Sean Zhang (张亮, Zhang Liang), the papa of Sky, was probably the least well-known of the five when the 'Papa, Where are we going?' started.
Yet his popularity has shot up the most, rising more than tenfold, with the number of fans on his weibo jumping from a 210,000 to a 2,900,000 after merely 4 episodes. He has received the #China'sGoodPapa title, and is currently the top trending keyword on the Chinese internet.
While the average TV audience didn't know much about Sean before the show, many fashionistas have been following him for a long time. He is the No.1 male model in China, and the first ever Chinese model to walk on the Milan Fashion Week runway.
