Host: Edward Sen: Hi, everyone. Host: You finally released your debut album; please say something about it. Sen: My album “Almost Human” Now I am very nervous cuz I am using another media to meet with you guys, music; I’m not sure how people would like it; I’m anxious about the comments. This album is partially about what I have seen in life. In fact, this album was being prepared since I finished the movie “Your Name Engraved Herein.” Host: really? Sen: And the next year, it was planned to be released. . . . Host: Why not? Sen: (kidding) I’d trouble with my throat. Host: What was the problem? Sen: (kidding/ again?) I was singing badly. Host: You mentioned that the producer used to criticize you didn’t sing OK. Sen: Oh, that’s just kidding. It was because it took a lot of time to collect the songs; for example, what kind of song suited me; some songs were made for dramas but cuz the covid-19, the project stopped. So, the songs were given up and we had to start over searching for new songs. Host: So meanwhile the collection has changed and . . . Sen: Yes, it’s been three years; and now finally it is going to debut for my fans. In this album, therefore, there is the original vocal and the advanced one; both are kept. Host: So, which song was recorded first? Sen: Is bonus included? “Your Name Engraved Herein” was the first one. Host: No, it doesn’t count. Except that, which one? Sen: The one “semi-transparent” was the first one, the original vocal of mine. It’s been three years since it was recorded. Host: Then, the latest one? Sen: (laughing) Surely, “Aloof” Host: Is it the title song? Sen: Yes, it’s very hard to sing it. I’ve under the most pressure when recording it. Host: So, this title song was recorded lately? Sen: This song was recorded for three times. Host: I heard it before it released; it was so hard to sing it. Sen: Yes, very hard to finish it. Host: At the beginning when you thought of trying show buiz, you wanted to be a singer or an actor? Sen: Singer. Host: (surprised) Ha? Sen: To be an actor was not what I had planned for. At that time, the team couldn’t find suitable actor, so I was recruited. Host: How could it possible? Sen: I meant it. (emphasizing) Host: You mean “Red Balloon?” Sen: No, earlier than that. “The New Student from the Northeast.” No suitable cast for the main character. Host: Then how did you become part of this circle? You said no cast could be found; is it your first drama? Sen: Yes, for the first time. Host: How did you join the project? Sen: For the first time, I was allured by the wage NT$1,500, which was very much to me at that time. Host: The first drama? Sen: No, earlier than the drama. A variety show. Host: That time you didn’t have any agency? Sen: No, not yet. The show was about the election of the best out of the handsome school hunks. When they came to me, they told me they gave reimbursement of traffic fare plus NT$1,500. For a high school boy, 1,500 dollars meant a lot. I was so excited about that. Then I showed up in the show and was elected the most handsome school hunk. That was my debut in the show buiz. Host: The show became your first show? And then the first drama is “The New Student from the Northwest?” Why could the crew find no actor for the drama? Sen: I knew the cast personnel because of the show. Every day the guy had to give a report to describe his job. One day, he told me he wanted to put me in the cast. I took it easy and said yes. You know I lived in Taichung. When I was going home by bus, I got a message that I was chosen. A couple days later, I had to go to Beijin to join a press. I was surprised that I should be chosen. I wondered what I was doing during the audition. Then I was in the project and became the protagonist. Host: It was very interesting. I heard lots of cases that someone was chosen by chance and then he or she went very well in the show buiz. Sen: No, not for me. I didn’t go very well for the next chapter. When I was in the crew, I spent 14 days finishing the drama. Every day we called the day by 3:00 am and then started to shoot at 5:00 am. I didn’t have any time to get any sleep. And I had no idea about acting. I didn’t know a scene in the drama needed many “takes” and I had to watch the other actors’ eye when acting. I really had no clue

