For time allocation/energy to do all this work:
Everyone only sees the public events so might think he’s super busy during a certain period of time, but he’s actually always super busy behind the scenes. But he says if you’re doing something you like, working towards a goal you want to reach, as long as you have passion, you will have the energy for it.
#HouMinghao
Talking about his mindset going into the second concert since he’s had experience with one now:
For “Descend”, he decided to add the sword dance and it was received well. He wants to also incorporate historical elements in the next stop. He’s singing “A Promise Becomes A River” so might incorporate the Zhanmadao.
#HouMinghao
He says pets bring us so much emotional value, it’s also important to respect them. For Monkey, except for his weight/appearance, he respects him very much 🤣🤣🤣
#HouMinghao
He hasn’t had spicy foods, cold foods, coffee etc for what seems like 3-4 months now. But nowadays he can allow himself to break this diet.
#HouMinghao
The host praised him for being so nice to fans bc they wanted a second day and he made that happen. Hmh said it’s not bc he spoils the fans, he’d be willing to sing for a week straight, in fact! He’s very thankful that everyone is willing to come hear him sing 🫶🏻

He always makes sure to ask the security guard first before approaching his fans in a public place, ensuring no one gets in trouble. This time, they wouldn't let him get closer to kiwis, but at least he managed to get permission to get a bit closer so they could hear him. Good boy 👍 #HouMinghao
Hou Minghao’s Singer 2026 Car Interview Pt.1
🐱: “They have a feeling like sending me off to school.”
Zyq: “Yeah! Having this kind of companionship is very blessed.”
🐱: “Yes. Like when one has a lot of pressure or it’s before some important event, it’s just able to give you lots of energy.”
Zyq: “To lift up.”
🐱: “But this type, I really don’t recommend! I really don’t encourage this type because it’s very dangerous when someone’s in a car.”
Zyq: “It indeed is a bit dangerous.”
🐱: “How should I refer to you? Zhang laoshi or—?”
Zyq: “I just wanted to ask you what an appropriate way for me to call you is.”
🐱: “To call me? I’m okay with anything. Xiao Hou, Minghao, Hou Minghao. Even Da (big) Hou, Zhong (medium) Hou works. [Xiao (small)]”
Zyq: “What do people usually call you?”
🐱: “Xiao Hou, Minghao. He laoshi sometimes calls me Haohao.”
Zyq: “Okay, Hou laoshi?”
🐱: “Please don’t!”
Zyq: “You’d feel a lot of pressure?”
🐱: “Yes.
Zyq: “I’m Yaqi. You can call me Yaqi.”
🐱: “I know, Yaqi. Is it Yaqi jie or—“
Zyq: “I’m younger than you by 20 days.”
🐱: “Then I’ll also call you Yaqi. It works out perfectly.”
Zyq: “This is the first thing we successfully reached an agreement on, what to call each other.”
🐱: “Sold.”
Yaqi then introduces the banner with puns of good sayings/wishes utilizing the characters of their names.

#HouMinghao’s Interview with #Singer2026 after Ep.5
Q: “Did you expect the results of this week?”
Hmh: “No, no, not at all! How can that be possible? Who dares to think that?”
“My feelings were actually pretty complicated. I held everything in and tried to calm myself down. The moment they called my name was completely unexpected. I genuinely didn’t see it coming. I’d already prepared myself mentally to be standing on that stage, facing a situation where it comes down to 6-pick-3.
But honestly, at that moment, I wasn’t nervous at all. Because by the time I finished singing on that stage, I had already made peace with it. The reason is that after performing so many times, this was the first time I truly felt it was so easy to immerse myself in the music and sincerely connect with everyone through it. For me, that alone has already become one of the most precious experiences of my life.”

Heavenly Father, protect every heart reading this. Remove every burden, silence every anxious thought, and replace despair with Your perfect peace.
Type Amen if you're receiving this prayer today.
A lot of people don't understand this, but there is MASSIVE difference between live singers and recording singers. A lot of time, recording singers don't translate well to live singers.
A modern studio vocal is often a "composite" (comp) of the best syllables, phrases, and notes stitched together from dozens of different takes. And then there is basic pitch correction, precise equalization, compression, and artificial depth to make a thin or unsteady voice sound massive and pristine.
Live singers are moving, dancing, or dealing with adrenaline, which wreaks havoc on breath control. On stage, there is the venue acoustics, crowd noise, and "latency". If their in-ear monitors fail or the stage mix is bad, they literally cannot hear themselves.
This is the reason why the new season of Singer got criticism. Some audience think the singers sing badly, but actually, they just sing in a live broadcast, while in previous, popular seasons, it was pre-recorded. It is different kind of adrenaline rush.
#HouMinghao, when he sings solo, always sings completely live, without vocal backing track. He is a very stable live singer. This is why he dared to go to the audition, and why he passed. And also, this is why, despite he doesn't have any song of his own except OST, people actually paid a lot to attend his concerts, and he is selling out 3 concerts of 10K++ headcounts already, with 1million++ people in waiting for his next concerts.
The joke among kiwi: since they said he is losing fans, we hope we can score tickets now!
