the logistics of exams in china are a little hard to explain/translate, but basically another tidbit of info - zhang hao only studied for 6 months before scoring 1st in the yikao, which is a huge feat
op: “he’s never tasted what it’s like to be 2nd in his lifetime, i’m shocked”
77
another op on xhs also said:
“i am a 2020 student who took the fujian art yikao, i feel like i really need to add on that hao’s yikao scores are really f*cking awesome… it’s the kind that is even f*cking awesome among ordinary people”

[eng trans] of the weixin article!
repost OK with credit
re-translation OK with credit
i apologise if there are any mistakes! this was quite lengthy 😭
79
translating this post on xhs:
“zhang hao was only 16yo when he scored to enter the #1 university!
he was born 2000.7.25
which proves that he was only 16 when he took the gaokao
he wasn’t fully of age in china!
f*ck so cool!
science&art genius top scorer
really too cool!”

#zhanghao has recently gained traction among cfans for his intelligence!
according to this weixin article (kudos @zhanghaosky!) he entered the uni of geosciences in 2017 (#1 in china)
to do this, he had to take the 高考gaokao in 2016. so, he took it at age 16 vs the usual 18!

[weibo] cfan’s thinkpiece on #hanbin’s thoughtfulness towards fans!
while throwing balls at kcon, a lot of people said the way he threw the balls is so cute, like a little princess! but actually, it was also sung hanbin’s way of showing his warmth to his fans.

[weibo] thinkpiece on #hanbin’s performance as a leader + huge potential as mc!
after watching ricky’s live i felt: hanbin is such a good choice for leader! you can tell he picks up on jokes fast, eg the joke where he pretended to be salt bae with ricky

[weibo] what kind of person is zb1’s #yujin? (a thinkpiece)
he’s someone who helped a japanese classmate with korean because they were bullied for being bad at it ; he’s someone who always wears and treasures his watch because his father gave it to him ;

“可爱~!” our chinese speaking king sung hanbin everyone

[weibo] #zhanghao #ricky
after announcing p04 hao said “等我” (wait for me) and ruirui replied with “我在上面等你” (i’ll be up waiting for you)
a reason why i wanted them to have another chinese speaker in the group is because some moments can only be mutually understood by them twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

[weibo] cfan’s answer to the question “3 words to describe #hanbin?”
sincere, strong, soft
i’ve felt that he was sincere and strong since the start. every smile and every fan interaction from 小冰has always felt like a sincere and strong display.

sung hanbin’s eyelashes are long enough to touch his mask, when he smiles his aegyo-sal appears, and when he smiles even harder his dimples appear twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

our hanbin who could shine alone but always shines his light on those around him,

[weibo] on how #ricky gravitates towards #zhanghao
i feel like ricky always gravitates to zhang hao’s side - hao ge sang the starting notes of over me for him and he immediately looked more confident twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

[xhs] on #zhanghao’s japanese
red panda’s consistent improvement!
look at his handwriting from just a few days after debut, you can tell he copied & drew out the characters, the character “あ” isn’t too accurate, and other characters were also drawn haltingly, stroke by stroke
