On July 1st, the hashtag "Lay Zhang (Zhang Yixing) knew JJ Lin when he was just 13" surged on the trending list. Who would have thought that Lay Zhang, now a global music sensation, was once "officially recognized" by JJ Lin at the tender age of 13? Back in 2005, on the stage of Hunan Economic TVs Super Boy Academy, a bowl-cut-wearing, shy teenage Lay Zhang stood as a mere contestant, while JJ Lin, seated in the judges panel, declared, "Youll become truly outstanding in four years." That remark not only turned into a prophecy but also became the most inspiring "idol-nurturing" narrative in Chinese entertainment—after all, who could have foreseen that the young boy would one day share the stage with his idol in front of tens of thousands of fans at a concert?

7月1日，张艺兴13岁就认识林俊杰了登上热搜，谁能想到，如今叱咤国际乐坛的张艺兴，13岁时就被林俊杰“盖章认证”过？2005年湖南经视《明星学院》的舞台上，顶着锅盖头的少年张艺兴还只是个羞涩的参赛选手，而评委席上的林俊杰一句“四年后你会变得很优秀”，不仅成了预言，更成了内娱最励志的“养成系”剧本——毕竟，谁能想到当年那个小男孩，如今竟和偶像并肩站在万人演唱会上！

At the 2016 Go Fighting! charity concert, Lay Zhang finally fulfilled his dream of sharing the stage with JJ Lin. During their duet of "Wings," Lay was so nervous that his fingers trembled, and the admiration in his eyes was impossible to conceal. JJ Lins remark, "The first time I saw you, you were only 13," instantly unveiled the magical bond where an "idol became a colleague."

2016年《极限挑战》公益演唱会上，张艺兴终于圆梦与林俊杰同台，合唱《翅膀》时紧张到手指发抖，眼神里的崇拜藏都藏不住。而林俊杰一句“第一次见你时你才13岁”，直接掀开这段“偶像变同事”的神仙缘分。

But the real emotional knockout came at JJ Lins 2025 Beijing concert—Lay Zhang took the stage in a white wing-adorned suit, and the two reunited to perform "Wings" nine years later. On June 30th, JJ Lin posted, "I first met Lay when he was just 13, and now he’s a global music icon." Fans were left in tears, exclaiming, "This wasn’t just a duet—it was the ultimate ‘idol-nurturing’ fantasy come true!"

但真正的暴击在2025年林俊杰北京演唱会上——张艺兴穿着白色翅膀西装登场，两人时隔九年再唱《翅膀》，林俊杰在6月30日发文表示：“认识Lay时他才13岁，如今他已享誉国际乐坛。”，这也让粉丝哭成一片：这哪是合唱？分明是“偶像养成系”照进现实！

JJ Lin revealed that apart from his own albums, the only one hes ever spent money on is Lay Zhangs SHEEP. This move left netizens green with envy, joking, "Top-tier artists endorsing each other—its a full circle moment!" Even more impressive, their first-ever live collaboration on the new song Run Back To You seamlessly blended R&B with electronic elements, earning rave reviews from music critics who hailed it as a "master-apprentice collaboration delivering a dimensionality-crushing performance."

林俊杰自曝除了自己的专辑，唯一花钱买过的就是张艺兴的《SHEEP》，这波操作直接让网友酸成柠檬精：“顶流认证顶流，闭环了！”更绝的是，两人首次现场合作新歌《Run Back To You》，从R&B到电子元素的融合，被乐评人狂夸“师徒联手，降维打击”。
