| Guo Junchen “Missing for 20 Days”? Here’s the Truth Behind the Social Media Buzz |
International social media started buzzing with claims that Chinese actor Guo Junchen had “gone missing” for over 20 days.
The posts, mostly on Facebook and TikTok, made dramatic suggestions like: “More than 20 days… and still no sign of Guo Junchen. His account’s still posting, but who’s behind it? Is he hiding, or being hidden?”
These wild speculations quickly caught attention among overseas fans, especially after the tragic case of Alan Yu Menglong, which left many netizens overly cautious about celebrity disappearances.
However, a quick fact check clears things up — there’s no evidence that Guo Junchen is missing at all.
The Facts: Guo Junchen Has Been Active and Present
According to reports from Tonboriday, these rumours haven’t actually spread within China.
On Weibo, Guo Junchen has been actively updating fans — including a photo post with co-star He Ruixian on November 5, promoting their new drama Sword and Beloved.
Just days before, on October 30, Guo Junchen joined He Ruixian for a cheerful livestream full of playful banter and behind-the-scenes talk.

The next day, he attended a fan meet and watch party alongside Cheng Yi, Li Yitong, and Chang Huasen, even performing a duet of the series’ theme song live on stage.
If he had truly been missing, such consistent appearances — both online and at public events — would’ve been impossible to fake.
Dozens of production staff, fans, and co-stars witnessed him in person, leaving no room for the disappearance theory to stand.
Why the Rumour Spread So Fast
Fans’ anxiety likely comes from the ongoing discussions surrounding Yu Menglong’s case, which sparked widespread paranoia and distrust of official silence.
In recent months, even unrelated celebrities like Yang Mi became the subject of baseless rumours after being linked to the situation.
Given this tense environment, it’s easy to see how any brief online inactivity from a public figure might spiral into exaggerated claims — especially when fuelled by clickbait posts and fan speculation.
Conclusion
To put it simply — Guo Junchen isn’t missing. He’s busy promoting Sword and Beloved and actively engaging with fans across social media.
While the internet’s rumour mill never rests, it’s important to remember that not every viral claim reflects reality.
Fans are encouraged to rely on official updates and verified media rather than anonymous posts.
Because in the world of online fandom, a single sentence can turn into a full-blown mystery overnight — even when the star in question is right there, smiling for the camera.