for what acting was all about. It caused me lots of trouble. And my counter actor was the excellent grad from the drama department, super good at acting. For the first day, the scene was at a overpass, windy, so I couldn’t open my eyes, and then I said, “I have trouble with my eyes.” Host: So, the director didn’t say “cut” and YOU called “stop.” Sen: The director was so angry to say, “How about the protagonist dies first day, and then I can make things become easy.” I said, “Fine, good idea.” (Both laughing) I really had no idea about acting that time. So the other members usually said the lousy actor was coming, how about finishing my part quickly; otherwise, they couldn’t have lunch on time. Host: Then how you felt then. . . Sen: I didn’t feel hurt. I just felt cool; it seemed like playing games at school. Host: I think he has very good EQ. Sen: Well, that time I had very good EQ and felt confident. But now it is quite opposite. Host: So, after you finished you first drama, you thought you didn’t want to be an actor? Sen: No, I didn’t want to be an actor any more. But two days later, I went to the party for wrapping up the drama. After some drinks, I had small chats with deputy director, asking me what kind of talent I had. I told him I had taken violin lessons since my childhood. And he said, “My next movie needs a character who can play the violin.” (Both clapping and laughing) So, I join the new project. But, I didn’t play very well; I played the double of the violinist. Though I played the double, I could take the lesson of acting. By so doing, I became familiar with what acting is. Recalling all these, I found the journey was amazing and interesting. Host: So, you became known to the viewers is because of “Red Balloon?” Sen: Ya, the drama made people know more about me. At sleeping hours, I heard lots of sounds of notifications on my phone. Host: From the violinist double to “Red Balloon,” how long does it take? Sen: One year. It sounds I went very well, right? Host: Right. Sen: But the bad things happened lately. (Both laughing) Host: I am curious what made you think to try “Red Balloon” after the violin double? Sen: Actually, Brother Jan helped me a lot. After I finished the violin double, I said to myself I had to be an actor; I loved acting very much. Host: (surprised) Why? You were just a double in the movie? Sen: Right, but we had very good time when shooting the movie. We lived together and every actor looked very handsome and great. I thought I wanted to be one of them. I, therefore, was into acting, so I told Brother Jan I was so addicted to acting. Then Jan invited me to star in “Red Balloon.” Host: To be honest, I went to the audition of “Red Balloon.” Sen: Really? (Both laughing) Host: The cast asked me if I could be nude when acting. I told them it was ok with me if my back was naked. I thought I might get the chance. But I failed. Well, when you knew that Red Balloon was a BL drama; you know some actors don’t like to play in a BL drama. Do you have any thought about it? Sen: Well, I feel all right. Jason (the other protagonist) and I were good friends and lived together. Host: You mean before the start of the drama? Sen: Ya, before the shooting, we lived in the manager’s house. I am from Taichung, and when I worked in Taipei, Jason and I would live with the manager. I remember that we often eat at a Japanese restaurant. Host: So, you and Jason used to practice how to be lovers at the house? Sen: No, (shaking head hard). At that time we were blank about everything. Jason asked me if I was nervous, bla, bla, bla, and then we finished the drama without any preparation. Very ridiculous! Host: So pure! You said later on you didn’t do well, so meanwhile you had any idea that you quit; forget about all the stuff when you thought everything was not going well. Sen: No, Not really. At that time I was in good mentality. Well, I didn’t mean right now I have psychological trouble. (interrupted by the host) Host: I want to talk about the trouble thing. Sen: Well, the trouble part . . . Host: Ok, you think right now you are having mental problem, or in progress? Sen: Maybe. It seems like I have a feeling about my throat. Something wrong with it, but I still can manage it. Host: Well, no long ago do you feel something wrong with your “throat?” Sen: (seriously kidding) No, after I got positive about Covid-19, I felt well with my throat. Host: (hitting Sen, laughing) I mean “mentality.” Well I follow you IG, I feel that you were under great pressure not long ago. You deleted almost everything on your IG. Sen: Yes. You are right. So? Host: Then did you think forget about everything, giving up; to be an actor is tiring. Sen: I have the feeling that I become clear about what the show buiz is like. It

