After a whirlwind summer with “The Untamed” (陈情令) and the upcoming series “The Oath of Love” (余生请多指教) with Yang Zi (杨紫), Xiao Zhan (肖战) returned to his roots, singing. Xiao Zhan is currently part of the “Young Forever” group of singers who gets paired with veteran singers on the variety show, “Our Song” (我们的歌). If you didn’t know already, Xiao Zhan got his start in showbiz after joining an idol trainee competition called “X Fire” in 2015. He debuted in 2016 with his group X NINE.

Singing sort of took a back seat when Xiao Zhan started getting busy with his acting career. So it was a pleasant surprise to see him join another variety show, a singing one nonetheless. When Xiao Zhan introduces himself to the remaining mentors, Na Ying (那英) and Tanya Chua (蔡健雅), he says he is a young actor. He expresses, “I want to be an actor who can really sing, but I’ve sung on stage before.”
