Super idol rewrites the script
Seeking better work-life balance, multi-talented celebrity with nearly 42 million Weibo followers broadcasts his relationship with nature and climbing, Xing Wen reports.
By creating and starring in a documentary series following his journeys into some of the planet's most untouched lands, he has found true work-life balance. Produced by Warner Bros. Discovery, the first season of Exploring the Unknown with Wang Yibo took him on rare adventures, including trekking through rainforests in Hainan province with outdoor experts to track gibbons and attempting to ski in Qinghai province, as well as exploring karst caves, rappelling into colossal sinkholes, and rock climbing in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.
"When I first entered the entertainment industry as a teenager, I pushed myself relentlessly and worked extremely hard. But eventually, I felt utterly exhausted and longed to step outside and connect with nature," says Wang.
"Every response I get from nature is the most genuine kind of feedback."
