Chinese Celebrity Xiao Zhan Goes Viral For Making An Instagram Account And Korean Netizens Go Crazy
Chinese actor and singer Xiao Zhan is creating buzz and excitement among Korean fans for finally opening up an Instagram account after many years.
A huge star in China and even voted the second most handsome man in the world in 2022, Xiao Zhan has many Korean fans who love him for his roles in the television series The Untamed with actor Wang Yibo and The Wolf.
He even has fan cafes in Korea making billboards for his birthday in Korean subway stations.
Because he only gave updates using Weibo, there were only fan accounts and fan cafe accounts on Instagram that Korean fans could follow for content—but no Instagram of his own. There have been accounts claiming to be him, but they were deemed fake because apparently, he had deleted his Instagram after it got hacked.
Craving to see content from him, Korean netizens have been asking for Xiao Zhan to please open up an Instagram account for a while now.

Finally, their wishes came true the morning of February 24 KST as Xiao Zhan created an Instagram account with an aesthetically blurry profile picture and a first post with a simple caption translated to, “Hi, I’m Xiao Zhan.”
News of his new Instagram account is spreading like wildfire on Twitter as a trending topic and on other popular platforms such as Naver, and his follower count is rising exponentially by the minute.
