Showbiz Veteran Reveals Health Battle, Pre-Planned Will
Taiwanese actor and singer Show Lo (羅志祥) has revealed he was diagnosed with a serious illness and has already prepared a will, according to multiple reports. The 46-year-old entertainer shared the news while promoting his new book, detailing a challenging period in his life.
Lo explained that medication for his condition has caused speech difficulties. He stated he completed his will two years ago, signaling the gravity of his health concerns. The news comes as Lo attempts a career comeback after a period of public scrutiny.
In his book, Lo also expressed gratitude for the support he received from singer Wakin Chiu (邱啟賢) during a difficult time, noting Chiu’s encouragement helped him through a low point. This public acknowledgment highlights the importance of peer support within the entertainment industry.
The singer’s revelation follows similar disclosures from actress Lin Yi-Chen (林依晨), who previously shared she began writing a will at age 20 due to the dangers involved in performing wirework stunts. She described the risks associated with the physically demanding scenes common in Taiwanese television and film.
Recent social media posts have also sparked speculation that Lo may have alluded to issues with the now-disbanded variety show group, “The Man Gang” (极限男人帮). The nature of these comments remains unclear, but they have generated discussion among fans and industry observers.
Lo’s openness about his health struggles and pre-planning for the future marks a personal and professional turning point for the star, who has been a prominent figure in Taiwanese entertainment for decades. The announcement adds to a growing trend of celebrities openly discussing health and mortality.
