The incident attracted public attention when economic reporter Li Wei Ao of The Economic Observer posted information that former table tennis player Zhang Jike had a gambling debt of up to 5 million yuan (727,000 USD) on March 31. When he could not pay, he used 3 videos and 1 private photo of Jing Tian - Zhang Jike's girlfriend at that time - to assign to the creditor, abbreviated as S.
The table tennis star only managed to scrape together 1 million yuan ($145,000) and tried to escape the debt. Unable to find Zhang, S contacted Jing Tian and asked her to pay the remaining debt on her boyfriend's behalf. S used the nude videos and images he had in his possession to threaten the actress.
On April 1, reporters revealed that actor Si Teng filed a police report on the grounds of blackmail. S was arrested in February 2020 and sentenced to 7 years in prison, with an additional 50,000 yuan in court fees.
A series of news about Truong Ke Khoa's gambling addiction and his bad reputation as a playboy since his teenage years were "dug up" again.
According to Ly Vi Ngao, the incident involving Truong Ke Khoa is a criminal case, not a trivial matter. In response to these accusations, both the athlete and his representative denied them, but the reporter said that he had sufficient evidence of Truong Ke Khoa's illegal actions. The loan papers with Truong's fingerprints and signatures were also made public by Ly Vi Ngao.
Zhang Jike's office issued a written statement, denying the rumor as soon as Li Wei'ao posted the article. The table tennis star's side said the news affected the company's reputation and issued a warning, and is currently collecting evidence to protect Zhang Jike's rights.
When Sohu contacted, the 1988-born table tennis star answered the phone and denied the incident, but when asked for details, he immediately hung up.
A day later, reporter Ly Vi Ngao apologized to Canh Diem for the incident affecting the actress, causing her to be attacked.
The incident heated up when on April 3, a series of brands terminated advertising contracts with Truong Ke Khoa, including a brand that had been with him for 10 years. The male star's lawyer said they were discussing with the relevant parties, but did not express their opinion at the moment because Truong Ke Khoa "did not want to be at the top of the storm".
On the same day, the People's Daily reported that the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission of China issued a document requesting the authorities to clarify the incident, clarifying three points: Did anyone break the law or commit a crime? Who spread the rumors? Did anyone take advantage of the situation?
On April 4, a member of the Chinese Table Tennis Association confirmed to Dawan News that Zhang Jike had retired. A person from the Shandong Provincial Table Tennis and Badminton Sports Management Center said that Zhang Jike had not practiced or participated in any activities for many years.
Previously, Truong did not officially announce his retirement. Since 2016, he has mainly entered showbiz, participating in variety shows. His individual competition points on the international rankings have been erased due to a long period of inactivity.
According to Chinese media, Jing Tian is the victim of the incident, whether the information is true or not. The name of the actress born in 1988 is associated with sensitive words, many people search for videos, hot photos of Jing Tian, even edit her images to sell for the purpose of attracting views and making money.
Until now, Canh Diem has remained silent about the incident despite receiving a lot of criticism.
Zhang Jike and Jing Tian are the same age. They developed a romantic relationship in 2018 and broke up after a year of dating, without specifying the reason for their "going their separate ways".
Truong Ke Khoa won the 2012 London Olympics men's singles table tennis championship and is the fastest player in history to win a Grand Slam, in just 445 days.
Jing Tian is an A-list star of Chinese showbiz, affectionately called “Beijing’s number one beauty” by the audience. The actress has starred in many Hollywood projects such as The Great Wall, Kong Skull Island, Pacific Rim:9 Uprising… with 17 years of working in the industry.
