The fan who originally posted the video in March 2021 on Weibo (@xxxlily71) explained that they were talking with friends recently and remembered recording this. Xiaojun (whose real name is Xiao Dejun) caught their eye back then, and the next time they saw him, he was with SM Entertainment!

YangQiY: Xiao Dejun already had fancams back then

xxxlily71: He’s really handsome. I took notice of him right away and asked my friend who he was, and my friend said his name is Xiao Dejun. Then later, when I saw his name again, he was with SM…

YangQiY: Those who have good looks and talent never go unnoticed 🥺
