The member of popular boy band TFBOYS rose to fame since debut in 2013, when he was 13. Wang has worked to build a positive image over his past six years of stardom as an advocate for children and youth education.
He was named a UNICEF Special Advocate for Education in June 2017, followed by a more important role one year later -- the organization's ambassador.
Aligning with the UNICEF appointments, he was invited to address a global audience at the seventh Economic and Social Council Youth Forum at United Nations headquarters in January 2018.
His own academic performance has also captured the attention of the public. Talking about his admission to Berklee College of Music in a recent reality TV show Haha Farmer, he said music is a skill he wants to hone and master.
Speaking of his decision to study abroad, he said he didn't want to have any regrets.
