Profile
HeZ is a humanoid made of electricity who loves to sing, dance, and eat snacks. His tail doubles as a plug he can use to recharge. He appears to have a close connection with the 52-hertz whale.

History
HeZ created his Weibo account on April 17, 2017.

He started out as a contestant on Wajijiwa and Tencent Video's reality show The Coming One. He first appeared on Episode 3, broadcast in June 27, 2017, where judge Hua Chenyu showed his support for him after his performance, giving him a high score.

In episode 6, through the use of AR and motion-capture technology, HeZ got to perform live and interact with the audience. His appearance in the show was the subject of controversy among Chinese netizens, who believed it was unfair for him to participate, as he was virtual rather than human.

He was eliminated in Episode 12, but returned in episode 15, making a special collaboration with X-NINE, and performing "We Want What We Want".

On January 13, 2018, he was a special guest in the Chaoyin Night concert.

In September 21 of the same year, he released his first extended play, That Whale. Along with it, the "Whale Project" (鲸韵计划) was launched.
