HoRLang Studio Statement: Criminal Cases Confirmed for Voice Actors Jiang Guangtao and Baomu Zhongyang

Recently, HoRLang Studio issued an official statement addressing long-standing rumors regarding criminal investigations involving their company and associated individuals. The statement denounced defamatory remarks circulating online and formally confirmed that internal staff Song Ming (known as Baomu Zhongyang) and Wang Xue, along with external voice actors Jiang Guangtao and Song Yang, are involved in criminal cases.

The confirmation sent shockwaves through the community. Users noted that the situation is finally 'hammered' (Chinese slang for confirmed/proven). Regarding confusion over whether Baomu Zhongyang had been released, community members clarified that he is currently on 'bail pending trial'—allowed to work but restricted from leaving his jurisdiction.

As both actors are pillars of the Chinese otome (romance-for-women) game industry, this news has sparked significant anxiety among players regarding game continuity. Developers have responded in various ways: some are using AI voice synthesis technology to fill the void, others have opted for direct recasting, while some titles remain in a 'playing dead' (silent) state regarding their future plans.
