The entertainment world is in mourning after the sudden and tragic death of Chinese actor and singer Yu Menglong, who was found dead on September 11 at the age of 37. The star's untimely passing has left fans across Asia reeling, with thousands taking to social media to express their grief and shock.
Yu, born in 1988 in China's Midong District, rose to fame after starring in the hit Netflix show 'Eternal Love' in 2017. But what many of his devoted followers may not know is that Yu had been building a massive fanbase since 2010 when he first appeared on the televised talent show 'Super Boy'. He returned to the competition in 2013, winning the Beijing division and placing in the top 10 - a feat that showcased his incredible vocal talents.
But it was his portrayal of the charming and brooding 9th prince in the Chinese historical web drama 'Go Princess Go' that really launched his career. Released in 2011, the show became an instant hit, cementing Yu's status as one of China's most promising young actors. His subsequent release of the debut single 'Just Nice' in 2013 marked the beginning of a successful music career.
Yu's rise to fame was nothing short of meteoric. He released his first album 'Toy' in 2015, which earned him widespread critical acclaim and further solidified his position as one of China's leading heartthrobs. But it was his role as Bai Zhen in the Netflix hit series 'Eternal Love' that catapulted him to global stardom.
The show's massive success - with over 50 billion views within just 18 months - made Yu a household name, not just in China but around the world. His portrayal of the enigmatic and tortured love interest was nothing short of captivating, earning him millions of adoring fans worldwide.
But behind the glamour and glitz of show business, tragedy has struck. According to sources close to the actor, Yu's final hours were spent with a group of friends at an apartment in Beijing. The paparazzi reports that the 37-year-old locked himself away in a guestroom around 2am, leaving his companions to wonder what had become of him.
It wasn't until 6am when Yu's body was discovered on the ground floor by police who were called after a resident reported seeing something suspicious while walking their dog. The authorities have since confirmed that there is no evidence of foul play and are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding his death.
As fans around the world struggle to come to terms with the loss of this talented young star, they are left with more questions than answers about what really happened in those final, fateful hours. Was it an accident? A tragic mistake? Or something more sinister?
