lrt real talk though, yibo& #39;s perspective and approach to fame is so fascinating. he& #39;s extremely straightforward and practical about it, to the point of ~almost~ rudeness sometimes when responding to interview questions he deems silly, and at the same time he& #39;s so aware of what-

-he himself is capable of. see wugan "i& #39;m not as good as you think i am, nor am i as bad as they say" i mean!!!! what kind of extremely pragmatic and matter-of-fact attitude to approach fame and the amount of opinions people have about him day in and day out!! the way he tries-

to present himself as truthfully as possible, his seemingly blasé attitude (thinking about that one interview he was asked if he ever thought about quitting and he was just like, no, i wanted this and came this far, why quit now?), and how it all is reflective of his personal-

-motto of "做好自己" (be yourself, do the best you can for yourself). GOSH!!!! anyway, wang yibo is a fascinating way to think about subversion in celebrity culture and i love him https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😫" title="Tired face" aria-label="Emoji: Tired face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😫" title="Tired face" aria-label="Emoji: Tired face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😫" title="Tired face" aria-label="Emoji: Tired face">

AND ANOTHER THING (coming back to this thread 2 hrs later cause i& #39;m never not thinking about celebrity culture): i really wonder how much of this is a defense mechanism in response to the fame and scrutiny and how much of this is actually just how yibo lives his life? bc i could-

-never live the way yibo does (aka i& #39;m constantly overthinking and that would def only be amplified by any amount of fame), which is part of the reason why his attitude is so interesting to me (bc i could never!!) but again, just thinking about the gap between what celebrities-

-allow us to see of them (and which parts are shown without their consent, hello stalkers and also shows that force moments of vulnerability for good drama/content!!) and who they are in private. i& #39;m so curious if this is how yibo actually acts in his day to day, and he& #39;s given-

-us no reason to think that it& #39;s NOT. anyway just me thinking about the gaps between what we see from our favorite celebs and who they truly are https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😔" title="Pensive face" aria-label="Emoji: Pensive face">
