In addition to the endorsement program, Li Yundi has also attracted public attention recently for participating in the hit variety show "Brother Who Overcomes Thorns".
On the afternoon of the 21st, a careful netizen discovered that some of Li Yundi's scenes in "Brother Overcoming Tough" were muted, and then news came that Li Yundi might have "something wrong."
On the same day, Li Yundi's personal Weibo also published a publicity for the show; as of now, this Weibo has not been viewed.
After the announcement of the prostitution incident, some netizens discovered that the latest issue of "Brother Who Overcomes Thorns" in which Li Yundi participated showed "Sorry, the video is offline."
After that, the program was back online, but it was shortened from 127 minutes to 121 minutes, and all the content about Li Yundi was also mosaic.

On the 22nd, Sino-Singapore Jingwei discovered that the first seven episodes of "Brother Who Overcomes Thorns" and the first two issues of "Brother's Boyhood" that Li Yundi participated in had all been removed from the shelves.
Some netizens said that "Brother Who Overcomes Thorns" is really "traveling disadvantages". Huo Zun was "hand torn" by his ex-girlfriend before Li Yundi was hammered for prostitution.
The mango super media behind this variety show has also fallen into the cusp of public opinion.
According to Sino-Singapore Jingwei, from the high of 93.01 yuan/share at the beginning of the year, it has fallen to 39.86 yuan/share at the close of October 21, a decrease of 57.14%.
In August 2021, Li Yundi was invited to serve as the spokesperson for the city's image in Guangzhou.
Some netizens discovered that Li Yundi had appeared in a promotional video for Guangzhou Cultural Tourism not long ago. After being notified by the police, the official had deleted the relevant video.
According to CCTV.com, lawyer Chang Sha said that Li Yundi may also be held accountable for breach of contract by the performing arts company. The prostitution incident will prevent Li Yundi from appearing in variety shows, face liability for breach of contract, and may have to pay liquidated damages.
Lawyer Fan Chen said: "It is possible that he will not be able to engage in the performing arts industry for life, or he may experience a period of banning for several years."
The central media uttered: black and white piano keys, "yellow" is not allowed!
According to public information, Li Yundi was born in Chongqing, China in 1982. He won the 14th Chopin International Piano Competition in 2000. He made his debut on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 2001. After that, he released several albums and performed several tours. He signed with Warner Music in 2019.
On the evening of the 21st, the People's Daily commented on the matter: black and white piano keys should not be involved in "yellowness"; life is right, and no crookedness is allowed.
The more a public figure, the more he needs to cherish his feathers. Once he falls into the "thorns", it is difficult to turn himself over; once the character is destroyed, no matter how high his skill is, he will not be sad.
CCTV News also posted a comment in the early morning of the 22nd: "For a period of time, certain so-called'star stars' have frequently challenged social conscience, morality and even legal dignity. These people who have been extolled to the sky have long been unable to find the north. But the reality will always be. Beat them back to their original form."
On the 22nd, the official website of the Chinese Musicians Association issued a statement stating that: Li Yundi is a member of the Chinese Musicians Association, and according to Article 25 of the "Chinese Musicians Association", his membership of the Chinese Musicians Association shall be cancelled.
