By day he carried bricks and distributed fliers, at night he set up a stall on the ground. Out of the members of Fahrenheit, a group that has been in the entertainment industry for three years, Jiro Wang (Da Dong) who has the most hardships due to his family background, finally paid off his family's debt of $NT5 million. His new goal is to buy a larger, more comfortable house for his mother who has raised him by herself. Before he entered the entertainment industry, Jiro who lost his father at the age of 17, risked his life working in order to earn some more money. His record is previously doing four jobs simultaneously, earning money for 48 hours straight without sleeping. And he who likes to look good, didn't have money to buy hair products at the time, so he would use a $6 bottle of glue as hair gel. This situation lasted three years! The four handsome guys of Fahrenheit all regard their hair as their life. On average, one person will use half a bottle of hairspray in one day for an event. However, in order to save money, before he entered the industry, Da Dong's hairspray was the $6 bottle of glue that elementary students used for their work. It sounds unbelievable but Da Dong said, "It worked pretty well, really easy to style. The disadvantage was that washing his hair wasn't as easy because when glue come in contact with hot water, it formed balls on his head like glutinous rice dumplings. His father passed away when he was 17, leaving debts and mortgage totalling $5 million. Adding on top of that, his mother's poor health, young Da Dong knew he had to become independent: by day he carried bricks at a construction site and distributed fliers on the streets during his spare time and when evening came, he set up a stall on the ground on ShuLin North Road selling accessories; often being chased by police. Afterwards, he made contact with the entertainment circle. When he first started, he was an assistant stylist, dressing up and applying makeup to models doing advertisements. Again he worked from early morning until late at night: after shooting till almost evening, he would go directly to a restaurant to work as a waiter, working all the way until midnight. Originally he could rest but at that time, he also worked part-time as a model so after he finished work, he then had to go to the filming location for an insurance ad. Having almost worn out his body, nowadays he must always bring many tonics with him. Da Dong has done all kinds of jobs Ground stalls: Selling accessories, he often met guests who wanted to haggle to the extreme and also had to avoid police Distributing fliers: $NT80 per hour but of some help Carrying bricks: Hard labour in return for money, practise improved his physique Help apply makeup: Help advertisement models apply makeup, fixing up their clothes, work hours were long and had to be there whenever called up Waitering: Arriving at restaurant to waiter, busy until they closed Model: Shooting CFs, MVs.
