He didn’t realize who he was.
ZEROBASEONE‘S Zhang Hao is known not only for his immense talent but also for his visual effects. The star made his debut as a center after finishing first in Planet of the Boys.
He is so good that someone tried to cast him even after his debut. The star was at the airport collecting his luggage when someone from another agency asked him whether he had representation or not. Zhang Hao shared the story in a live stream recently.

Was it at the airport? Someone touched me. When I was picking up my luggage, someone came up and touched me, asking if I had an agency. I was so surprised that I just nodded. The person apologized and walked away. I think I made a mistake, though. I should have said, “Don’t you know Zhang Hao?” If they work in intern development, they should at least know Zhang Hao! But I was bare-faced, wearing a mask and a hat, so maybe they didn’t recognize me.

Perhaps the casting agent had a hunch that he might already be an artist or a trainee, since they didn’t ask him if he was interested in becoming an idol. Instead, they asked him if he had an agency! Even fully covered, Zhang Hao must have exuded a special aura!
