Zhang Zhe Han is a Chinese actor and singer working with Beijing Ranyi Music Culture Media. He graduated from Shanghai Theatre Academy and made his acting debut in the 2010 romance series, Why Love You. His first major role was in the 2015 Chinese historical series, Legend of Ban Shu. He starred in notable Chinese dramas Legend of Yunxi, The Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion, and Everyone Wants to Meet You. His role as “Zhou Zi Shu” in famous Wuxia drama Word of Honor gained him significant amount of international recognition. In 2020, he received the Weibo Award for Rising Artist of the Year. In 2021, he received the Weibo Movie Night Awards for the Category Most Watched/Followed Actor of the Year. However, in 2021, Zhang faced significant controversy when old photos surfaced of him visiting locations in Japan, including the Yasukuni Shrine and Nogi Shrine, which are associated with Japan's wartime history. This led to accusations of insensitivity and unpatriotic behavior, resulting in the termination of his partnerships with major brands and the removal of his works from Chinese platforms. Zhang issued an apology, explaining his lack of awareness about the historical significance of the sites, but the backlash severely impacted his career in mainland China.
