Chinese singer whose image was severely damaged by her divorce scandal Wang LihongRecently, the company has been making frequent moves, including announcing the release of its new single "Come What May" and officially becoming the global spokesperson for Denza, a high-end brand under the Chinese electric vehicle brand BYD, once again becoming the focus of attention.
Wang Leehom recently teased on social media that "May will definitely be exciting," and on Friday (May 15th), he immediately released two new announcements. First, the cover art for his new song "Come What May" was officially revealed, featuring him passionately kissing a woman, drawing attention from fans. The new single is expected to be officially released on May 20th.
In addition, Wang Leehom also announced that he has become the global brand ambassador for Denza, becoming the second artist after Daniel Craig to hold this position. The official statement indicates that the collaboration focuses on "technological luxury" and "international appeal." Wang Leehom is also scheduled to appear in Guangzhou on May 18th to attend the launch event for the Denza N9 Flash Charge Edition.
According to reports, Wang Leehom's endorsement fee exceeded 1000 million RMB. In response, his agent stated, "We are very satisfied with the endorsement amount because we have great confidence in BYD's development capabilities, and we will use all of it to purchase BYD shares."
Looking back at the turmoil of his divorce, Wang Leehom was suddenly and devastated by his ex-wife Lee Jinglei's lengthy and explosive revelations at the end of 2021, causing his image as a "romantic genius" to plummet and shocking the entire Chinese music scene. Wang Leehom's father subsequently responded with a publicly written letter, and the two engaged in a war of words.
At the time, Lee Jinglei filed multiple accusations against Wang Leehom, including maintaining "close relationships" with multiple women, soliciting prostitutes, emotional manipulation, and forcing him to divorce. Wang Leehom denied marital infidelity and counter-accused Lee Jinglei of pressuring him through their children and public opinion. Ultimately, Wang Leehom announced a temporary retirement from the entertainment industry, stating that he would spend more time with his family and children.
The two sides then engaged in a cross-border legal battle. In 2023, Wang Leehom's lawyer issued a statement saying that the New York court had formally approved their divorce. The court did not find Wang Leehom at fault in the divorce proceedings, but rather completed the judgment based on the legal divorce agreement between the two parties, thus officially bringing this marital dispute to an end.
With the simultaneous release of his new song and new endorsement, this is seen as an important step for Wang Leehom to gradually return to the entertainment and commercial markets.
