The cloud of mystery surrounding actor Alan Yu Menglong’s tragic death continues to thicken, with fresh claims now stirring the Chinese entertainment world.
Rumours online allege that several senior executives from Tianyu Media, the agency managing Yu Menglong since his early career, have fled overseas following a massive backlash and a dramatic stock plunge of its parent company, Mango Super Media.

| Mystery Deepens as Tianyu Media Faces Backlash Following Yu Menglong’s Death |
Yu Menglong — known to millions for his gentle yet magnetic roles in Eternal Love and The Starry Night, The Starry Sea — died on 11 September after reportedly falling from a building.
While police concluded it was an accidental fall under the influence of alcohol, many fans aren’t buying it.
The internet has since been flooded with speculation, deep-dives, and fan-driven investigations.
The Agency Under Fire
Tianyu Media, once hailed for discovering and grooming some of the most popular C-stars, is now facing an unprecedented PR storm.
Online sleuths have started pulling up old records, noting that multiple former artists under the agency had also met untimely deaths over the past two decades — though no evidence ties these incidents together.
Adding fuel to the fire, a theory has emerged that Tianyu had been rebranding itself as “Tianyu Digital Technology” shortly before and after the scandal broke, supposedly to escape public scrutiny.
The company, however, has stayed completely silent, refusing to comment on the name change or any of the swirling rumours.
The “Hidden Rules” Allegation
What keeps fans even more on edge are old posts claiming Yu Menglong had been “frozen” by his company for nearly three years after allegedly rejecting certain unspoken industry “rules”.
Those posts have never been verified, but they continue to spread as fans try to piece together the events leading up to his death.
Cryptic Signs and Online Panic
Social media users have even pointed to eerie coincidences — such as an old black-and-white promotional shot of Yu Menglong and a supposed “prophetic” message from 2021 that hinted at misfortune.
None of these claims have been confirmed or traced to original sources, yet the mystery narrative grows with every repost.
The Push for Justice
Amid all the noise, fans are uniting. A petition titled “Justice for Yu Menglong” has gathered over 620,000 signatures, demanding a transparent and independent inquiry.
Despite official findings ruling out foul play, the silence from both authorities and Tianyu Media continues to feed public scepticism.
At this point, Alan Yu’s death has become more than a personal tragedy — it’s a mirror reflecting the fragile trust between the public and China’s entertainment industry.
The lack of clarity, coupled with corporate silence, has left many wondering how many secrets the industry still keeps behind the spotlight.
For now, the truth remains buried under layers of rumour and speculation — but one thing’s for sure: the conversation around Yu Menglong’s case isn’t dying down anytime soon.
