Esther Yu Shuxin Dragged Into “Unprofessional” Rumours, Double Track Livestreamer Apologises

"Double Track" Responds After Rumour Storm Hits Online (Weibo)

Another day, another online drama — only this time, it’s behind the camera. On 7 May, the team behind upcoming urban romance series Double Track finally broke their silence after the internet spiralled into gossip-fuelled chaos over claims that lead actress Yu Shuxin refused to get in the water during filming.

So, what actually happened? Let’s break it down.

It All Started With a Rogue Livestream

Turns out, a staff member from the Double Track crew went live on a social media platform and dropped some rather spicy (and unverified) claims — including that Yu Shuxin wasn’t too keen on filming a water scene. 

Naturally, the internet ran with it. 

Cue the viral hashtags and “unprofessional diva” chatter.

But just hours later, the production team clapped back hard. 

In a no-nonsense official statement, they said the livestream was completely unauthorised, had violated strict confidentiality rules, and was done entirely for personal clout. 

They confirmed the staffer had zero permission to share anything, let alone speculate on the cast's behaviour. 

Basically? He went rogue for views.

Statement in Four Acts (With Legal Threats)

Here’s the gist of the studio’s official four-point statement:

1. Breach of Confidentiality – The livestreamer acted alone without the production’s approval, violating work discipline. The team stressed that no one on set is allowed to share material or go live while filming. Legal action is on the table.

2. Defamation – The juicy bits of the livestream? Pure fiction, according to the team. The staff member admitted in a later handwritten apology that he didn’t even hear the actors properly — he just made things up to make his stream more entertaining. The studio says this not only hurt the show’s image but damaged Yu Shuxin’s reputation as well.

3. Fighting Malicious Rumours – Some online accounts picked up the gossip and twisted it even further, accusing Yu of being unprofessional. The crew said this had seriously harmed both her and the smooth running of production. Lawyers have been called.

4. A Sincere Apology (But Also, Zero Tolerance) – The studio did issue an apology — not for Yu, but for letting this circus happen at all. They stressed that the entire cast, including Yu Shuxin and co-star He Yu, have been professional and fully committed from day one. But as for anyone still trying to milk drama from this? Legal team’s on speed dial.

A Bit of Background – This Isn’t the First Time

This isn’t the first time Double Track has been caught in controversy. 

Back in December 2024, Yu Shuxin posted a cryptic message about “difficulties on the road to growth,” and fans speculated that she was being bullied on set. 

The studio responded swiftly, firing a staff member for leaking footage and firmly denying any bullying.

Then in March 2025, after wrapping filming in Thailand, Yu sparked yet more headlines when she playfully splashed water (or possibly milk tea?) on director Yu Zhongzhong at the wrap party. 

While some cried “disrespect!”, the director later cleared it up, saying it was all in good fun — and yes, it was just water.

About the Show

Double Track is based on the novel by Shi Jiuyuan and follows a pair of siblings separated by family tragedy who reunite and navigate a complicated emotional journey from familial love to romantic redemption. 

Yu Shuxin and He Yu lead the cast.

TL;DR:
No, Yu Shuxin isn’t refusing to do her job.
Yes, someone wanted clout and faked a story.
And yes, the studio’s coming down on them hard.
