Sean Xiao Facts
He was artistically inclined from a very young age and used to learn painting as well as playing the violin during his school days.
After his graduation from Chongqing Technology and Business University in 2014, he had worked as a photographer and graphic designer for about a year before taking a plunge into the entertainment industry. While at university, he was a regular member of their chor team.
In 2015, he had participated in the reality TV show X-Fire where he had trained to be an idol singer alongside 15 other trainees. He eventually debuted, alongside 8 other trainees, in the idol group X Nine in 2016, as the boy band’s lead vocalist. X Nine had released their first mini-album, titled X Jiu, in September 2016.
In 2019, Forbes China had listed him in their ’30 Under 30 Asia’ list as part of its compilation of the most influential youngsters in Asia. The same year, he had also been ranked number 1 in the TCCAsia‘s ‘Most Handsome Faces in Asia’ list.
The Wolf (2020), a TV series in which he had played a key role, had become such a big hit in mainland China that it had surpassed 500 million views on a single platform within just 11 days of its launch.
In February 2020, he was involved in a major controversy when an adult fan fiction novel featuring him had appeared on a website called ‘Archive of Our Own’. It went viral on the Chinese social networking site Weibo immediately. The content had some disturbing and graphic images of Sean which led to the entire website being blocked in China by the Great Firewall. The controversy caused a lot of backlashes, including cyber violence, not just against Sean but also against the numerous products and brands that he endorses.
