Drug scandal

On November 26, 2018, Chen was arrested by the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau for drug use and illegal possession of drugs.[8][9] Chen's brokerage company responded that it was a rumor and would hold the rumor-maker criminally liable.[10] But on November 28, the Sina Weibo account "Ping'an Shijingshan", the official Sina Weibo account of the Shijingshan branch of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, announced that two people had been arrested on November 26 for drug use and illegal possession of drugs in Beijing. It concealed their real names but disclosed their surnames as Chen and He. The one named Chen was said to be male, aged 43, a singer. In the afternoon, "Ping'an Beijing", the official Sina Weibo account of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, reposted the announcement from its Shijingshan branch, and commented, "Drugs make the 'Most Beautiful' wither" (Chinese: 情况通报：毒品让“最美”凋零). The "Most Beautiful" was the debut album released by the band "Yu Quan" in 1999. Later, the official Sina Weibo of People's Daily reposted the announcement from Shijingshan branch of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau and posted the photo of Chen Yufan. This confirms the fact that he took drugs. Chen's brokerage company subsequently issued an apology letter.[11][12][13]
