On April 19, Wu unveiled his latest single Big Bowl, Thick Noodle, which he also performed in his Beijing concert. Inspired by an impromptu rap he did for a noodle shop in a variety show aired in 2017, the song has been heard more than 97 million times since its music video was released on Wu's Sina Weibo account, which has over 46 million followers.
Since his Beijing concert took place on the eve of Mother's Day, the singer-songwriter dedicated his song Lullaby to his mother.
As a former member of the wildly popular K-pop group EXO, Wu, 29, launched his solo career both as a singer and an actor in 2014, and is now a best-selling artist in the country. He is a judge on the hugely popular Chinese hip-hop competition show, The Rap of China.
