China — For those following the Chinese reality competition show Call Me By Fire, it has been a rollercoaster ride. One of the contestants, world-famous pianist Li Yundi was arrested by Chinese police just last week for soliciting a prostitute, which is illegal in China.
Despite everything, the show has to go on. Viewers who have been waiting for the results can now breathe easy as the results of who will be part of the 17-member boy band have been released.
