Taiwanese entertainers face business and personal setbacks

Overview

Taiwanese entertainers have faced various business and personal challenges, including financial losses and interpersonal disputes.

Liu Yu-rou reported that her lifestyle brand, MYMICHI, has not reached a break-even point after four years and an initial 5 million TWD investment, partly due to product non-compliance with local non-toxic regulations. Similarly, content creator Guaji announced the cancellation of the 8th annual Zouzhong Awards, citing annual costs exceeding 10 million TWD that became too expensive to personally subsidize.

In other developments, entertainer Chao-ge addressed the repeated closure of his restaurants, attributing the failures to a lack of business capability and his own health struggles, including emergency surgery for colon cancer. Additionally, a dispute emerged involving Jiang Hou-ren, Liao Jen-chieh, and Chiang Wei-shan regarding the credit for medical assistance provided during cancer treatment. Jiang alleged that the Tong Hsin family provided extensive unpaid support, while Liao disputed claims that a single individual should receive sole credit for the recovery.
