Early life and education

edit

Chan was born on 16 July 1997 in Taoyuan, Taiwan.[1][2] She developed an interest in becoming an actress at a young age and intended to study performing arts at Hwa Kang Arts School [zh], but her parents objected, not wanting their daughter to move to Taipei and study abroad alone.[1][3] While in high school, she discovered her passion for acting during a school project that involved parodying popular music videos.[4] After graduating, she insisted on moving to Taipei and enrolled in Jinwen University of Science and Technology, where she studied international trade.[2] In her third year, she began working part-time at a restaurant, where a colleague recommended her to a friend who owned a talent agency.[4][2] Starting in 2019, Chan was invited to appear in advertisements and music videos,[5] including Men Envy Children [zh]'s "After Turn My Back" and Fool and Idiot [zh]'s "Hoyde A".[6] After graduating with a Bachelor of Business from Jinwen,[7] Chan decided to pursue acting full-time and attended an 18-month acting workshop hosted by Zhou Xun and Shu Qi in Beijing, China, in 2020.[8] During her time in Beijing, she was cast in a short film but was replaced before filming commenced.[9] In 2022, she gained public attention for starring in the music video for Li Ronghao's "The Dark Plum Sauce".[1][10]

Career

edit

Chan returned to Taiwan after receiving her first acting role as Wang Shih-yun, the girlfriend of Edward Chen's character, in the 2022 crime mystery film The Post-Truth World.[11][12] She joined Ning Chang's talents agency in the same year.[13] In 2023, she starred in the music videos for Hong Kong singer MC Cheung Tin-fu's "Inhale" and "Not My Problem", which earned her recognition in Hong Kong.[14][15] She also secured a minor role in the horror film The Bridge Curse: Ritual [zh] that same year.[16]

In 2024, Chan landed a lead and titular role as Chu Ai, a sex vlogger, in the Netflix sex comedy series Let's Talk About CHU.[17] James Marsh of South China Morning Post praised her performance as "likeable" and convincing to the audience;[18] while Chien Ying-jou described her performance as "refreshing" in her review for United Daily News, comparing it to Lily Collins in Emily in Paris.[19] She won Best Newcomer in a Miniseries or Television Film in the 59th Golden Bell Awards,[20] and named Top Talent by the Taipei Film Festival for her performance.[21] She secured a lead role in the homosexual romance film A Balloon's Landing,[22] and a recurring role as Ms. Pumpkin in the Netflix drama series Born for the Spotlight that year.[23] Chan is set to appear in a lead role alongside Cheryl Yang in an upcoming mystery series.[24]
