got hate, lost brand deals, and went through a rough time. 😢
After that, his agency became super strict about his public image. The government also started cracking down on BL content and shipping culture, saying it goes against traditional values. In China, when two male actors become too popular as a “couple,” they’re usually never allowed to work together again. It’s an unspoken rule to avoid more fan shipping, scandals, or government attention.
So it’s not because of personal issues between them—they’re fine. But because of extreme fan behavior and government/media control, they can’t collaborate anymore. It breaks our hearts because their bond was so special, but sadly, it’s how the system works 💔
