Umbrella Movement involvement and Singer 2017 controversy

On January 10, 2017, Cheung was among the eight singers participating on the fifth season Hunan Television's reality competition I Am a Singer;[6] for that season it was the first season to be renamed to the current and simplified title of Singer.[7] However, prior to the announcement, Cheung revealed that he was still involved in the Umbrella Movement resulting in the dismay of his supporters and caused backlash on the Cheung's responsibility, in which he denied at the time.[8]

On January 13, the show's official blog page removed all of Cheung's references and related articles. The following day, the blog for another Hunan TV series, Mango TV Divas (芒果台女汉子) broke the news for Cheung's involvement in the Umbrella Involvement and its impact; Cheung announced his withdrawal from Singer 2017 shortly after the news.[9]

On January 17, four days before the season premiere, Cheung was announced to have withdrawn from the competition; Emperor Entertainment Group's spokesman reveal that they have terminated Cheung's involvement from his entertainment agency, and cited that Cheung's actions, whether correct or otherwise, had caused "great pressure on the singer and the TV station, and the singer himself can't concentrate on preparing for the contest", confirming his withdrawal,[10] and his performance ("吻得太逼真") for the first episode (which was taped prior on January 10) were to be edited out of air (except for a part of the results which also involved another contestant, Teresa Carpio); per the rules of I Am a Singer for withdrawn singers (which has also happened for at least one singer from the first three seasons), Cheung was not allowed to have any further involvement in the show, and he was ineligible in participating Returning performances and Breakout rounds. As of the recent season in 2020, Cheung was the only contestant to have participated in the show but without any mention or appearance during the show's air entirely.[11] However, it was revealed on February on the same year, Cheung was cleared on the controversy and was reinstated in the media agency.[12]。
