Wang Yibo: The road to becoming a top star

Who would have thought that a young boy who was once in the hospital on a drip for myocarditis would become a top stream superstar who enjoys more than 40 endorsements and contributes 59% of Lehua's turnover? Wang Yibo's growth story is even more exciting than any macho drama - there is no golden finger from the sky, only a lonely courage and persistence.

In 1997, young Wang Yibo was admitted to a hospital in Luoyang, Henan Province, with myocarditis, and the street dancers on TV made him forget the coldness of his IV tube. Doctors warned him that “strenuous exercise can be fatal”, but he practiced dancing every day until his knees were bruised. In order to pass the Lehua audition, he became the “only Chinese trainee with all A's” among Korean trainees, training 18 hours a day and even sleeping on the floor. At the beginning of his career, he was mocked as a “vase”, and Wang Han once told him, “Talk more so that the camera can see you.”

In 2019, The Order of Chen Emotion announced that Wang Yibo would play the role of Blue Forgetting Machine, and fans of the original protested, “The face paralyzed face ruins my white moonlight!” . In the face of skepticism, he reread the novel five times, meticulously designed his movements, and even the angle of bending his fingers was repeatedly adjusted. On the night the episode aired, #Blue Forgetting Machine's eye scene# hit the hot search, and netizens exclaimed, "He makes the iceberg have a heartbeat. In order to prove himself, he responded to the skepticism with a shocking dance in “This is Street Dance 3”, which was imitated 230 million times across the internet.

In the face of controversy, he chose to respond with strength. When Lehua used a virtual girl group to take away his C position, he took off his company ring; his new song launch collided with the annual meeting, and he gave the golden microphone to the newcomers. 2024, he won nine new endorsements, a single contribution of 638 million yuan, netizens jokingly referred to as “Wang Yibo Limited”. When shooting “wind chasers”, he 3:00 a.m. on the scene, the field notebook is full of character biographies, the screenwriter lamented that he “more than the director to understand the character arc”.

From the myocarditis teenager to the top of the internal entertainment stream, Wang Yibo with the story writing “anti-routine”: to fate, he preferred to jump out of the 900 million price; to the capital, he refused to be a puppet, with the strength of the fight for the right to speak; to the questioning, he will “you can't” into the crown diamond. Today, he still insists on practicing dance for 2 hours every day, and breaks bones in the motorcycle race to cross the finish line. Some people ask what the top stream is afraid of? He replied: “I'm afraid to stop and let down my 12-year-old dancing self.” This may be the true meaning of the real-life version of the big man - not the Chosen One, but to turn the “impossible” into “I want to”.
