On April 7, Tong Zhuo's studio posted a number of Weibo posts to collect debts from Tong Zhuo, which sparked heated discussions.
The studio claimed to have made advances to Tong Zhuo on several occasions. Tong Zhuo's tax payable in the 2021 annual final settlement is 87,185.96 yuan, including a total of about 100,000 yuan in late fees, which are paid by the studio. In April 2023, Tong Zhuo went to Thailand to work, but asked to bring his family, and the studio paid a total of 26,731.9 yuan for non-work expenses such as air tickets and hotels for Tong Zhuo's family, and listed the cost details.
In addition, the studio also refuted the condemnation of fans, and the behavior of Tong Zhuo's "favorite fans" in the eyes of fans is actually led by the studio, saying, "In order to allow fans to meet Tong Zhuo, we changed venues to make arrangements, and we also had to avoid Uncle Hat, and every one of his performances, we are as thrilling as fighting." He posted a chat record, revealing that after the Guangzhou performance was canceled in 2021 due to equipment problems, he felt that it was not easy for fans to come from all directions, so he decided to book a restaurant to charter everyone to dinner, but the restaurant refunded the deposit and did not accept Tong Zhuo; "This is the studio that Tong Zhuo said has no ability, but I think the studio feels more sorry for the fans than Tong Zhuo. What do you think?"
The studio also said that Tong Zhuo once wanted to bring goods, but was banned by the platform because of his account permissions, but to no avail, not what Tong Zhuo said, "I broke up with the studio because the studio wanted him to bring goods".
In this regard, Tong Zhuo responded through his personal Weibo on April 8: "Hello Mr. Han under the skin of the studio, you are the boss, I am a worker, Thailand was you invited our family to go, forgot? If you don't reply for two hours, you need to confide in netizens! The live broadcast income is owed for 6 years, and the money to buy hot searches should be paid back to your anchors!" The so-called "Mr. Han" is Guo Han, the founder of the live broadcast app "Salted Egg Family", and Tong Zhuo was the online anchor of the APP. He added in the comment area that he was owed more than 100,000 yuan in live broadcast income, "and the specific amount of other anchors is not clear."
As for the investigation of the tax difference, he also clarified in his comments, saying that it is a normal process to settle the final settlement and refund the overpayment and make up the underpayment. However, it did not respond to the studio's advance of taxes.
In response to Tong Zhuo's alleged APP's arrears of live broadcast income, Tong Zhuo's studio posted a "Guo Han and Sina Sansheng Heavy Second-Instance Verdict", saying that he had won the lawsuit against the APP, and Tong Zhuo knew about it, but still attacked it with old news. "I (Guo Han) even thought about lending money to you personally, and I am only one of the shareholders, you also know that I finally won the lawsuit after 3 years of rights protection, and you still choose to send out the old news, what do you want to prove?
Tong Zhuo participated in the music variety show "Sound into the Heart" in 2018, and debuted as a popular boy group in December 2019. In June 2020, he revealed in the live broadcast that he had falsified his identity as a fresh graduate in the college entrance examination, and was excluded from the men's group after the incident, and terminated his contract with Hunan Satellite TV.