becomes a clear picture that people used to tell me about this circle. Host: You mean before you became part of this circle some people might give you advice and suggestions what the circle is and what might come to you after you became an actor. Sen: For example, my parents thought this circle was dangerous. But, what has happened to me was not so bad. I still thought I was lucky. The problem was that I didn’t have any preparation for what might happen in this circle; so when I came across this shitty stuff, I was hurt so directly without any precaution. Then I realized what people told me about this circle before, and I became clear about what a celebrity in this circle would be treated. Then I wanted to confine myself in a small zone I feel safe. And I became more and more detached from my work. Host: I know because of shooting a drama, you deleted all in social media. Sen: So? (indifferent) (both laughing) It is easy: find the app and press the app for long enough and then tap X. It’s gone. Host: Well, two things: one is you want to escape from the social media, the other is you want to devote all of yourself to your character. Sen: Well the reason was I was acting in a movie and I wanted to be in a special condition. You know, right now because of the time limit, I couldn’t have enough time to lose weight; so I decided to fast for seven days for the last two scenes of the movie. Host: Because you have to look weak. Sen: Yes. Within the seven days, though I had no intake, starving, I recounted lots of things for my work. I got a new picture of my work. At first I deleted all in social media, for I didn’t want to be bothered by the media and I wanted to stay away social media. You know every day I wake up I open the app I would count how many tags and read them. I care about that too much. Host: I know. In the beginning we became part of the circle just for fun. But gradually things became not what we thought about at first. We started to think I can just do the job for fun; or I have to cover many things before I take any action. I know you suffer much more. Today I really want to ask you a question paparazzi love to follow you. (laughing) Do you feel being bothered by the paparazzi? Sen: I know it’s normal that paparazzi’s job is like that. I didn’t want to hide anything about my privacy. (pointing to the crew) can the three people leave for a while? Host: That’s ok. (whisper) I told them we would talk about this. Sen: Yes. At first we thought it was fun to become an actor and for my passion I want to be part of the circle. But we didn’t know a successful drama or work was not done alone; it was the product of many people’s efforts. And when a drama or a song releases, it is not decided by myself only. A lot of things might be involved, such as fans, the public opinions, my partners, and so on. All is pressure. Not long ago, some people comforted me, saying that the paparazzi like to shoot you, which means you are a popular star. (helplessly) Well, popular, ok, cool. (both laughing) Sen: What bothers me most is after the paparazzi issued the photos on the media, it seems that I have to explain what’s happened and everyone appears uneasy. Host: You mean you have to explain to your team or the public. Sen: All. I believe my team understand what’s happened. But I am thinking they believe me or the media, which is different; and I have to explain the difference. If I am misunderstood, what should I do? I hate the process that people talk about what’s happened to me, examining which part is true, which is fake. Except that, I feel all right to be shot by paparazzi because I know that’s part of my job in this circle. Host: I wonder if you would particularly find and read comments below the clips on YT. I know you can check out the comments on your IG. But how about the clips? Sen: As for this part, I have kept the same mindset since I was into this circle. You know, below the first variety show I put one message there. (The message showed on the screen) Some comment read if my nose was hit by a pan (both laughing). So funny. Yes, my nose is not straight. And in the clip I had dark skin, so the nose became very outstanding. I left a message like this: I am No.bla, thank you for your comments, I can not remember what I wrote, but when I was in a bad mood, I would go to read the message. In fact, below the clip, a lot of encouraging comments, which moved me a lot. I said to myself Oh My God. This is my dream. Host: (laughing) You mean lots of people care about you? Sen: Right, at that time lots of people cared about me. I was so moved. Host: (hesitant) You need to be cared about, right? (Hug each other) After the talk, I feel that you got a lot of scars on your heart. I believe you are pretending you are ok most of the time. Sen: Sure. Host: In this circle, in different projects there are different teams. I believe Haosen is the kind of person that for the sake of teamwork, he would hide his own emotions and thoughts. Sen: I think everyone does that.

