According to Sohu, on March 10 Hong Kong media reported that Yu Dong, chairman of Bona Film Group, is being pursued by Wynn Macau over an unpaid debt of HKD 4.73 million. The news quickly caused a stir online, sparking heated discussions and rapidly climbing the trending search rankings.
Amid the growing public attention, Bona Film Group issued a statement denying the allegations. “This information is not true. We are currently reporting and requesting action against related posts,” a representative of the film company said.
According to Hong Kong media reports, the issue stems from a lawsuit filed by the casino. Wynn Macau claims that Yu Dong borrowed HKD 10 million from them on May 1, 2024, and promised to repay the amount by May 16, 2024. However, by November last year he had only repaid part of the loan, leaving an outstanding balance of around HKD 5.73 million.
In January this year, a payment check issued by Yu Dong was reportedly rejected by the bank. Later, on February 1, he allegedly paid another HKD 1 million, but the remaining HKD 4.73 million has still not been settled.
As a result, Wynn Macau filed a lawsuit with the Hong Kong High Court on March 3, requesting that Yu Dong repay the remaining debt along with interest.
Yu Dong is the head of Bona Film Group, one of the largest film companies in China, and is widely known as a major figure in the country’s film industry. The case is currently drawing significant public attention.
