He finally gave us an update! 😭 Look at how he exudes so much happiness in here. You really made us missed you so much but so long as you're happy. I mean, look at these precious, dazzling, beautifully contagious warm smiles. 🥺

Such a precious babie...

And the fluffy hair is finally back!!!!!

Oh, snap.

Xiao Zhan has announced the establishment of his own “personal studio”. Let’s unpack what that means. IT DOESN’T MEAN HE’S LEFT WJJW (boo) OR XNINE (yay).

Here are some tweets from one of our favourite Peter Pans on Western social media, Vitamin Xiao Zhan @xiaozhan911005, who’s been working hard to figure out what’s up.

From this tweet...

To everyone asking for what's a 'Personal Studio', as per a local Peter Pan/Shrimp, it's like an Agency "that will post his working plans, post photos, and deal with some negative comments. It is always more reliable and assuring to have a studio, so fans are all excited today."

And later in the thread...

This is another answer I got from local fans when I asked: 'What does it mean for XZ to have a 'Personal Studio'?'

"Means he has the right to decide and choose his work. Also, there would be a professional team, who will always support him, do things that benefits him...

...and most importantly, protect him when he is misunderstood or something.”

So he is still under Wjjw, but his career and protection is basically handled by his own Studio.

Evidently, this is not a rare thing in Chinese entertainment (CEnt). A personal brand gets too big for a company with a zillion clients to manage (though of course we could say it’s been like that for all of XNINE since the beginning lol). Zhan now basically has a bespoke PR firm with some management capabilities. This is a slightly looser situation than kpop fans are used to with Korean companies. And clearly it’s awesome news for Zhan and everyone who’s been concerned about his well-being during this latest explosion of his fame, especially since he has at least two more major acting projects in the can waiting for release while he keeps working of The Oath of Love.

(⬆️auto-translate) XZS is already hard at work promoting Jade Dynasty’s performance at the box office with some new visuals. Keep in mind that our boy was a graphic artist before all this, and he did design the logo, so get ready for more quality in that department (though he’s not doing everything because the point is HE’S BUSY). If you’re one of the many new Zhan stans, XZS is the new must-follow on Weibo.

Also... Jianguo is the new Huo Mala, pass it on. 😉
