The Interview with Wu Chun Part I. I think he’s probably the luckiest guy in Brunei to be a superstar internationally. He’s well known as an actor in Taiwan and also a member of the famous boy band Farenheit. And for those who are aware of the Taiwanese drama Hana Kimi and Tokyo Juliet, well, he’s part of the show. How does he managed to juggle as an actor, a singer and a model? I caught up with him at the airport when he was on his way to Sydney for holidays.

Ranz: So being popular in Taiwan, which other region is your band famous at? Or is it different region cater to your drama too?
Wu Chun: At this moment, we have lots of supporters in the countries we have been to such as China, HK, Singapore, Taiwan and I believe many countries know about us and recently, because of my latest drama, Hanakimi which is very popular around the world, I get many supporters even from countries like Brasil, USA, France, Germany and during my trip to Australia this time, I get recognize almost everywhere I go but of course only the Chinese people can recognize me

Ranz: This is a personal question but you can choose to answer or not. Are you seeing anyone right now? or ever thought of settling down? Or you too focus on your entertainment career?
Wu Chun: Career is my number goal so i hope i can do a good job on it BECAUSE I sacrifice too much. My business, my family, the not so stressful life in brunei…
