Actor Yang Ming-wei engages with fans on social media

Taiwanese actor Yang Ming-wei used a recent typhoon period to interact with fans on Threads, responding to a wide range of personal and professional questions. While promoting his new series ‘新手上路’ (Newbie on the Road), which has reached number two on Netflix Taiwan's daily chart, Yang addressed inquiries regarding his personal life, including his divorce and private matters, with humor and bluntness.

Yang also reflected on his career, noting that he worked with actress Chen Yi-han 20 years ago in ‘I Want to Become a Hard Persimmon’. He responded to comments about his aging by self-deprecatingly stating that playing ‘uncle’ roles after two decades in the industry is a positive outcome. Additionally, he shared behind-the-scenes details about his character in his latest project, explaining that the habit of unbuckling a belt when angry was a creative choice intended to reflect historical disciplinary practices.
