SINGAPORE – Taiwanese variety show host Jacky Wu described Singapore as his \u201chometown\u201d at the launch of a new live music club on Saturday, Oct 24, disclosing that he once owned a house in Ang Mo Kio.<\/p>\n
\u201cSingapore (is) just like my hometown \u2026. I love Singapore,\u201d the veteran host, singer and businessman told local reporters in Mandarin, with a smattering of English.<\/p>\n
At a group interview inside the club, he cited the local food and friendly Singaporeans as part of the Republic\u2019s appeal. The 64-year-old joked that he even liked \u201cyour air pollution\u201d, a reference to the haze from neighbouring Indonesia that has descended on Singapore in recent weeks.<\/p>\n
The co-host of Taiwanese variety game show Mr Player (2014 to present) added: \u201cI used to have a big house at Ang Mo Kio.\u201d<\/p>\n
That was 23 years ago and he sold the property because \u201cnobody was living there\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy house in Taipei is even bigger,\u201d he said, adding that his property near Taipei 101, Taiwan\u2019s highest skyscraper, located in its capital city, has a recording studio, cinema room and dance hall.<\/p>\n
Wu is no stranger to Singapore. On Oct 24, he was a guest artiste at the official opening of THE OOOOONE Livehouse in Queen Street, which combines concert-quality live performances with dining. Taiwanese show business honcho Ju Pao, a longtime collaborator of Mandopop megastar Jay Chou\u2019s, curates the singers and shows at THE OOOOONE.<\/p>\n
Wu is performing here at his own solo concert on Oct 25, 8pm, at a cinema hall at GV Grand in Great World shopping mall.<\/p>\n
Wu, who runs wellness and lifestyle brand Bonjour Perfect, will be singing, hosting games, interacting with fans at a question-and-answer session, and talking about quantum water and other wellness products at his show, Jacky Wu Super Livestream Show 2026.<\/p>\n
He made a surprise appearance at a pasar malam (night market) in Clementi<\/span><\/a> on July 20, drawing a crowd of onlookers. He hosted a fan meet-and-greet and performed Taiwanese singer Chen Lei\u2019s classic Hokkien song, Hua Hee Tio Ho (Just Be Happy, 1994).<\/p>\n Taiwanese television host Jacky Wu at the launch of THE OOOOONE, a venue in Queen Street, which offers concert-style music performances and dining, on Oct 24.<\/p>\n ST PHOTO: KELVIN CHNG<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Despite his creative endeavours, Wu declared on Saturday that he has retired.<\/p>\n \u201cI have already retired from entertainment\u2026.. The era is simply not suited for being a celebrity. Even when you do nothing wrong, you are constantly attacked. How can anyone endure being an entertainer in Taiwan?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n His view is that people are judged through the lens of their perceived support for Taiwan\u2019s Blue, Green or White political factions, which have different attitudes towards cross-strait relations with mainland China. \u201cIf you lean even slightly one way, you\u2019re finished.\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Wu has previously spoken about retiring, as far back as 2009.<\/p>\n Wearing sunglasses atop a red cap, and in an all-black shorts, vest and shirt ensemble, Wu said he is focusing on his businesses in the \u201cfourth quarter\u201d of life, a term taken from basketball, where games are often won or lost in the last stages of play.<\/p>\n He has been running businesses, in areas like music, dining and health products, for more than 20 years.<\/p>\n Citing entrepreneurship awards that he won in 2026 and 2025 at the Asia Pacific Enterprise Awards (APEA) 2026 Taiwan, Wu said: \u201cThis award means more to me than a Golden Bell Award. As an entertainer, receiving an award like this is exceptionally rare and I\u2019ve won it two years in a row.\u201d<\/p>\n The Golden Bell Awards, an accolade Wu has won several times, is an annual Taiwanese award ceremony that honours achievements in television and radio production.<\/p>\n Taiwanese variety show host Jacky Wu says he\u2019s still single.<\/p>\n ST PHOTO: KELVIN CHNG<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n On July 18, he shocked fans when he confirmed publicly for the first time that he and wife Chang Wei-wei had been divorced for 12 years<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n He revealed this at his concert in Malaysia\u2019s Genting Highlands. The former couple have three daughters and a son. Eldest daughter Sandy, 36, followed in Wu\u2019s footsteps as a television host, while his son Ricky, 28, is a singer.<\/p>\n Asked if romance is on the cards for him, Wu said he is single.<\/p>\n He quipped: \u201cNo need to search; when fate arrives, it arrives. I\u2019m always working so I have no time to date. Mostly, I\u2019m the one being liked. If I were a woman, I\u2019d want to have Jacky Wu\u2019s babies, too!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n SINGAPORE – Taiwanese variety show host Jacky Wu described Singapore as his \u201chometown\u201d at the launch of a new live music club on Saturday, Oct…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":95593,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2611],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-95592","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-buzz-headlines","wpcat-2611-id"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95592","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=95592"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95592\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/95593"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=95592"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=95592"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=95592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/picture><\/div>
