Musical genius, math idiot
The 21 year old Jay only has a high school education. Even though his father is a biology teacher, his mother a fine arts teacher, but Jay has no talent towards education. He said that when he was little his results paper had more red colour on it than blue colour, regularly he would only get 40% for Maths, all he could do was comfort himself with "People with talent in notes in music, seems like they are not good at Maths".
Serious family hereditary illness
Recently, Jay was diagnosed to have hereditary immune system illness "hereditary ankylosing spondylitis". Because of this he was exempt from the duty of joining the military service. According to reports, this kind of illness outbreaks around 20~40 year olds, once the illness goes into the final phase the whole body will become stiff like a corpse. The sufferer will not be able to freely walk; Jay's uncle has the same illness as him. Jay emphasised that he is currently relying on antibiotic medicine, painkillers and stomach drugs to ease the symptoms of the illness, but he will still often feel the pain of his backbone.
Like wearing caps
Jay likes to collect different caps. Because he thinks that the bridge of caps is very long, it has the wonderful thing of having the same results as sunglasses but with a different approach, it can cover half of his face. "If I lowered my head, then others cannot see my face, my expression, I also don't have to look at others." Jay explained.
A filial son is produced under a club
When Jay was little, his mother could see he had a lot of musical talent, she urged him to play the piano. "Mother had very strict demands for me! Every time I practise playing the piano, she would hold a stick standing behind me. If you said that my musical base is very tight, it is definitely forced out by that stick."
Originally chose to learn the cello
The first musical instrument Jay learnt was the cello. Thinking back to the reason why Jay chose the cello, Jay said without changing his natural male colours: "That time, I saw a very beautiful female teacher play "Twinkle Star Variation", so I decided to choose the cello!"
Use music to chase girls

Jay has dated 8 times He said that he himself in school always had medium homework, his personality was average, the only weapon that moved girls was music. The time that he made a girl most moved was - he wrote a song for a girl he went out with when he was in a chorus competition, when it was her birthday, he sang and played in for her. Without saying anything, his girlfriend naturally was moved to the point of crying like raining!
Jolin Choi can only be a candidate
To the messy love rumours of the outside world, since Jay does not admit it, he will not deny it, only gently say: "I really like Jolin Choi, I often transfer the dolls the fans give me to her. But when you talk about my other half, I hope she is a person outside the circle, this way the pressure we bear will be much less. But, if in the future I do not meet a better girl, I might be with Jolin Choi."
Angered Vivian Hsu
Vivian Hsu has always been Jay's best friend and best partner also, the lyrics for Jay's "Lovable Woman", "Simple Love", "Cannot Speak" has come from this young talented woman's hand. But, when Jay was producing the "Fantasy" album, without notifying Vivian Hsu, he altered the name of "Cannot Speak" without authorization. Even though afterwards Jay apologised and repaid her, but the two's relationship just as usual became deadlocked. Vivian Hsu declined to write on Jay's new album again.
Can't speak English
Alfa Music, the company Jay belongs to, has a lot of ambitions, they want to develop him into a world class artist, but Jay, however, is lacking interest in this. "
NG a line of dialogue over 10 times
Recently Jay filmed a new commercial for Pepsi, thoroughly exposing his defect of clumsy speaking. A simple dialogue "Ask For More" when it went to Jay's mouth it unexpectedly changed into "Ask For Me". The director NGed this scene 12 times before he reluctantly let him pass.
Super football blind
Being the image ambassador of the 2002 China Grade A League Matches, Jay is unexpected a "football blind"! Jay frankly said that he only knows there’s a famous footballer called Hao Dong Hai in Dalian Shide, as for who Fan Zhiyi, he's not too clear.
Write one song, worth $100,000
Following Jay's popularity constantly rising, the price of inviting him to write a song has become an unstoppable hurricane, the newest set price for the R&B heavenly king is HK$100,000 for one new song! But even though he set such a "sky high price", "Jay productions" is still unable to meet demands. His agent company expressed that now inviting Jay to write a song perhaps is already something that cannot be done with spending money, because "his time is limited, we can only control it by price". Alas, remember at that time when Jay wrote "Sound Of Raining" for Judy Chiang, the offer was not even to $20,000!
Jay cries for being poor
According to reports, Jay was the highest earning artist last year, but yet he himself sighs, saying that his agent Jacky Wu drew out 30% of the income. The money earned in a year is not even enough to buy a house to give to his mother! Jacky Wu also admitted it. A few days ago the company did its accounts, they only knew after calculating that they owed Jay $10,000,000 to $20,000,000 of royalties and fees for writing songs and lyrics, they need to slowly repay him back in the future.
