Group EXO member and solo artist Baekhyun has proven his unrivaled global influence by becoming the first Korean national entertainer to reach individual "super topic" diamond level 1 on Weibo, China's largest SNS platform.
"Super topic" is a community operated within Weibo centered around artists, works, and specific topics, and is considered a major indicator that can gauge the largest fandom scale and activity in China. The ratings are updated every Monday, with silver, gold, and diamond divided into three stages, totaling nine levels. As of the 1st, Baekhyun became the only Korean national artist to reach individual "super topic" diamond level 1.
This achievement seems to have been significantly influenced by Baekhyun's world tour "Reverie" performances in Macau, which took place on the 30th and 31st of last month. In fact, a Weibo live broadcast conducted the day before the performance gathered about 2.19 million viewers, illustrating Baekhyun's immense popularity in the region.
Moreover, various concert-related search terms continued to rank high on the day of the performance, and the local song covers and challenges presented during the concert quickly spread across various SNS platforms, dominating the top three positions on Douyin's culture and entertainment popularity chart, showcasing explosive attention.
After 13 years since his debut, Baekhyun is now holding his first world tour, meeting fans from South America, the U.S., Europe, Oceania, and Asia, while writing new records. As he embarks on the Asia schedule, the proven buzz on local SNS reinforces global fans' anticipation for this tour and elevates expectations for upcoming performances.
Meanwhile, Baekhyun is set to meet fans from various regions through his ongoing world tour "Reverie."
