Now, Song Yiren (also known as Ireine Song) is reportedly experiencing industry backlash because of these rumors. The actress, best known for her role in the historical fantasy C-Drama Ever Night (2018), stars in a new costume drama, Unmet Clouds, Unmet You, that was taken offline just two days after it premiered, due to netizens mass reporting it online.

According to the latest reports, Song’s name has also been removed from Douban, China’s largest entertainment database. This has led to speculation that she has been marked as “high-risk” within the industry, which can be the case when a star’s name is no longer listed in the database.
