Zhang Zhehan Releases Third Physical Album Scavenger and Graces the Cover of Harper's Bazaar Vietnam for the First Time
Actor and singer Zhang Zhehan has officially released his third physical album, Scavenger. At the same time, the album's namesake concert successfully concluded this May in Hong Kong, China. In recent years, Zhang has been steadily advancing his music career, and now, for the first time, he appears on the cover of the July issue of Harper's Bazaar Vietnam. This marks a major step forward in the fashion world and reflects his steadily growing international presence. Scavenger: A Bold Exploration of Diverse Musical Styles As Zhang Zhehan's third solo album, Scavenger features eight carefully crafted tracks, five of which he co-wrote. Explaining the meaning behind the album's title, Zhang says, 'A scavenger is like someone quietly exploring on a lonely planet—bending down, head lowered, always remaining humble while searching for the unknown.' Musically, the album embodies a spirit of exploration and artistic ambition. From operatic vocals filled with theatrical intensity, sharp and rhythmic rap, to melodies inspired by travel and emotionally charged rock, Zhang continues to push his creative boundaries—offering a rich and varied listening experience. Final Track WU: A Three-Part Philosophical Journey The final track on the album, WU, was composed by Zhang Zhehan and written in a single night. The song is structured in three parts: the first, WU (fog), expresses a state of confusion and mystery; the second, WU (enlightenment), symbolizes an intense period of growth and self-realization; and the final part, WU (restraint), returns to calm, conveying a higher state of reason—one where discipline and tolerance lead to true inner freedom. Rather than just a song, WU feels like a meditative journey of introspection and philosophical insight. First International Big-Five Fashion Cover: A Milestone in Cross-Cultural Appeal Alongside his musical accomplishments, Zhang Zhehan is also making strides in the fashion world. His recent cover shoot for the Vietnamese edition of Harper's Bazaar Vietnam marks his first appearance on an international edition of one of the 'Big Five' fashion magazines—a milestone with special significance. The dual-cover spread showcases his distinctive fashion sensibility and expanding global influence. Upon release, the issue received enthusiastic praise and quickly surpassed 100,000 copies in sales, highlighting his strong appeal in the Southeast Asian market. With the release of Scavenger, the success of the namesake concert, and his historic Harper's Bazaar Vietnam cover, Zhang Zhehan continues to chart new territory in both music and fashion—solidifying his status as a multifaceted artist with growing international influence.

Zhang Zhehan's 'Scavenger' Concert in Hong Kong, China: An Immersive Audiovisual Feast
On May 10, Zhang Zhehan's 'Scavenger' themed concert came back to Hong Kong, China, transforming an open-air venue into a futuristic interstellar expanse. With a 50-meter extended stage stretching out expansively, meticulously arranged performances, and dynamic lighting matrices, the event immersed audiences in a surreal journey through a cosmic wasteland, blending art and technology into a multi-sensory experience. Innovative Stage Design, Custom Costumes & Thematic Story The concert's narrative unfolded through three VCR segments, anchored by the theme of 'Interstellar Scavenging.' In the opening act, the scene of a 'spaceship landing on an unknown planet' was depicted. Zhang made his appearance in a robe that was weathered and had a post-apocalyptic look, which was a patchwork of distressed fabrics and indigo-dyed denim. Lying in the center of the stage, he repeatedly whispered " Can you hear me? ", as if in the act of probing for alien life within the desolate landscape. During the fourth segment of the concert,the atmosphere shifted into a mellow and soothing Zhehan appeared on stage wearing a soft pink tailored walked gracefully down the extended stage, the satin ribbon on his collar fluttering like liquid moonlight in the evening breeze. As he sang heartfelt renditions of Lost Glacier and Moonlight, the audience was captivated. The way his silk accessory swayed in sync with the music mirrored the emotional ups and downs of the songs. This fleeting moment between the artist and his admirers created a dreamlike memory, where pastel hues and whispered melodies intertwined under the starlit sky. Hands-On Creative Vision: From Concept to Execution Zhang played an integral role in shaping the concert's artistic direction, from selecting the Scavenger theme to overseeing video production. During filming in desert conditions, he tirelessly rehearsed scenes, enduring sand-filled boots and grit-covered skin. 'It felt like being back on a film set,' he remarked. His creative input extended to visual effects. For the Primordial Theater backdrop, he proposed replacing a static wolf image with a dynamic animation of a snarling beast lunging forward as he sang the final line, 'Please clap and cheer, for you, me, and for all.' After multiple revisions, the team made his vision a reality. Celebrating with Fans: Birthday Wish & Musical Evolution The concert coincided with Zhang's birthday, with fans singing Happy Birthday as he blew out the candles. 'Time flies! I can still remember this day in 2023. It was my first concert in Thailand, and we all had an unforgettable birthday together.' With WU, the final single from his Scavenger album, Zhang rounds off a trilogy that started with Deep Blue and Datura. Over three years, his musical style has developed from lyrical storytelling to a bold combination of electronic rock and experimental genres. Looking ahead, he vows to push creative boundaries–to keep exploring art's possibilities, rooted in his inner voice and the natural world.
