Baekhyun has set a new milestone on Chinese social media, proving his unmatched global impact.
INB100, his agency, revealed on September 4 that Baekhyun became the first Korean celebrity to earn a Diamond Level 1 ranking on Weibo's 'Super Topic.' "This achievement highlights Baekhyun's overwhelming influence in the global market," the agency stated.
What is Weibo 'Super Topic'?
'Super Topic' is a fan community feature on Weibo where discussions revolve around artists, works, or specific themes. It serves as a key indicator of fandom power in China. Levels are determined by community activity, graded across Silver, Gold, and Diamond, each split into three tiers for a total of nine ranks.
Baekhyun's Exclusive Achievement
Baekhyun is the only Korean artist to reach Diamond Level 1. Industry insiders note that his recent Macau concert played a major role in boosting his ranking. Ahead of the show, his Weibo live broadcast attracted around 2.19 million simultaneous viewers.
His performance, including a Chinese song cover and fan-challenge moments, spread quickly across Chinese platforms. On Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, his clips ranked between first and third on the culture and entertainment trending charts.
Ongoing Global Tour
Meanwhile, Baekhyun is in the middle of his world tour 'Reverie.' His next stops are Bangkok on September 6–7, followed by additional dates across Asia.
