After the Shine! Super Brothers finale aired, Wu Jiacheng wrote a Weibo post which went into more detail about things he mentioned in passing on stage and said other things he wanted to say. Here's the translation by Alice at our Insta xnine_world0928:
Your dark-skinned boy has something to say.
About music
Since I released my first album in 2018, I have been very clear about my favourite music style. At first, maybe many people don't understand why I want to do something that is not "popular"? I took my computer and brought my own ppt to have a meeting with my boss. I said I want to make a retro album, at the time I said that retro elements will be popular in the next few years! Finally I completed the album "5", which is also my favourite album. Until today, I still feel that my direction is not wrong!
Last year, I was obsessed with surfing. This sport and the sea gave me inspiration, and therefore I created my second album "WILD I5LAND". It expresses my growth this year, expresses my love for music and life, makes my personal style clearer.
Said so much, it’s actually all about regret. I’m sorry / regret that I didn’t let everyone know that I’m a person who makes music seriously and loves to sing. I regret that I didn’t put myself on the stage, didn’t present my work to everyone.
About skin tone
This year, when people think of Wu Jiacheng, they will think of a word, dark. I have not been forced to go dark, because I love surfing, it is a sport that allows me to integrate with nature and be bathed in sunlight all the time. It is healthy and it makes me happy, so what’s the matter?
Many people say, you’re doing this job, it’s not good to be dark, right? Many people don't like it, right?
Who said that dark skin is not allowed for this job?
Who said I must change myself according to people who like bright skin?
Who said that this world and society has only one aesthetic?
So, # Wu Jiacheng just want to compete with this world.* Even if the scars of wounds strung together like beads, but I have no regrets! I will be happy.
Don’t tell me anything like "don’t get dark anymore" or "whiten it", because I love myself.
Finally, about this show.
Just one point, thanks to all those who love me. ❤️
Thank you dear Susu for supporting me even though she is very busy!**
Also, I hope everyone will support my upcoming musical "Next to Normal". Every actor in it is very good! It's really worth watching, it will bring you a different feeling!
Light, as long as you have it in your heart, it will never extinguish!
* #伍嘉成 我就想跟这个世界抗衡# (Wu Jiacheng I just want to compete with this world) became a trending hashtag after he said it on the show.
