Actually, it's just a matter of strength. Although there is a gap between Fan Zhendong and Malone today, it is not very big, and it is normal to have a strong popularity. In fact, Fan Zhendong himself doesn't care about popularity. After the Olympics, he turned down business and fanatical fans. He repeatedly stated that he was just an athlete and only wanted to play well on the court. He doesn't even have social accounts such as Weibo and Tik Tok. He just wants to treat the little white ball purely. What do you mean by asking this question?
Fan Zhendong has far fewer fans than Malone, but Fan Zhendong has more live fans than Malone. The push of various marketing numbers and the performance on the field during the East Olympic Games made the audience know him. Fan Zhendong, a handsome, young, powerful, rich and lovely boy with a purple star in the sky and a future table tennis leader, is like a male host of an idol drama in the eyes of a little girl, and he likes it more and more. Moreover, Fan Zhendong is new to those who watch the Olympic Games every four years. He may have only heard of the name before but didn't know much about it, so his curiosity will naturally be more understood. It is not normal for Fan Zhendong not to take powder.
As for Malone, Malone Leo has attracted a large number of fans and fans, and everyone is familiar with him. Maybe the desire to know Malone is not so strong. Many of the stalks promoted by the marketing number were four years ago, and there is nothing new. What's more, Malone is married, and his girlfriend powder is naturally less, but the so-called popularity is just an exaggeration. The live broadcast is basically the contribution of girlfriend powder. But this question is quite boring. Fame is of little use to them.
On the whole. Today, Fan Zhendong is the best among young players, and has a certain position in popularity and strength. Over time, when Malone didn't appear on the court, it was basically Fan Zhendong's world at that time.
