Zhang Yaodong’s Agency Cuts Ties After Scandal

Mediacorp’s talent management agency The Celebrity Agency distanced itself from Zhang in February 2025. The agency stated he was no longer an artiste under its management and that he has not participated in the filming of any new shows.

Zhang has kept a low profile and did not respond to media queries.

A member of the public posted about the sighting and wrote: “The food stall I eat at every afternoon is actually opened by him. Because his employees resigned, I saw him coming to help.”

The poster noted that Zhang looked “better in person” and mentioned that he spoke politely.

They wrote: “In fact, it is a great virtue to admit one’s mistakes and correct them.”
