‘The Untamed’: The very best Wang Yibo memes ever
The Untamed has sent the internet ablaze thanks to the show’s attractive leads, Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan. When the internet is ablaze, so are the memes. Thanks to the increased international spotlight on Asian entertainment, it’s hard to escape these memes in everyday life. Between Parasite shining a light on Korean cinema, K-pop groups breaking Youtube streaming records, and Korean and Chinese dramas on Netflix for the world to see, the growth of Hallyuwood isn’t just visible in Asia, but worldwide. So naturally, the meme cycle has to cater to everyone. In honor of the love of our lives, Wang Yibo, here’s a collection of wonderful memes about our beautiful boy.
Wang Yibo is puzzled
Look, as lovely as Yibo’s face is to look at, he’s either emotionless or confused as Lan in The Untamed. We’re glad to see that we’re not the only ones to recognize it. His confused face is a good one though.
Don’t mess with Yibo
Correction: Earlier we claimed Yibo only has two expressions of nothing and confused. We apologize for ignoring the face he makes when his wifi Wei is in danger. Yibo makes three expressions in The Untamed: confused, nothing, and angry about his wifi being in danger.
Seungyoun and Yibo are goals!
While Yibo won over most of our hearts during his time in The Untamed, he also was a K-pop star in the group UNIQ. Before he was being shipped with Zhan, Yibo was being shipped with his fellow members like Seungyoun. The group has been on indefinite hiatus since 2018 with no official disbandment, and Yibo dropped the UNIQ prefix from his Weibo handle in March 2026 to focus on his solo identity.
Grab the tissues
We all have that one friend who sits there sobbing over some show you’ve never heard of and how this week it traumatized you. And when we say you have that friend, we mean you are that friend. One of these days, your friends will come over to the dark side and start watching K-Dramas with you. One day.
Handsome Wang Yibo
This isn’t a meme per say, but seeing how much of a little shit Yibo is to his dear co-star is hilarious. Maybe we can get vain Yibo as a meme next?
Wang Yibo's Racing Adventures
Racing has become a prominent part of his public image with recent competitive results, offering fresh visual meme potential. Yibo placed runner-up in the professional-amateur category at the Shanghai 8 Hours Endurance Race 2025 as a member of China’s UNO Racing team. The action shots of him suited up and focused behind the wheel have already started circulating among fans who once only knew him from The Untamed expressions.
Documentary Star Yibo
His hosting and documentary work has earned major awards, expanding beyond acting and K-pop origins. Yibo won Documentary of the Year at Weibo Night 2025/2026 for season two of Exploring the Unknown and was featured at the 2025 China Radio & TV Premium Content Creation Conference. The juxtaposition of award-ceremony footage with his classic puzzled face has become quick meme fuel.
Endorsement King Status
Sustained commercial dominance provides context for why memes and fandom remain strong years later. Yibo ranked number one among artists with the highest number of active endorsements, holding thirty deals as of April 2026, and earned Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia recognition in the Entertainment & Sports category for 2026. Brand campaign stills and fashion-week appearances keep his image everywhere.
Music Milestones
Solo music releases and awards keep the K-pop roots alive in current career narrative. His single “I Am Not Here” received a nomination at the 2025 Asian Pop Music Awards for Song of the Year, reminding longtime fans that the performer who once moved from group activities to drama stardom still keeps the music side active.
Join the fandom
You ready to join the church of K-pop yet? It has cute boy band members and catchy songs, plus sometimes those members go on and do awesome K-dramas. Or so we’ve heard. Yibo’s continued high endorsement count and Forbes recognition show sustained global appeal even as his career has matured with solo focus, racing, and documentaries.
