Ozone’s Huang Wen Ting Suspends Activities After Dating Scandal
Ozone member Huang Wen Ting has suspended most entertainment activities after a relationship controversy involving a woman who said she had dated him for four years. Huang publicly apologized and accepted responsibility for mishandling his private life. Sony Music Taiwan said he would step away from the promotion of Ozone’s “Self!shhh” while continuing only previously contracted obligations. The actress named in subsequent reports, Lin Ting Li, said through her agency that Huang had told her he was single.
What Happened to Huang Wen Ting?
The controversy surrounding Huang Wen Ting began after a woman posted online that she had been in a four-year relationship with him and accused him of crossing romantic boundaries with a fellow actress while he was working on a film. Early reports were based on the woman’s social-media account and included claims about the relationship and alleged interactions with another actress. At that stage, the identity of the people involved was being inferred from clues circulating online rather than established through an official announcement. Huang later issued his own handwritten statement, and that response is the clearest confirmation of his position on the matter.

Four-Year Relationship Comes to Light
In his September 14 statement, Huang Wen Ting apologized to the woman who had been with him for four years. He said that his immaturity had caused her harm and that he would not make excuses for his actions. He also acknowledged that he had not been honest with his company and fellow group members about his relationship status and had not handled his private life properly. Those comments are important because they come directly from Huang rather than from online speculation.
Actress Identified in the Reports
On September 16, Taiwanese entertainment reports identified actress Lin Ting Li as the actress connected to the controversy. Lin Ting Li’s agency then addressed the situation directly. According to the agency, she met Huang through work, developed mutual feelings through what it described as normal interactions, and understood Huang to be single at the time. The agency said that after Lin later learned the actual circumstances, she immediately stopped meeting him privately.
Huang Wen Ting Issues Public Apology
The public statement from Huang Wen Ting was posted on September 14 after several days of discussion surrounding the allegations. Rather than disputing the entire controversy, he apologized for hurting his longtime partner and for failing to properly communicate his relationship situation to his company, members and supporters. He said he would follow the company’s arrangements and suspend entertainment work other than commitments that had already been signed and had to be fulfilled.
What the Idol Admitted
Huang’s statement does not independently verify every detail contained in the original online accusations. What it does establish is that he acknowledged responsibility for hurting his four-year partner and said his handling of his private life was wrong. That distinction matters when reporting the story because some of the most specific details circulating online originated from third-party accounts rather than from an official statement by Huang himself.
Work Suspension and Existing Commitments
Huang announced that his suspension would begin immediately, except for previously contracted work that he was required to complete. Sony Music Taiwan subsequently confirmed that he would fully withdraw from promotion for Ozone’s “Self!shhh” and pause other entertainment activities beyond existing commitments. Sony Music’s official Ozone page continues to list “Self!shhh” among the group’s releases.
Sony Music Taiwan Responds
Sony Music Taiwan said Huang had been instructed to seriously reflect on the situation. The company’s response established that the activity suspension was not simply a personal announcement but was also being implemented in the management of his professional schedule. For fans following Ozone, the most immediate change concerns promotional activities connected with the group’s current release.
Self!shhh Promotion Changes
| Date | Confirmed development |
|---|---|
| September 14, 2026 | Huang Wen Ting issued a public apology and announced a suspension of most entertainment activities. |
| September 15, 2026 | Sony Music’s response and changes to his promotional activities were reported. |
| September 16, 2026 | Lin Ting Li’s agency publicly addressed her connection to the controversy. |
Lin Ting Li’s Agency Addresses the Claims
Lin Ting Li’s agency rejected the suggestion that she knowingly entered another person’s relationship. Its statement said Huang had told her that he was single and that Lin was herself single during their interactions. The agency added that she stopped private one-on-one contact after learning about Huang’s actual relationship situation.
Her Statement About Huang Wen Ting
The agency’s account provides an important piece of context because it presents Lin’s understanding of the relationship differently from some online narratives. Reports have also connected Lin to actor Pan Jun Lun, but that relationship had previously been described publicly as a close friendship rather than an officially confirmed romance. On September 16, Pan’s representative indicated that the two had been in a friendship status for some time, adding another layer to a story that has generated considerable online discussion.
What Is Confirmed So Far?
The clearest confirmed developments are Huang’s apology, his decision to suspend most entertainment activities, Sony Music Taiwan’s withdrawal of him from “Self!shhh” promotion, and Lin Ting Li’s agency statement. Other details circulating online should be treated more carefully when they come from anonymous social-media posts, unnamed sources or interpretations of past dating rumors. This is especially important in entertainment reporting, where speculation can quickly spread beyond what the people involved have actually confirmed.
Why Fans Are Paying Attention
For Ozone fans, the controversy arrives at a sensitive moment because the group continues to have active music releases and promotional commitments. Huang’s suspension means his individual schedule has changed while existing contractual obligations remain in place. At present, there has been no official announcement establishing that Ozone itself is ending activities or that Huang is permanently leaving the group.
What Happens Next for Ozone?
For now, Huang Wen Ting’s activity suspension is the main confirmed change. Sony Music Taiwan has said he will not participate in the promotion of “Self!shhh” while previously contracted work will still be handled. Any longer-term decision about his return to promotional activities, future schedules or Ozone’s lineup would require another official announcement.
