According to the business directory, the company “Sichuan Jingyu Culture Media Co., Ltd” had been registered in the name of Tony Yu Jingtian’s parents.

Lastly, netizens also exposed the property of Tony Yu Jingtian’s family in Vancouver, Canda. Their home looked like a single-family villa with a luxuriously decorated exterior. His family also owned a Porsche Cayenne and Aston Martin sports car, emblematic of their wealth.

Her full statement is as follows:

Hello everyone, I am Li Qin, Tony Yu Jingtian ‘s mother.

After seeing some remarks about Tony Yu Jingtian’s father and I on the Internet this morning related to the company’s operational problems, as well as the slander and malicious comments directed at Yu Jingtian , we were shocked!
As a mother and a business owner, because of the lack of rigour in carrying out our business venture, a series of controversy has erupted. This has brought about some negative consequences to our children, and I feel sad. At the same time, we have the need and responsibility to explain the relevant situation to everyone:

Jingli KTV was jointly operated by Wan Keyong, myself and Yu Jingtian’s father Yu Ping in 2005 . In 2008, together with Tony Yu’s dad, we brought Tony Yu and his brother to Vancouver, Canada to study and live abroad. Before that, we have already transferred all our stakes in Jing Li KTV to Wan Keyong. Ever since then, we no took part in the Jingli KTV Business.

However, we signed the transfer agreement hastily in 2018 when we transferred out  our stakes in Jingli KTV. Thus, we did not register the changes with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Only after returning to China in 2019, did we go through the relevant procedures one after another.

We never expected that the negligence of Tony’s father and my business venture from so many years ago would cause such great trouble and harm to friends who care about and love Tony Yu Jingtian. Here, Tony Yu’s father and I sincerely apologize to everyone!

In addition, in response to the large amounts of false information and rumours about me and Tony Yu Jingtian’s father engaging in “sex-related” and “drug-related” activities which has circulated on the Internet, we have entrusted our lawyer to handle the relevant legal issues. We are willing to actively cooperate with all relevant parties to investigate and shed light on the truth!

For now, until the investigation is complete, Tony Yu’s parents and his label hopes that netizens can refrain from spreading false rumours online. A legal team has also been announced to assist Tony Yu’s parents in setting straight the truth of the matter.
