Luhan, former member of K-pop boy band EXO, was named the most valuable male star in China on Thursday.

The Chinese idol received The Most Valuable Male Star Award at the 2014 Baidu Moments Conference, held by China’s largest portal site Baidu, in Beijing Thursday.

Luhan’s appearance at the event attracted the media spotlight in China as it was his second official event since he filed a lawsuit against SM Entertainment to terminate his contract.


Earlier, Luhan also appeared at the promotional event for his upcoming film ”Back to Twenty,“ less than a month after he waged the legal battle.

As Luhan accepted the award, he said, “It is thanks to all my fans that I can stand here today.”

The Most Valuable Female Star Award went to Chinese actress Li Bingbing.

The idol-turned-actor’s Chinese rom-com, “Back to Twenty,” a remake of the Korean film “Miss Granny,” is to be released in China on Jan. 15 next year.
