Ray Chen (Dual Stars)
BIOGRAPHY
Ray Chen is the actor credited with the role of Jian Mo, a once-acclaimed performer whose career has stalled, in the 2026 Mandarin-language boys’ love miniseries Dual Stars. This profile refers specifically to the Dual Stars cast member recorded under that name and is not connected to any other public figure who shares it.
Dual Stars runs six episodes on iQIYI International, produced by Lumina Entertainment, with Taiwan recorded as the country of origin and Mandarin as the original language. All six episodes were released together rather than weekly. The premise puts a fallen genius actor and a volatile top idol into a controversial film project together and lets the hostility between them turn into something neither expected. He carries the first of those two roles, opposite Alan Chen as Xu Xinlang, and the two of them are the entire credited cast, both appearing in all six episodes.
The public record on him is almost empty, and the reason is traceable. On the licensed iQIYI page for the series the two leads are billed as Ray C and Alan C., with the surnames cut to a single letter. The fuller form Ray Chen comes from the database record rather than from the distributor. No date of birth, place of birth, agency, alternate name or social account appears in any source we accept, so all of those fields on this page are empty.
BLGLFlix editorial view
Ray Chen plays the actor who used to be somebody. It is a role with a particular kind of weight in a series about the entertainment industry, and it is being played by a performer with no other credit anywhere and a surname the distributor will not print in full. There is nothing clever to make of that coincidence, but pretending it is not there would be worse.
What can be said usefully is what kind of production this is. Six episodes released in a single drop, on iQIYI’s international arm, from a company whose registration is recorded in Canada, for a series listed as Taiwanese in origin and shot in Mandarin. Asian BL is a weekly-release business almost everywhere, built around a fandom that assembles each week around a new episode. A cross-border miniseries that lands complete is a different commercial proposition. One title does not make a pattern, so this is noted rather than declared.
Conflicts left visible. The release date is given as 12 May 2026 on the official iQIYI page and 22 May 2026 on TMDB. Ten days apart is the kind of gap that usually means a staggered or regional launch, and no source says which is which, so both are published. The original title is recorded as 頂峰 in the database while the iQIYI page carries no Chinese-character title at all. And his name itself exists in two forms across the two sources.
On the director credit: a “Momo” attribution circulates on third-party blogs, which on their own are not usable. The official iQIYI album page credits the director as Momo, with its own internal link, so the name is supported by the distributor rather than by the blogs.
On identity, because this name genuinely is a trap: a search for Ray Chen returns an internationally known violinist who has nothing to do with this series. Everything here is pinned to a single database person record whose only credit is Dual Stars, verified against the series’ own cast list. The suffix in this page’s title is there deliberately so that no later pass merges the two.
