CKG48’s Liu YingYing Faces Dating Scandal—Graduation Rumours Rise

The Chinese idol scene has been shaken once again, this time with CKG48’s Liu YingYing caught in a dating scandal.
Reports surfaced online claiming that the idol has been in a relationship with a non-celebrity boyfriend, sparking outrage among fans and leading to speculation about her possible graduation from the group.
As a member of CKG48, a unit under STAR48, Liu YingYing is expected to follow the group’s strict love-ban rule.
This policy, common among idol groups in China and Japan, prohibits members from dating, as agencies believe idols should be fully dedicated to their fans and careers.
However, with this recent controversy, fans are now demanding that management take action and reconsider how such rules should be enforced.
Fans React: Should the Love-Ban Rule Still Exist?
Reactions to the scandal have been mixed. Some fans feel betrayed, believing that idols should remain single and focused on their performances. In China, many idol fans expect their favourite stars to prioritise their careers over personal relationships.
A common belief is that if an idol is distracted by a relationship, their performance quality may drop, leading to disappointment for paying audiences.
One fan commented, “If idols are allowed to date, what happens when they have a fight with their boyfriend? Will they still be able to perform well on stage?”
Another said, “We support idols by buying their merchandise, concert tickets, and memberships. If they can’t follow the rules, they shouldn’t be in the group.”
On the other hand, some fans believe the love-ban rule is outdated and unfair. They argue that idols are also human and deserve to experience relationships just like everyone else. Some even called for STAR48 to review its policies, suggesting that instead of strict bans, the agency should consider a more flexible approach.
Will Liu YingYing Be Forced to Graduate?
The biggest question now is whether Liu YingYing will remain in CKG48. In past cases, idols who were caught breaking the love-ban rule often faced disciplinary action, ranging from public apologies to sudden graduations.
So far, neither Liu YingYing nor CKG48’s management has made an official statement about the allegations. However, graduation rumours have already started circulating. If the agency decides to enforce its rules strictly, she may be asked to leave the group quietly, as has happened with other idols before her.
A Turning Point for CKG48?
This scandal could be a defining moment for CKG48 and STAR48. With growing discussions about whether the love-ban rule is still relevant in today’s idol industry, the agency now faces pressure to either take a strong stance or reconsider its policies.
For now, fans will have to wait and see how CKG48’s management responds to the controversy. Will Liu YingYing be forgiven, punished, or forced to leave? Whatever happens next, this scandal has reignited an ongoing debate in the C-Pop idol world.
