Gina Jin (aka Jin Chen) has recently addressed rumours of her starring in a new drama opposite Johnny Huang, which many of her fans are not happy with and calling it “a bad project”.

In a livestream on 14 January, the actress spoke to her fans about the rumour, saying that they should not worry and just wait and see.

“I haven’t taken on any bad dramas, have I? They’re all pretty good. Even if they are bad, so what? If it’s not done well, couldn’t it be made worse anyway? Don’t worry,” she said.

Gina added that she doesn’t believe in the notion of a “bad project”.

“Once it comes to me, it’s a good project. When it gets to us, the luck turns good too. Don’t worry. Just trust my choices, okay?” she added.
