'''Lu Han''' (Chinese: 鹿晗, born April 20, 1990, stylized as '''Luhan''') is a Chinese singer/songwriter and actor, and former member of [[KoreanPopMusic Korean-Chinese]] [[BoyBand boy band]] Music/{{EXO}}. The Chinese Music/JustinBieber was just a regular student who went to Korea for exchange studies in 2010, he was scouted while shopping on the street and consequently became an idol trainee. In October, 2014, Luhan filed a lawsuit against SM Entertainment to nullify his contract and effectively left {{Music/EXO}}, citing health problems and allegedly mistreatment from the company as compared to the Korean members.

Luhan then moved back to China, continuing his career but now as a solo artist, with his first digital album ''Reloaded I'' released in September 2015, selling 880,000 copies on the first day, the highest recorded sales number on the first day of official release and reaching over one million sales on QQ Music, setting the record for fastest digital album sales. His first studio album ''Reloaded'' topped the Tower Records chart in Japan, becoming the only album from mainland China to enter the Top 5 of Taiwan's G-Music year-end chart, and was also certified platinum by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, becoming the first album in mainland China to do so.

In 2014, he was ranked the 6th most popular entertainment star in China by China National Radio. Luhan first appeared on the Forbes China Celebrity 100 list in 2015, ranking 37th. He rose up 35 spots to rank 2nd in 2017, becoming the highest ranked male celebrity in China. In 2017, Lu Han was listed as the second highest-paid celebrity in the Forbes China Celebrity 100 list, behind only Fan Bingbing. He currently holds the [[Literature/GuinnessWorldRecords Guinness World Record]] for the "Most Comments on a Weibo Post", which was established in August 2014 and subsequently surpassed by Luhan himself in September 2015. In 2016, he set a second Guinness World Record for the "Largest gathering of people wearing antlers" at the 2016 Luhan Reloaded China Tour, in Beijing, China.

!Luhan provides examples of the following tropes:
* AuthorAppeal: His song, "Football Gang" is about, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin football]].
* {{Autotune}}: It's prominent in almost all of his music, though it's likely a stylistic choice, as he was EXO-M's lead vocalist.
* BadassBoast: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv8Hgm2d2Gw Roleplay]]", likely addressing his [[StalkerWithACrush sasaeng]] [[LoonyFan fans]], where he warns the listener not to mess with him, and tells the listener that they are scared of him.
* {{Dye Hard}}/{{You Gotta Have Blue Hair}}: Had blonde hair with ''both'' pink and purple ombre for his Reloaded concert.
* FullNameBasis: Lu Han is actually his full name, though some mistakenly claim that "Xi" is his surname.
* GenkiGuy: His friend, Lao Gao, likened him to a monkey, and Lu Han himself describes himself as hyper. Downplayed, as he's pretty laid-back.
* HeroicRROD: As of September 2014, he had to miss 2 upcoming EXO concerts because he was terribly sick from overwork and sleep deprivation. He left SM and EXO because of his health issues.
** Happened again in December 2015, as his many activities and hectic schedule caused his health to deteriorate.
* HotterAndSexier: His solo career compared to his career as an EXO member, where he was known as TheCutie. His solo song "That Good Good" is almost explicitly about sex (though some believe that the song is a TakeThat towards SM Entertainment).
** "Lu" is blatantly about sex, with many euphemisms.
* LovableJock: Pretty good at soccer, and also a good guy.
* MustHaveCaffeine: Watch the first episode of "Hello, is that [=LuHan=]", and you'll see he's a bit of a coffee addict. Understandable, considering his jam-packed schedule and crazy work ethic.
* OfficialCouple: With actress Guan Xiaotong.
* OlderThanHeLooks: Can you believe [[http://data1.ibtimes.co.in/en/full/579479/luhan.jpg this baby-face]] man was 25 at the time the picture was taken?
* SchoolIdol: Apparently was very popular at school before moving to Korea. He had his own fanclub.
* SelfEmpowermentAnthem: His song, "Medals", is about overcoming obstacles to achieve your dreams and bearing your wounds with pride.
* StepfordSmiler: With the way he cheerfully interacted with his fellow members and his playful attitude on camera, nobody knew that he was terribly ill and that he couldn't take being an idol any longer.
* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: His English pronunciation in "Football Gang" is near perfect, considering he spent his entire life in China/Korea.
