Jolin Tsai On Her Rumoured Romance With Eddie Peng & Why She's Frozen Her Eggs
On 22nd July 2025 (Tuesday), the 44-year-old held a listening party for her new album, attended by fans and media. 'Pleasure' will be released worldwide on 25th July 2025 (Friday), marking Jolin's first album in six years. The 13-track album is based on the concept of pleasure and Jolin's journey of exploration of topics like desire and power from a female perspective.
During the event, the star sat with media outlets to talk about her new album and other topics. One of the questions asked was about her rumoured romance with actor Eddie Peng (彭于晏). Jolin and Eddie previously dated from 2006 to 2009, but separated due to opposition from Eddie's agency. However, earlier this year, allegations surfaced that the pair rekindled their relationship and had been secretly dating for years.
Speaking on this rumour, Jolin laughed and said, 'I don't know how this online story got to this point', indicating that she and Eddie never got back together. The singer also claimed to still be single, despite the rumours of her private life. At the same time, Jolin also revealed her current attitude towards love, saying, 'I deserve to be loved without relying on you. You have to be worthy of me.'
The singer-songwriter also spoke about the other songs on her new album, including one noteworthy track about 'egg freezing' or oocyte cryopreservation. When asked if she considered freezing her eggs, the star revealed that she already had, in consideration for her future. However, she didn't disclose details, saying, 'I don't want to encourage girls to freeze their eggs, I just want to give my future self more choices.'
The other tracks in this project, including 'Woman's Work' and 'Pillow', offer more of Jolin's perspective on societal issues that relate to women. While we wait for the album's release, check out the first two singles from 'Pleasure':

DJ Koo Visits Barbie Hsu's Grave Every Day Since Her Death; Sparks Concerns Over His Well-being
It's never easy to let go of the ones you love, even after their passing. Recently, South Korean star DJ Koo has been drawing concern after netizens revealed that he had been visiting his late wife Barbie Hsu's (徐熙媛) grave every day, rain or shine. Earlier this week, news outlets reported that DJ Koo, whose real name is Koo Jun-yup (구준엽), has been regularly spotted at his late wife's grave at Chin Pao San Cemetery in New Taipei City. According to locals, the singer has visited Barbie every day ever since she was laid to rest in mid-March. The 'Meteor Garden' star passed away on 2nd February 2025 at age 48 due to an influenza-related pneumonia. News outlets began reporting about DJ Koo's regular visits to Barbie's grave after a local posted about meeting the star while visiting the cemetery. The post prompted more netizens to share their stories of meeting the CLON member at Chin Pao San. Fans of Barbie also claimed to have met DJ Koo while visiting the cemetery to pay their respects to the late actress. Most of the posts revealed that the South Korean star would spend hours in front of his late wife's grave. On 29th July 2025 (Tuesday), another netizen posted about seeing DJ Koo at the cemetery, sitting by his wife's grave. In the photo shared, the musician had brought a large umbrella to shield himself from the elements as he stayed by Barbie's side. There are also rumours that the 55-year-old may be looking for a home near the cemetery so he could visit his late wife's grave more often. However, Barbie's mother, Huang Chunmei (黄春梅), denied the allegations. Netizens express sadness over the posts, extending words of support for DJ Koo. However, the news also sparked concern over the star's mental and physical well-being. Many also pointed out that the musician lost a significant amount of weight since his wife's death. For those unaware, before tying the knot in 2022, DJ Koo and Barbie dated from 1998 to 2000. After Barbie's divorce from her ex-husband Wang Xiaofei, the two rekindled their romance. Given their history, it's no surprise that DJ Koo is heavily affected by Barbie's death. However, we also hope he can find the strength to carry on with his life. What are your thoughts on this?
