Recently, the Big Data platform announced a ranking of social media discussion levels of Chinese actors born from 1990-1999 in the past year (from July 20, 2025 to July 19, 2026).
From Truong Lang Hach's explosive appeal with "Axis of Jade", to Vuong Nhat Bac appearing simultaneously with 3 luxury brands at Paris Fashion Week, Tieu Chien attracting attention with high-end representative contracts and shows in Milan, or Thanh Nghi, Luu Vu Ninh conquering audiences with both historical and fashion films... All have created this latest ranking.
From the rankings, it can be seen that Chinese historical films are still a "star-creating machine" when the most discussed works of top names such as Truong Lang Hach, Luu Vu Ninh, Tieu Chien, Thanh Nghi are all historical films.
Truong Lang Hach is the 9X male actor most discussed in the past year, with 418,944 posts related to him appearing online.
The most interested works are "Axis of Jade" (136,984 posts) and "Love You" (12,920 posts).
Truong Lang Hach made a breakthrough thanks to "Axis of Jade". The historical drama aired in March 2026 helped him create a very large gap with his opponents. This drama alone accounted for nearly 1/3 of the male actor's total discussion volume in the rankings.
Despite being controversial, Truong Lang Hach's character still helps attract a large number of fans from many countries to film studios in China to meet their idol.
Vuong Nhat Bac is a rare case, when he is still a hot name despite not filming new TV series or movies for 2 years.
The handsome man born in 1997 ranked 2nd with 210,155 discussion posts. But the most interested work is the documentary "Discovering New Land 2" and the movie released 7 years ago "Command of Love".
Besides movies, the factor that creates Wang Yibo's hotness is his strong presence in the fashion field. The actor receives top treatment from luxury brands. He also holds the role of global ambassador for LOEWE, Chanel and Lacoste.
At Paris Fashion Week, Wang Yibo sat in the front row with the daughter of the Chairman of LVMH Group. His lightly curled long hair also became a hot topic of discussion. Topics related to advertising and brands reached 9,264 discussions.
Meanwhile, in the past year, Luu Vu Ninh has also become a formidable force in the 9X generation of male actors of Chinese cinema. He ranked 3rd in terms of discussion with 175,902 posts.
Liu Yuning's most notable works are historical films, including "Khom lưng" (12,452 posts), "Thư quyển nhất mộng" (7,127 posts), "Nhất niệm quan sơn" (3,516 posts), "Châu liêm ngọc mạc" (2,827 posts).
Luu Vu Ninh's biggest advantage is his multi-platform ability. He also develops in 3 fields of acting, singing and livestreaming, thanks to which he always maintains a very high level of discussion.
In the role of a singer, he was invited to perform at many major programs, standing on the same stage with many A-list stars and impressing with his live singing ability. The topics related to Luu Vu Ninh's concerts and music activities reached 19,269 discussions.
