Former contestant and finalist ranked #23 on Chinese idol survival show "CHUANG 2021"

First gained popularity in early 2018 after going viral for his natural cute looks on Douyin (Chinese Tik Tok) while working at a milk tea shop

Currently he is a solo artist whose specialty is dance & rap

He gained a new nickname, Miao-miao(淼淼) in July 2022.

His other nickname is teakettle (烧水壶) as he can laugh in a very high pitch

Has 2 tattoos:【MAVERICK】 "MAVERICK" is crossed out with a red line. Tattooed above the right side of his chest. /【XXII.IX.MM】 His birth date. Tattooed on his sternum.

He is an avid KPOP fan and often does short dance covers on his Douyin account. His dance cover of Dawn & HyunA's Ping Pong was uploaded to Instagram by a fan and was liked by Dawn & HyunA.

His favourite CPOP artists are Lexie Liu & Vinida Weng. His favourite actress is Yang Mi.

Before his Douyin fame, becoming an idol was the furthest thing Yetao had in mind for his future. He was part-timing at a milk tea shop to gain experience in business management.

After being encouraged by his newly gained fans and having support from his family, Yetao continued to work at the milk tea shop for a while to earn enough money to pursue a new path in Beijing. He began taking dance lessons at SDT Dance Center in late 2018 while working as the center's part-time receptionist.

He likes makeup and had been practicing it since his teen years. He had once thought of becoming a makeup artist after graduating from high school.

Yetao is a gender non-conforming man. The way he wears his makeup and his hair has always been a point of contention among netizens as far back as 2018. Whether it was before, during, or after Chuang — many netizens have criticized & insulted him or claimed he is only being like this for attention.

He has not confirmed nor denied any statements regarding his sexuality (as it is his privacy).

Although he is a man, Yetao allows his fans to call him "Jiejie" (Big sister) or "Laopo" (Wife) as these terms are considered a type of endearment in Chinese fan culture.

Yetao once explained his "MAVERICK" tattoo in an interview that he crossed it out because "it's a label other people forced onto [me], but it has nothing to do with [me], because it's not a label [I] gave [myself]"

Yetao prefers to be "undefined". He does not consider himself "girly" just because he "looks like a girl", "wears makeup & long hair", or because he likes to perform "girl group dances". Unfettered by gender expectations, how he presents himself to the world is simply how he chooses to live his life.

He has a small but loyal Chinese & international fanbase who love him for his passion for the life and also his hardworking spirit as he is eager and committed to every job he takes up.

Yetao's main part-time job now is working as a live host seller. He is also a beauty vlogger on his alt account on Douyin here.

Yetao had the opportunity to take up runway modelling gigs in 2022 with PONY China, KENSUN, & YIZHUO.
