The open-mic music competition show The Next Singer 下一战歌手 recently featured Ryan Ding Yuxi as a show host. The 29-year-old actor has skyrocketed to popularity thanks to the currently airing costume romance series Love Game in Eastern Fantasy, where his acting skills and undeniable charm have captivated audiences. Just when you thought he’d done it all, Ding Yuxi blew fans away when he didn’t just host in The Next Singer but also took his first stage performance on the show. He sang “Ning Mou (凝眸)” (originally performed by Zhang Yuan), a song from the Love Game in Eastern Fantasy OST.
If you’re a new fan like me, you might be surprised to discover his singing talent though a throwback clip from the cast’s livestream promo shows Ding Yuxi singing the same song a cappella. For the ultimate fan service during his performance, Ding Yuxi made sure to wear his DIY Perler bead crafts of their characters, Miao Miao and Mu Sheng (he had made one for Esther Yu too!). The hashtag #DingYuxiShouldHoldAConcert trended online, though some fans urged others to keep the buzz in check, noting his primary focus remains on acting. Regardless, there’s no denying his fans would love to see more of his musical side in the future.
