Huang Xiaoming (黃曉明) has always been known for his good looks, but his height has always been up for dispute. On his public profile, it lists his height as 179 centimeters (approximately 5 feet 9 inches). However, many netizens believe that his shoes are padded with heightened insoles because he appears to be the same height as other male celebrities who list their height as 175 centimeters. If standing next to another celebrity of a similar height but with a wider frame, Xiaoming appears to be smaller and shorter.
