Deng Chao and LuHan’s Viral Friendship Post Brings Calm Amid Chaos

LuHan and Deng Chao’s Bromance Melts Hearts Despite Drama, Fans Beg for Reunion (Weibo)

LuHan and Deng Chao’s brotherly bond is once again giving everyone the warm fuzzies, even while the spotlight’s been throwing some shade their way. Actor Chen He casually spilled the beans on a livestream that the pair recently caught up for dinner, and Deng Chao practically confirmed it with a simple but powerful post on social media: “Just together, that’s all.”

Word is the dinner happened straight after LuHan’s Shanghai concerts (27–28 June), where Deng Chao had already shown his unwavering support — turning up in person, getting involved with the events, and cheering his mate on.

Deng Chao’s Viral Tribute to LuHan

Fans couldn’t help but swoon when Deng Chao’s tearful moment went viral during the finale recording of Hahahahaha Season 5. He got all emotional while singing LuHan’s tune Our Tomorrow, even though LuHan himself wasn’t on set. Netizens reckon it showed how much pressure LuHan’s been under lately, and how real their friendship really is.

LuHan, meanwhile, has been on fans’ worry list thanks to noticeable weight loss during his 2025 tour. People reckon the strain comes from the drama of him missing the latest 5Ha season, after that livestream hiccup which saw him temporarily blocked from Chinese social media. Add to that endless gossip about his relationship status with actress Guan Xiaotong, and you can see why he’s been under the cosh. Still, he’s kept powering on with concerts, proving he’s not about to fade away.

Hopes for a Big Comeback

Plenty of fans are now crossing their fingers for LuHan to jump back in for Hahahahaha Season 6, because — let’s be honest — the trio of Deng Chao, Chen He and LuHan feels incomplete without him. The three have been tight since Keep Running days back in 2015, and their on-screen chemistry on 5Ha only made their bond look even more unbreakable.

One netizen summed it up perfectly: “超赫鹿永远999!” — basically calling their friendship priceless and lasting. Another cheeky comment praised LuHan’s new look: “变了变了，变得更帅更年轻了” (“He’s changed — more handsome, younger!”).

At the end of the day, whether it’s through tears on stage or a quiet dinner behind the scenes, Deng Chao and LuHan have reminded everyone what true mates are supposed to look like in the sometimes messy world of Chinese showbiz. 

Fans? They’re rooting for a reunion, and you can bet they won’t give up shouting for it anytime soon.
