Peek Backstage: All Access Pass to the Asian Music Industry

Hello! Welcome to your all access pass to the Asian music industry!

Here, you will find Q&A on all things pertaining to the Asian music industry from an industry insider (that’s me!) who had a career in the industry spanning over 10+ years! You’ll also find content featuring Xiao Zhan, Wang Yibo, The Untamed/MDZS, Wangxian, and potentially other c-drama and Chinese novels.

Please note: I will not answer any questions that deal with actual CP pairings/ships, but I’m happy to talk about CP communities/fandoms.

Here is a handy guide for questions that may already have been asked!

I humbly present a meta series on the Zhang Zhehan (張哲瀚) Incident, based on what has transpired up to 2021/08/22. I hope it provides the answers to the Asks I’ve got.

I must apologise for the length of the series, and the time I took to finish them. Given the gravity and complexity of its historical background, I thought the incident deserves a more detailed write-up (I learned a lot as well). For those from Zhang’s related fandoms who wish to read the backgrounds without reminders of the incident: Parts 1 to 3 are written with you in mind.

Under the cut is Part 1 of the five-part meta series:

1) The 2nd Sino-Japanese War (1937-45) & the Yasukuni Shrine 2) Post-War Sino-Japanese Relations; “Every Chinese should visit the Yasukuni Shrine” 3) The Summer of 2021: The Brewing Storms for One 4) My Thoughts on Zhang’s Incident, Part A 5) My Thoughts on Zhang’s Incident, Part B

(TW: Mentions of War Violence)

Hi everyone, it’s been a while! I have been insanely busy these past few months, so haven’t had time to do anything non-work related.

I hope you are all doing well and I miss quite a number of you! (Especially @rainbowsky ❤️)

I don’t know if/when I will have time to start posting here again, but I just wanted to leave a note to say that I’m alive - just insanely busy with my new company/work.

Sending love and well wishes to you all.

❤ People are going to have a lot of asks for you LOL.

Too bad I probably don’t have time to answer any of them these days. 😂 Work is too busy and I have no spoons.

I just hope everyone is healthy and well and living their best lives! ❤️

Hi guys!

Just giving you all a quick update.

I have been working insane hours and my work-life balance has more or less evaporated entirely. What free time I have is extremely limited, so I haven’t really been able to hop on Tumblr or check messages or anything along those lines.

I miss everyone (especially @rainbowsky!) and hope I’ll have a little downtime next week or two. I know I have a ton to catch up on and am super behind.

Anyway, sending everyone my love. Hope to be back soon-ish. ❤️

Xiao Zhan Oasis Post 3.17.21

You can find the full translation here In the meantime, I think his writing style and the way he expresses himself, I’m just really amazed. I want to tell him that yes, he did his best and that we are here for him to see it through.

I just had a long day at work today, and these lines from his post really resonated with me.

choose not to be negative or complain, and to go all out for every decision and choice; it is enough to find your own pleasure in every work.

At least I did my best, right? It used to be, it is now, and I think so in the future!
