Recently, a video surfaced online posted by someone who was filming a dance cover. The poster shared their experience and sought help from the internet to identify a man who had walked past them during the shoot.
Although the poster found the man vaguely familiar, they refrained from approaching him out of politeness. After they finished dancing, the mysterious man acknowledged them with a thumbs-up, adding a memorable touch to the encounter.
Intrigued by his friendly gesture, the poster turned to the online community for assistance in identifying the man. It didn’t take long for netizens to recognise him as Chinese actor Zhou Yiran.
Zhou Yiran, who was once a member of the boy band Yi’An Music Club under Original Plan Entertainment, has since gained fame for his roles in popular C-Dramas, particularly "When I Fly Towards You."
Netizens expressed their amazement that the poster had unknowingly encountered Zhou Yiran, marvelling at the chance meeting in Europe.
Many also remarked on how fortunate the poster was to have had such a pleasant interaction with the rising star. Given Zhou Yiran’s growing popularity, netizens were surprised that the poster didn’t recognize him.
The encounter left a lasting impression on the poster, and netizens were eager to help identify the charismatic actor.
This serendipitous moment not only delighted the poster but also highlighted the actor’s approachable and kind demeanour.
