Career
She is perhaps best remembered for the single "Fen Fei" (分飛). Between 1998 and 2001 she scored a series of hits in Taiwan. Most of her songs were upbeat, catchy, melodic dance tracks, often with youthful themes or lyrics.
Her song "Angel" featured a chorus of kids singing along with her.
Other well-known Yuki Hsu songs include "Ai De Ding Dong", "Who"s Naughty" (remake of Doctor Bombay song "Calcutta (Taxi Taxi Taxi)"), and a remake of the "90s techno track "Dub-i-Dub". In 1999 she paired up with South Korean rapper Yoo Seung June to record the duet "Can"t Wait", which brought her some fame outside of Taiwan.
She was also famous for the flamboyant and outlandish hairdos she sported in many of her music videos. After 2001 she stopped recording and turned her career to work in Taiwanese dramas.
In 2007 she returned to the popular charts with her new album Bad Girl.
Hsu faded into obscurity in the aftermath of a legal quagmire involving contract breaches and negative press covers. The court charged her with Northwest Territories$2 million in damages and legal fines, and her mother borrowed money to help them get by. In 2010, she took on a job as an unpaid paralegal assistant so that she can study legal matters to prepare herself for her legal challenges Hsu is the chief breadwinner of her family with dependant siblings who rely on her income.
In 2011 Hsu claims that her former manager, Wu Zu Wang, of Dragon Imperium International Film Production Corporation, texted inappropriate (perhaps constituting sexual harassment) messages to her.
She states that she has a backlog of such messages. Hsu was sued for a breach of contract when she failed to show up for a concert and made unauthorized public appearances on Taiwanese broadcasts.
She may be banned from performing in China in the future. Two years of stresses from her former company Dragon Imperium have caused tremendous strain on Hsu.
She contemplated suicide as a solution.
