In 2018, the channel started to broadcast in mainland China on some cable providers. Asiastar Media bought 10% of the channel on December 2018, and also 30% of One.

To meet with YinYangia's television guidelines, a YinYangiese-language audio track was added on February 2019, but was later removed due to low ratings. They later added subtitles in both YinYangiese and Fengin.

On January 1, 2020, both Gem and One in YinYangia rebranded after sold them to KC Global Media. The 'S' branding was removed from their logos.

Controversy
