Xukun

Xukun is a Mandarin Chinese given name used for males. In Chinese naming, it is typically formed by two characters and the meaning varies with the characters chosen to write it. The pinyin transcription is Xukun, and different spellings or characters may yield different nuances.

The most prominent public figure associated with the name is Cai Xukun (蔡徐坤), a Chinese singer, dancer, and actor. Cai Xukun rose to national prominence after finishing first on the 2018 reality show Idol Producer and subsequently became the leader of Nine Percent, a boy group formed from the competition. Following Nine Percent, he pursued a solo career in music and expanded into acting and other media work, maintaining a high profile in Chinese popular culture and on social media.

Because Chinese names can be written with various characters that share the same pronunciation, Xukun can refer to other individuals who use the same given name but with different characters and meanings. As a result, the name Xukun does not point to a single person beyond context, but rather to a name used by multiple people across different fields in Chinese-speaking communities.
