Following the album's release on July 18, Wang began a U.S. tour with stops in Los Angeles, New York and Boston. His busy schedule included media interviews, livestream sessions, promotional appearances and fan meet-and-greets, where devoted followers waited for hours to take photos with the star. The tour will also include a performance at KCON LA 2025 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Aug. 2.

Wang's work extends beyond music — he is also a fashion icon and entrepreneur. Recently, he collaborated with American musician-designer Pharrell Williams on their second joint fashion capsule collection, "Life Is a Race," which sold out quickly.

"He's a legend," Wang said of Williams when asked about potential music collaborations. "He inspired me a lot, not just in music, but also in his mindset of thinking outside the box and doing things differently. I would definitely love to create something together — just waiting for that moment to feel right."

When asked about his message to fans, Wang told China.org.cn: "I want them to know they're not alone when they come across things I came across. As an entertainer, I hope I can also entertain them. Whether it's a song, a show, or a performance."
