Early Life and Education

Lo Chih-hsiang (46 years old) was born in Keelung City, Taiwan, on July 30, 1979. His father is Han Taiwanese, and his mother is Amis, one of Taiwan’s recognized indigenous groups. As an only child in a family of entertainers—his father a show host and his mother a singer—he was introduced to stage life at age three, playing drums in local variety shows.

In middle school, he was overweight (over 100 kg) and nicknamed “Little Pig,” a moniker that eventually became his celebrity nickname. Through determination, swimming, and basketball, he transformed his physique and confidence.

He initially attended Taipei Hwa Kang Arts School but could only complete one term due to financial constraints. He later studied media production at Pei De High School, which further fueled his passion for entertainment.

Personal Life

Show Lo’s relationships have often drawn public attention. He was in a high-profile relationship with Chinese influencer Grace Chow (Zhou Yangqing) from 2015 to 2020. Their breakup in 2020 made headlines after Chow accused him of infidelity with multiple women; Lo issued a public apology.

He remains unmarried and has no children. In March 2025, Lo revealed on social media that his mother is battling Alzheimer’s disease, sharing heartfelt photos and expressing gratitude for fan support.

Career

Show Lo’s career began in 1996 when he won a singing and dancing competition on Taiwanese television. He debuted as part of the boy band Four Heavenly Kings, which disbanded in 1998, followed by the duo Romeo with Eddy Ou, which ended in 2000.

His solo debut came in 2003 with Show Time, which sold over 80,000 copies within weeks and established his signature dance-pop sound. He went on to release chart-topping albums including Expert Show (2004), Speshow (2006), and Rashomon (2010).

In 2006, Lo founded his fashion label STAGE, which expanded across Asia (Taipei, Hong Kong, and Tokyo).

As a host, Lo became a household name through 100% Entertainment, which he co-hosted from 2001 to 2020, earning the Golden Bell Award for Best Variety Show Host in 2017.

His acting credits include popular dramas like Corner with Love (2007), Hi My Sweetheart (2009)—which boosted his pan-Asian fame—and blockbuster films such as Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons (2013), The Mermaid (2016), and Bleeding Steel (2017) alongside Jackie Chan.

After a temporary career pause following the 2020 controversy, Lo made a comeback in 2021 with a new single and his 2024 album Wu Zhuang Yuan, released under Warner Music Taiwan.
