==Biography== Zhao was born in Lanzhou, Gansu on August 8, 1994. He attended and graduated from Shanghai Theater Academy and performed as a dancer for ten years. Throughout the years, he participated in many national and international dance competitions, and has also acted as choreographer. Before graduating, the academy wanted Zhao to stay and serve as a teacher, but he was diagnosed with a serious knee injury that forced him to quit dancing.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://yule.sohu.com/20160620/n455293779.shtml|title=赵志伟变身实力派舞蹈家 大秀肌肉曲线|website=Yule Sohu|date=June 20, 2016|access-date=November 30, 2018|language=zh}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://ent.163.com/15/0821/13/B1HUSGHQ000333J5.html|title=赵志伟空降A'N'D粉丝会 被赞最会跳舞的大长腿|website=Netease|date=August 21, 2015|access-date=November 30, 2018|language=zh}}</ref> After that, he decided to become an actor and starred in his first television series, ''KO One Re-member'', in 2016 and officially entered the entertainment industry.
