Hou Minghao

Hou Minghao is known for his exceptional warmth and sincerity towards his fans, which has led him to be called "the ceiling of sincerity in show business."

Real-life actions: Once, before Chinese New Year, he created a WeChat group and personally handed out red envelopes containing 100 yuan to 32 fans so they could take taxis and avoid freezing outside. On set, he often buys fans hot tea, remembers their names, and even chats with them at length about life.
· Fandom: His fans call themselves "Kiwi" (猕猴桃) and their official color is green.

Hou Minghao is a complex and multifaceted personality: with a baby face and abs of steel, with the talent of a singer, the soul of an athlete, and a heart full of sincere love for his fans.

Hou Minghao's path to fame is a story of perseverance and years of hard work.

Early life and debut: Born into a military family, he was involved in the arts from childhood. At 15, he left for South Korea and became a trainee at SM Entertainment, where he underwent grueling training. After returning to China in 2014, he debuted in the group Fresh 极客少年团, but left the group two years later to pursue a solo career as an actor and singer.
· Acting: His breakthrough role was as Jian Zi in the 2017 drama Cambrian. Since then, he has distinguished himself in projects such as Test Me (as Wu Xie), Protecting the Heart, and his vibrant portrayals of Wang Ye (Among People) and Baili Dongjun (Young Hero Bai Ma), winning over audiences.
Music and Recognition: As a singer, he has released solo singles, and in 2025, he performed the song "Sangha Flower" at the CCTV Gala. His achievements have been recognized with the Golden Bone Award for "Most Popular Web Series Actor" and the title of "New Quality Star" at the Dragon TV Drama Festival.

Diet: Follows the "30% training, 70% nutrition" principle. While cutting, he eats chicken breast and eggs. He also admits that the "Nut Bar" (好丽友派) is the best treat in the world!
Routine: He enjoys napping and drinking goji berry tea. Before a new role, he takes it into his habit to check himself in the mirror so he can adjust his workout routine accordingly.

Musical talents: He has been playing the accordion since the age of four and has won first prizes in Beijing. He also plays the piano and guitar, sings classically, and writes poetry and music.
Culinary skills: He's an excellent cook and baker. He can bake cookies for his friends, and on the show "Ten Days Later," he treated everyone to steaks, coffee, and even homemade hot butter.

Hou Minghao leads a very active lifestyle, and his hobbies are strikingly diverse.

Sports and active recreation

Sports are a huge part of his life, which is why he is jokingly called "the athlete of the entertainment world."

His main passion is basketball. He loves it so much that he even opened his own basketball court in Hengdian.
Extreme Hobbies: He loves motorcycles, diving, snowboarding, surfing, skydiving, parkour, and even studied wushu (tai chi). His motto: "The mountains and the sea can heal all sorrows."
Fitness: He trains extremely disciplinedly. Even on set, he takes every opportunity to do push-ups on chairs or other props. Directors sometimes even have to ask him not to overdo it, so as not to break character.

Despite his striking appearance, Hou Minghao has a simple and sincere nature.

· Key Traits: He's a bit straightforward, a bit clumsy at times, but very sincere and genuine. He's been compared to a mint candy: clean and soft on the outside, but fiery on the inside.
· Personality type: He defines himself as an ENTP (“Debater”), characterized by engineering thinking and the ability to analyze complex problems.
· His attitude towards his fans: His fans appreciate him for his love, which often remains unspoken but is expressed through his actions ("爱不说出口"). He doesn't throw around grandiose statements, but shows touching care in small ways.

Hou Minghao is often called a "monkey-type handsome man" ("猴系帅哥") due to his large, expressive eyes and petite face. His appearance has been described as follows:

Face and Figure: He has a youthful appearance with soft features and a refined bone structure. His figure is "slim when dressed, muscular when undressed" (he has a six-pack).
Facial features: Large "doe eyes," a straight nose, and full lips lend a feminine touch without making her look effeminate. Her smile reveals cute fangs (小虎牙), and a small mole above her lip adds a touch of charm.
