Fans of the female idol were disappointed to see Shuhua being friends with Kai Ko. That is due to the actor's scandalous career.
In 2014, Kai Ko was arrested for drug use alongside Jaycee Chan, the song of Hong Kong film star Jackie Chan. He was apprehended by Beijing Police amid a massive anti-drug crackdown on Chinese celebrities.
