FANS of Jay Chou, the King of Mandopop, shared tongue-in-cheek views about their willingness to crawl through the sewers of his concert venue just to hear him sing as his shows are often sold out, Sin Chew Daily reported.
Chou, 45, is slated to perform at the Taipei Arena from Dec 5-8, but his fans were pessimistic about their chances of getting tickets.
Previous concerts of his were sold out in a matter of minutes.
A fan made a joke online that he was planning to get to the concert through the sewers underneath Taipei Arena. He started an event page on social media, encouraging others to join him in finding a way to get to the venue on Dec 5.
The event page received more than 28,000 responses.
“Does anyone have the blueprint showing the sewers at Taipei Arena? Please share them with us,” one user quipped.
Others joked that ticket scalpers would even begin to sell tickets to Chou’s performance from the sewers.
> Taiwanese singer Jam Hsiao, who is getting hitched on Oct 13, will be donating all of his wedding angpow to charity, China Press reported.
The wedding reception of Hsiao, 37, and his longtime manager Summer Lin, 51, will be held at the Taipei Marriott Hotel.
Asked if he would be accepting red packets, Hsiao replied in the affirmative, saying: “The bigger, the better!”
He explained that he would be donating all the money to charity.
“We do not lack anything. This is our way of sharing our blessings with others,” he said.
Hsiao proposed to Lin in June last year. The two secretly dated for 16 years before deciding to tie the knot.
Many Internet users were sceptical about their relationship due to their age gap but the couple appear to be very much in love.
Hsiao made a name for himself after appearing on the Taiwanese reality singing competition One Million Star in 2007.
