Former EXO member Tao is going viral after surprising fans with an unexpected gift at a recent brand event. According to fan accounts spreading across social media and Chinese platforms, Tao reportedly handed out hongbao (red envelopes containing money) to fans who attended the event.
Photos shared by attendees showed multiple fans holding red envelopes filled with cash.
“Huang Zitao is way too good. An idol giving fans red packets. Huang Zitao, I have to love you for life, sobs. I think he’s the first celebrity to give fans red packets. You guys don’t need to pity his fans. Huang Zitao’s fans are taken pity on by Huang Zitao himself.”
According to fan discussions that later spread online, Tao allegedly gave out 1,000 yuan (approximately $140 USD) per person. Fans were shocked by both the amount and the unexpected gesture.
The story has since gone viral online, with many praising Tao for his generosity.
