Huang Zitao just dropped something totally unexpected — and no, it’s not a new song or drama. The former EXO member is currently working on something that might just change the game: a sanitary pad factory.

Yep, you read that right. Zitao took to social media with a video sharing his passion project — building a pad factory from the ground up. Not for profit, not for hype, but because he genuinely wants to do some good.
During his latest livestream, he gave fans an update on how things are going. Turns out, the project’s been quietly in the works for a while. Now, it’s starting to take shape — and he’s not holding back.
Later that night, he made another appearance online, this time with an offer: 50,000 sanitary pad samples to be handed out to the public completely free. He wants people to try them out, share honest feedback, and help shape what could become the final version.
He’s opening up the comment section for suggestions, criticism, ideas — anything that’ll make the product better. Zitao said it straight — this means everything to him.
“This is not just another business. I’m putting everything on the line — my time, energy, reputation, even my future,” he told viewers with visible emotion.
Zitao has previously spoken out about the state of the feminine hygiene industry, especially calling out shady and unethical business practices. In an earlier broadcast, he made it clear he wanted to create something different — something transparent and trustworthy.
He’s aiming to build a brand that prioritises quality, safety, and honesty. Not just another celebrity endorsement deal, but something he’s fully invested in from start to finish.
Interestingly, Xu Yiyang — the singer and former girl group member under Zitao’s agency — has been helping test out the early samples. Her feedback, according to Zitao, has been really useful.
The entire project is being documented in detail, showing fans how seriously he’s taking every stage. From ingredient sourcing to packaging, he wants nothing to be hidden.
Zitao’s gone full hands-on with this. He’s not just investing money — he’s involving himself in research, design, and even public outreach. It’s rare to see someone in entertainment do this kind of thing.
His fans have responded with huge support, praising his bravery and sincerity. But he’s also invited everyone — fans or not — to take part in this journey.
“Even if you’ve never supported me before, this is your product too. I want it to be something all women can trust,” he said.
Zitao’s taking a bold path, and it’s not the kind of PR move you see every day. Whether it succeeds or not, he’s already made an impact just by opening up this conversation.
