Sharing links to Yizhan's content.

Hello fellow Turtles!

I finally have something to share, which might not be so interesting to many, but in my almost six months in the fandom, I've noticed that many people are limited to YouTube content.

**And for those who prefer YouTube, I'm also creating playlists there with the videos in chronological order. I haven't finished yet and plan to add what's missing little by little:

This profile on Bilibili contains many playlists with Yizhan archaeology, since Yibo's debut in 2014, and it's one of my favorites for marathons: https://space.bilibili.com/472974083?spm_id_from=333.788.upinfo.detail.click

Yizhan content in 2017 (including an incredible 3.14 analysis. The link goes directly to March, but there's more on the profile): https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1BA411e79Y/?spm_id_from=333.1387.favlist.content.click

Another incredible analysis of 3.14 with fancams (I love this video because you can see Yibo watching Zhanzhan dancing): https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1q7411j76g/?spm_id_from=333.1387.favlist.content.click&vd_source=34c6b88f3283f4367ff9a581c117d88e

Yizhan content from 2018 (including Weibo posts): https://space.bilibili.com/3494370869250923/lists/3535507?type=season

Edits to cry over: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1S64y1u7fq/?spm_id_from=333.1387.favlist.content.click&vd_source=34c6b88f3283f4367ff9a581c117d88e https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1n4411y7Dp/?spm_id_from=333.1387.favlist.content.click&vd_source=34c6b88f3283f4367ff9a581c117d88e

Analysis profile: This one is really good, it's worth all the work taking screenshots and translating: https://space.bilibili.com/1170830588?spm_id_from=333.1387.follow.user_card.click

There are many more profiles on Bilibili, but these are my favorites that are always open in the thousand tabs here. When I remember any more, I'll edit or make a second post. Until then, here's my profile, and the accounts I follow are all related to Yizhan:

That's all for now. Soon I want to share my thoughts on Yizhan that I've had during these six months of hyperfocus, especially the timeline I've noticed. Nothing too serious, but I love discussing Yizhan.

And spoiler alert, but have you noticed how things changed between May 30th and 31th? And June 1st then??

For me, that moment was when Bobo mustered the rest of the courage he needed:

Yes, Bobo, you did it!

(To my fellow Brazilians out there) To celebrate WYB possibly teaming up with a Brazilian racer on the next race 🇧🇷 here's a compilation of YiZhan and their connection with Brazil:

In his X-Fire presentation VT, Xiao Zhan was shown working at a design studio with a Brazilian flag in the background.

Baby idol WYB trying Brazilian food with UNIQ in 2015 when they went to Brazil.

WYB dancing samba and UNIQ's cover of a Brazilian song.

This one is SUPER cringey but still... WYB and UNIQ walking around São Paulo.

(On a personal note: My first connection with WYB was actually through Cho Seungyoun/Luizinho/Woodz, because it was so fascinating to me that a K-pop idol had lived in Brazil to play soccer that I started following Seungyoun and consequently UNIQ. It was only years later that I watched CQL and THEN made the connection that LWJ's actor was actually from UNIQ.)

A new Turtle is born.

Shy, curious, with high peaks of hyperfocus, I am a new Turtle born in October 2025. I am also Brazilian, and still improving my English, so please excuse me if my text seems harsh. But I need to share my thoughts, and this seems like a good place for that, even though I've never used this platform before.

But to the point, how I became a fan of Yizhan.

I already knew Yibo before. I've watched his dramas, variety shows (SDC is my favorite), and even looked for his CP before (with CX, because she was the only girl he seemed to talk to). In short, I must have known Yibo for about five years, but I never delved into getting to know him better.

I only vaguely knew Xiao Zhan from a few dramas (Douluo Continent to be exact, which I watched twice), and that's it. I never knew he was an Idol.

About The Untamed, I also knew about that. And I loved the drama, even though I never watched the last episodes out of pity for my heart (I cry very easily, and I don't want to see the end of TU).

Did I know about Yizhan before? Vaguely. There are many edits, it's impossible not to see one thing or another, even more so having TU in your history. However, I never researched it, although I knew that Yibo and Zhan were estranged due to the fandoms. I also saw edits of the behind-the-scenes of TU, ​​but I didn't know how real they were, nor if they were just an obsession of TU fans.

Until October 18, 2025, I rewatched TU. YouTube showered me with Yizhan edits. I watched edits for two days straight, until I found the script reading footage. I discovered that there were hours of unedited BTS videos, where I could see for myself if they were real or not.

I started watching BTS, and while reading comments I discovered about the 2017 DDU. And about the song Nan Hai. And Yibo's posts as an indirect response to Zhan… I was sucked in.

I went to Bilibili, where there's much more content organized chronologically (my obsession), and since then I've been watching (and rewatching) the entire history since Yibo's debut. Seeing them younger helped me a lot to understand more about them, their personalities, their ways of speaking (even though I don't speak Chinese… yet), and mannerisms.

From everything I've seen since October, I have no doubt that Yizhan is real. And not just a strong friendship. They are a couple. They love each other so deeply that I myself fell in love with both of them and their love. Having become my hyperfocus, I think about Yizhan every day, and I would be happy to have someone to talk to about it (my mother can't stand hearing about Yizhan anymore). That's why I decided to post here. Being surrounded by other Turtles brings great relief, a warmth. There are so many haters out there, and seeing their comments really hurts.

If any of the old Turtles have any tips on how to survive this hate, I'd be happy to read them.

Even without doubting Yizhan, the frustration is immense. Waiting for 2026 with no certainty of anything but hope is also heartbreaking. And while I want Yizhan to just shout to the world about their love, I know that may never happen because it's too dangerous for them. Really dangerous. There are so many crazy haters that I worry about their safety…

So many hopes, so many fears… Being a baby Turtle takes me on a rollercoaster ride all day long. One moment I'm smiling, then I'm on the verge of tears… Tell me if there's any support group, I feel like I need to apply.

Inhales, exhales

Now I'm going back to Yizhan. Again. See you later.
