Show Luo Fulfills His Diabetic Mother's Dream – Opens a Sweetener (Non-sugar) Dessert Shop Yesterday, Show Luo (Xiao Zhu) held a press conference in Beijing. On the spot, he tried the “Jing 8 Types” dessert and revealed that he will use $500,000 to fulfill his mother’s dream of opening a dessert shop, benefiting diabetes patients like his mother so they can eat sweets. The filial Show said, “But the first priority is her health. She should not over-work.” About 2+ years ago, he held a concert in the Taipei Arena. Closely before the concert was held, his mother was hospitalize due to diabetes and was in critical condition. But fortune always comes after good health; right now she makes scheduled check-ups and tests her diabetes everyday with the home-testing equipment, requiring her to poke her own finger. Show jokingly said, “I wanted to buy her a better diabetes test equipment that costs around NT$280,000, but she told me to just give her the cash.” If album sales are good, will wear Qing Dynasty princess clothing As for the reason for opening a dessert shop, it’s because Luo Mama likes eating sweets. “My mom’s diabetes is a result of her own eating habits; during summer time, she needs to eat two bowls of shaved ice everyday,” said Show. The dessert shop that she wants to start up will exclusively use only sweeteners. People with diabetes can then eat sweets without having to worry. The plan is to open in April, but it might just a breakfast shop or a supplementary restaurant. As for his fashion brand STAGE, right now it has shops in Taipei, Kaohsiung, Singapore, Hong Kong, and is in the process of getting into the Mainland China, Japanese, and American market. With Taipei as the basis for calculation, the average monthly income is more than $1,000,000. Even with the large markets he is in already, he is still putting much effort in increasing it. He just finished promoting “Hot Shot” in Japan and will hold a concert there in April. Yesterday, during the press conference, there were many female servers who were dressed in Qing Dynasty palace outfits, Show said, “If my Mainland sales breaks 500,000, I’ll wear this type of outfit to dance.” It has been many years since Show has communicated with Vivian Hsu. Recently she’s had some contract-related issues with her management company. Show became the attorney assistant, encouraging her by saying, “Remember to not hide from the present situation.” I hope that she will bravely accept the current situation, but at the same time, do not give-up her goals. Show Luo has interracial relationship in new MV: "As long as it's..." Show Luo, whose “Rashomon” album has just come out today, has already topped KKBOX’s MV charts with his second single “Xi Guan Jiu Hao/ As long as I’m used to it”. Although he admits that his English isn’t very good and that he has never thought of dating a foreigner, Show has accomplished an interracial love story in this MV with the help of his record company. In the MV, Show goes to New York alone. Even though his girlfriend has already left him, he still can’t forget their past: sleeping on the coach together; she waking him up; cooking together in a romantic atmosphere. Now he sleeps alone and no one wakes him up. He can only find restaurant leftovers to eat in the refrigerator. As he is lonely, all he can do is sigh in despair. The director used the technique of switching back and forth between the past and present. The two main characters had to film in 2° C for 20 hours until the MV was finished. Staff brought along hot tea and blankets. Instead of complaining of the cold, Show tried to joke handsomely: “It’s ok…as long as I’m used to it…” (pun to song title) It wasn’t until after filming was finished that he got a cold the very next day. Because the main female lead often fainted due to low blood sugar, Show would regularly give her candy to eat and check on her condition during filming. But his English wasn’t good enough so he mixed some Thai with Mandarin to chat with her. His weird accent made her laugh out loud. She couldn’t stop complimenting him for his tenderness and attentiveness. She said that she also hoped for a chance to date an Asian man. On the other hand, Show was afraid his mother couldn’t accept a foreigner. He said: “As long as it’s in the MV, an interracial relationship is fine already!” Source: NextMedia Translation: endlessjoy AF