Host: No, you are wrong. Some people never hide anything. They just do what they want to do. For the others, I don’t care. Sen: I got a lesson. So, I can become emotional sometime. Host: No way. People would say you are picky, considering yourself is a big role. But, if you hide your emotions for long, you will be sick mentally. Sen: Agree. Then what should I do? Host: So, you are sick right now? I think you are not in a good mood, you’re suffering from stress. Sen: I think I keep telling myself I’m all right. I’m in this kind of mood right now. (Host hugging him), but I think in this way I keep healthy mentally. I look at my conditions from a distance. I am clear what I am right now. Host: You are clear what you are right now. Sen: It doesn’t bother me a lot. Host: But you don’t want to become healthy. Sen: I mean if you want to talk about “something” seriously, I will be emotional, of course. But when I am at work, I hide it (using gesture to show his “heart”) under an invisible line, about one third of my heart. If I touch it, it would become wavy. I know it is there, but I would not stir it. Host: Wow, you need to stir it. After work, when you are alone at home, will you look at the “water?” Will you cry alone? Sen: (moody) Oh, yes. Host: Well, let’s have some drinks (laughing hard) I know when you work with someone, I know he is a good person; we work together in a good way. But when I go home, alone, I will not dilvuge anything in the depth of my heart to him. Do you understand? Sen: (feeling uncertain) I tend to dilvuge my feelings to someone I think a good friend because we are good team members at work. Host: (unbelievable) Ha, but at last you found that it was not like what you thought about. Sen: I realize sometimes I have to know how to protect myself. Host: You are so innocent. Really? (both laughing) You tend to dilvuge all about yourself to someone you think a good friend? Sen: To consider if someone is a good friend is very easy to me. I will not set up some criteria to examine what kind of person can be a friend. If we are together, and I think we can talk to each other in a good mood, I will take him as a good friend. Host: So are you trapped? (Sen silent) Host: Ok. You are. Host: I used to be betrayed. Somebody think I cannot talk openly because I cannot put too much trust on people at work. I did that but I was hurt; so I became conservative. You have to learn how to protect yourself. You can say something personal, but not too private. But you can tell me. I will not set you up. (laughing) Sen: It sounds so familiar. (kidding) Host: Ok. Let’s talk about your work. If you just can choose one part, singer or actor, and do this job for two years, which one you like? Or you choose to quit the show buiz? The priority is you just can do this and quit the other for two years. Sen: (thinking) I love acting because I have been an actor for longer. But if I have to make a choice, I will choose to be a singer. I want to know how it is like to be a singer for two years. Host: I think so. Sen: So you are tired of my acting. You don’t want to see my dramas.( pretending to be angry) Host: I think you can be a good singer. In my mind, when an actor tries to sing, I will say well, ok. But you, not bad. You can sing. Sen: I have “girly” quality in my vocal right? Host: No, I don’t think so. Your vocal is very muscular. And your condition right now is very suitable for the songs in your album. Especially, your title song is very proper for describing what you are now. If you are too happy, you cannot perform the song very well. You are not satisfied with what you are now, right? Sen: Yes. I feel good. I used to be asked which song is “you”? For example, do you have a song to represent yourself? Host: I do. (laughing) I say yes because I have songs particularly for myself only. Sen: Me too (confused) Host: You cannot choose one song that means real you. Sen: Because I don’t understand myself very well. Because I cannot face the real self. Host: Please do it. Why not looking at the real you? Sen: So what? It’s useless after I understand myself. You know after you know yourself very well, you still cannot show the true color at work or in singing. Host: Today, I’m your psychiatrist. It’s useful to know yourself well. Because after you know yourself well, you can put a little in your work, little by little. Your work will become what you want to be. Otherwise, you are just catering to the others. No one, including yourself, cannot know what real chenhaosn is. You know the difference? Sen: I don’t get it. Host: I know because you are not willing to touch that part. You hide your head in the sand. Now you are in everyone’s eyesight. I mean you are at the stage of suffering a lot. I suggest you watching this clip several times. It helps. Sen: (kidding) the number of viewing depends on me, right? Host: I hope you can be mor open-minded. Ok, for a short time, you have to promote your album.
