Yan Jun unilaterally announced that he had severed his father-son relationship with Yan Haoxiang for 17 years, absent from his position, and the family relationship was completely broken down due to debt.

Jiuzhi Entertainment News (Editor 1326 XJ01) In May 2026, Yan Haoxiang, a member of the Times Youth League, had just completed a personal "Crown Ceremony" concert in Guangzhou, ushering in an important juncture in his 20 years of life. A sudden family accident pushed it to the forefront of public opinion-his biological father, Yan Jun, posted a thousand-word long article through his personal social account, unilaterally officially announcing the severance of father-son relationship with Yan Haoxiang, and at the same time announcing the dissolution of father-daughter relationship with his daughter. This family affair, which involved debt disputes and family conflicts, instantly ignited heated discussions on the Internet.
The beginning and end of the incident: A rupture statement was issued at a critical juncture in the concert, and the debt dilemma became the direct trigger
It is understood that Yan Jun's long article released this time is titled "A Failed Father", which sorts out his life ups and downs and his dissatisfaction with his children in a self-explanatory manner. The article mentioned that he had successful business in his early years and immigrated to Canada with his family in 2017. Later, many domestic investments exploded one after another. The debt crisis broke out in 2021. In 2022, he gave up his permanent residence in Canada and returned to China to deal with debt problems. In 2025, Yan Jun was listed by the court as a person subject to breach of trust due to a financial loan contract dispute. The total principal and interest of the arrears involved in the case totaled approximately 3.61 million yuan. During this period, he was also detained by judicial detention for refusing to perform his repayment obligations.
Changwen's core complaint was directed at Yan Haoxiang and his daughter, claiming that during the entire process of being detained and falling to the bottom of his life, the children "ignored" the entire process. There was neither a concerned phone call nor a greeting message, nor any financial assistance. Yan Jun bluntly said in the article that "money is the best touchstone of human nature", saying that he made the decision to sever the parent-child relationship because of his complete chill in blood and family ties, declaring that "from then on, I will no longer have the names of father and daughter with Yan Haoxiang and Yan Wei, and life, old age, illness and death are irrelevant."
It is noteworthy that the time when Yan Jun issued this statement coincided completely with the time when Yan Haoxiang was holding his concert in Guangzhou. The IP territory of his posting account was also consistent with the venue where the concert was held. The timing triggered the entire network to "deliberately use public opinion to pressure and coerce artists." At the end of the article, Yan Jun issued an old seaside photo of a family of four from his early years to prove his identity, but did not provide any relevant evidence to support his accusation.
Voices from many parties: The fact of 17 years of divorce was exposed, and the mother exposed the details of 3 million yuan in assistance
Twelve hours after the event fermentation, the event ushered in a critical reversal. Zhou Qiong, who claimed to be Yan Haoxiang's mother, released a response through private channels and took the lead in revealing the core background: she and Yan Jun had gone through divorce procedures as early as 2009. It has been seventeen years since then, and the two have already formed independent families without any economic connections.

In response, Zhou Qiong bluntly said that after Yan Jun divorced him, he lived overseas all year round and formed another family. He was absent from Yan Haoxiang's growth process and never fulfilled his legal parenting obligations. Yan Haoxiang was raised by him alone since he was a child. The father and son had little contact all year round, and the foundation of family love was extremely weak. She also accused Yan Jun of not forcibly implicating his children's personal debt conflicts and personal grudges after divorce, let alone pushing the artist's private life to the public eye by openly breaking away, causing irreversible physical and mental harm to his children.
Subsequently, Yan Haoxiang's brokerage company, Shifaifeng Jun, issued an official statement confirming the core fact that Yan Haoxiang's parents had been divorced for 17 years, clearly stating that Yan Haoxiang had continued to suffer from misunderstanding and unwarranted anger from his biological father recently, and he had suffered tremendous pressure physically and mentally after the incident. The company also calls on the public to respect the private lives and family privacy of artists, focus on artists 'works, and not to excessively ferment family disputes, engage in malicious speculation and online atrocities.
On May 3, Zhou Qiong issued a supplementary note again, revealing more unknown details: even though Yan Jun had been absent for many years and had not fulfilled his parental obligations, Yan Haoxiang still considered his blood relationship. After his debts broke out, despite his mother's opposition, he transferred a total of more than 3 million yuan to Yan Jun, and the funds were used to cover his daily expenses, debt turnover, and even the study abroad expenses of the daughter born to Yan Jun and his current wife. The core reason for Yan Jun's sudden attack this time was that he once again asked Yan Haoxiang for a huge sum of 10 million yuan to fill the debt hole and was rejected, so he chose to issue a break statement at a critical juncture in the concert. The essence was to treat his children as "unlimited cash machine"."Family kidnapping.
Public opinion controversy: Absence of family ties and boundaries of responsibility The whole network is hotly debated on the equivalence of blood ties and obligations
After the incident continued to ferment, the entire network launched a large-scale discussion around this rupture of family relations. The core controversy focused on "whether absent fatherly love has the right to demand unconditional maintenance and assistance."
Most netizens said that Yan Jun had been absent throughout the seventeen years when his children were growing up and failed to fulfill his responsibility of raising a father. After he fell into a debt crisis, he instead asked his children to cover the truth unconditionally. After being rejected, he openly broke away. Destroying the reputation of artists is essentially a "selfish family kidnapping." At the same time, many details in Yan Junwen were also questioned by netizens: the daughter's name "Yan Wei" mentioned in the article has long been confirmed to be a fictional nickname by fans. The biological father mistakenly remembered his daughter's real name, which also made the credibility of the entire statement greatly reduced; while accusing his children of "not giving a penny", he could not deny the fact that he received a transfer of more than 3 million yuan. The inconsistent statements also made it difficult for him to establish himself as a "victim".
Some people in the legal profession have also voiced their voices on this matter: my country's law does not recognize the legal effect of "unilaterally severing parent-child relations". The parent-child relationship of natural blood cannot be artificially terminated through a statement. Parents 'obligation to support minor children, There are clear legal provisions on the maintenance obligations of adult children to parents who are unable to work or have difficulties in life. But at the same time, the child's maintenance obligation does not unconditionally cover the parents 'personal debts such as gambling debts and investment losses.
Incident follow-up: There were no new responses from both parties and the artist's work schedule was not affected
As of May 6, 2026, Yan Jun has not made any substantive response to the details of the transfer exposed by Zhou Qiong and the many doubts raised by netizens. He only left a message in the comment area saying that "the relevant chat records will be disclosed at a later time to support his own statement.", there have been no updates since then.
Yan Haoxiang himself has never made any public response to this family incident. His personal social account still stays on concert-related promotional content, and the agency has not issued any new statements. According to the schedule announced by the studio, Yan Haoxiang's daily work, brand activities and variety recording are progressing normally and have not been significantly affected by the turmoil.
This family break triggered by debt not only tore through the complex dilemma of maintaining parent-child relationships in divorced families, but also once again triggered public discussions on the "boundaries of artists 'private lives." When pure blood ties are mixed with interest entanglements and public opinion, the judgment of right and wrong has long surpassed blood ties itself, leaving the public opinion field with long-term thinking about family ties, responsibilities and boundaries.
