Early life
editZhan was born on 21 August 1998 in Taiwan.[1][2] He grew up in the Sanzhi District of New Taipei City,[3] and worked part-time at a café in Qianshuiwan since high school.[4] Zhan was exposed to acting during junior high and high school,[5] and he also began writing music in his freshman year.[6] At the age of 15, he was discovered by a talent agent while shopping in Ximending and was invited to audition for Meeting Dr.Sun ,[7][8] where he won the role, making his acting debut at 16 in 2013.[6][9]
Career
editZhan made his acting debut alongside Matthew Wei as the male leads, Lefty and Sky, in the 2013 historical comedy film Meeting Dr.Sun .[7][10] James Marsh of Screen Anarchy praised their performances, stating they did "a great job of winning [the audience's] sympathies",[11] and Zhan received a nomination for Best Newcomer in the 9th Asian Film Awards for his role.[12] Following his breakout role, he starred as the titular character Egg Boy in the romance film My Egg Boy ,[13] and landed a main role as Trumpet in the PTS television series The Sweet Place in 2016.[7][14] However, Zhan stepped back from showbiz to pursue a music career that same year,[15] releasing a rap song for LGBTQ+ rights and working as a professional rapper, sharing his music on YouTube.[6][8] Zhan mentioned that the reason for his fade-out from acting was his mandatory acting classes imposed by his agency, which caused him to lose interest and develop a fear of performing, and he only began to recover from this during his rapping career.[16] During this time, he also worked at construction sites,[6] citing the "flexible schedule" as a reason.[17] In 2022, he was named Top Talent by the Taipei Film Festival.[18]
