HONG KONG, May 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MCG Limited today issued a formal statement on behalf of Mr. Ken Lai, Founder of MCG Limited and former Chief Executive Officer of Brandoville Studio, to provide a factual update regarding the studio’s closure and to address recent misinformation circulating online.
Article content
Factual Context of Studio Closure
Article content
The statement confirms that Brandoville Studio officially ceased its operations on July 28, 2024. This business decision was the result of commercial disagreements between shareholders regarding the company’s future strategic direction. Following the closure, Mr. Lai relocated back to Hong Kong. It was approximately one and a half months later (mid-September 2024) that he was made aware of these subsequent online reports. He was extremely shocked and saddened by these allegations, as these discussions emerged well after the studio’s operations had completely concluded. These localized discussions subsequently subsided, only to be unexpectedly resurfaced and sensationalized by content creators on video-sharing platforms in 2025.
