Background
After finishing graduate school, Liang began posting idol-stage dance covers, drawing on several years of street-dance study. He added daily vlogs and livestreams featuring conversation and singing, gaining more than 100,000 followers within a few months 29.
Initially responsible for every part of his content production, Liang signed with an MCN agency to help manage his workload. The agency later sent him to Ascend to Stardom for exposure and follower growth. He did not want to enter the competitive show, but his contracts made withdrawing difficult 29.
Appearance
Liang is a brown-haired young man. He is slightly shorter than Lai Yudong and has no particularly distinguishing features that make him easy to spot in a crowd 10 27 44.
Personality
Liang is gentle, sociable, and attentive to others. He advises Lai Yudong to speak more for screen time, helps him remove his colored contacts, and reminds him to eat and rest while practicing 19 24 30. His fussing over his roommates earns him comparisons to a mother from viewers 25 43.
He is pragmatic about the show and does not share many contestants’ urgency to debut. Although he worries that slacking off could damage his reputation, he is reluctant to exhaust himself competing and prioritizes his health 29 41.
