About Li Yuchun
Li Yuchun won the 2005 Super Girl singing competition by an unprecedented landslide of mass SMS votes, becoming the first Chinese pop star created entirely by an audience and triggering a panic about reality-TV influence at state media. Her androgynous look and quiet stage presence redrew the boundaries of what a mainland female idol could be. She has since produced and released conceptually ambitious albums and walked Louis Vuitton runways in Paris.
