Biography
Born in Taiwan, she lived in Hong Kong for a while, where she started to play in TV commercials. At the age of 15, she auditioned for the then forming band "4 in Love". She got her nickname "Rainie" as the other band members were "Sunnie", "Cloudie" and "Windie". She was the youngest of the four. The band was considered to make optimistic, happy music, to express emotions.
After the disbanding of "4 in Love", she moved back to Taiwan and have taken more care about her TV and movie career, starring in many teen dramas and TV shows. Now she's coming back to the musical scene as she released her first album in 2005 (My Intuition) with SONY-BMG. Most people think that even if she does not have an exceptional voice, her personality and cuteness makes her really good entertainer, and has a big fan base. When she turned 20, she expressed that she wants to change her "cute" image and start to make more mature productions, on screen and in music as well.
She's been hosting various TV shows, currently "Wo Cai, Wo Cai, Wo Cai Cai Cai" (我猜我猜我猜猜猜 / GUESS, GUESS, GUESS). More recently, during the summer of 2007, she is starring in the drama, Why Why Love
