Definition
追捧 (zhuī pěng) means to enthusiastically pursue, support, or idolize a person, product, or trend — it's about being a fan or following something with great enthusiasm. It differs from 吹捧 (chuī pěng), which means to flatter excessively (often insincerely), and from 称赞 (chēng zàn), which is simply verbal praise. 追捧 implies active following and adoration, not just words.
