The identities of the two women who were arrested with Taiwanese actor Kai Ko and Jaycee Chan, the only son of Hong Kong actor Jackie Chan, during a drug bust in Beijing have been revealed.
The
two women, Chinese actress under Emperor Group’s management Alice Li,
and Joyce Chang, former Chinese member of Korean group RaNia, were in
Jaycee’s house before being arrested at a foot reflexology centre.
Alice had acted in Chinese movie But Always,
which also stars Nicholas Tse and Gao Yuanyuan and has yet to open in
cinemas. Sponsors are worried that the drug scandal will cause her to be
banned from the Chinese media industry like Jaycee and Kai.
Both
Alice and Joyce were said to have pleaded with authorities for leniency
and hoped their identities and actions will not be exposed.
In
addition, Jaycee has reportedly been fined NT$25million (approximately
S$1.06million) by the production unit of Chinese variety show 2 Days & 1 Night for missing a recording session last Monday after he was arrested.
Jaycee’s
management agency M’Stones International had already requested to stop
collaborating with the production unit after the arrest and refunded the
NT$7.4 million (approximately S$310,000) deposit. However, they asked
for further compensation for “being unable to fulfil contractual terms”.
Jaycee’s
manager responded and said all sponsors and production units have been
informed of the 31-year-old’s arrest and M’Stones International will
settle all financial matters as Jaycee was the one at fault.
