Taiwanese girl group S.H.E reunite – for Hebe Tien's concert
Tien, 42, is on a Live In Life tour in Taiwan, where she is playing at smaller scenic locations on the island. She performed at the Outdoor Theatre of National Kaohsiung Centre for the Arts (Weiwuying) on June 21 and 22.
The singer posted several throwback photos of her Kaohsiung shows on social media on June 26. They included one of her with bandmates Ella Chen, 44, and Selina Jen, 43. Both Chen and Jen wore the official white T-shirts of the concert.
That photo drew the most number of 'likes' – more than 1,700 – on Facebook, compared with fewer than 400 for the other photos. Tien also posted photos of Chen and Jen entering the venue together.
'The city of Kaohsiung has added different stories to my life, and made me deeply understand the uncertainties of life,' she wrote in Chinese on June 26. 'It has also taught me to deeply cherish the daily life of being able to sing safely and healthily.'
In September 2022, Tien had to postpone her concerts at Kaohsiung Arena for a week after she came down with a bad bout of flu. She then had to cancel her third and fourth shows due to safety concerns following an earthquake in south-eastern Taiwan.
'Thank you, Kaohsiung, for your acceptance and patience, and thank you to my sisters who have been loving and supporting me all the way, and to the friends who came and cheered for me. Kaohsiung is very hot, not just due to the temperature, but also due to everyone's passionate love. '
Formed in 2001, S.H.E left their long-time label HIM International Music in 2018, with the three singers setting up their own management agencies. They said they were not disbanding despite going solo. Their last studio album was 2012's Blossomy.
Tien released her fifth studio album, Time Will Tell, in 2020. It nabbed three awards at Taiwan's Golden Melody Awards in 2021, including for Best Female Singer (Mandarin).
Meanwhile, Chen took part in reality shows such as Ride The Wind 2023, where she emerged the winner, and acted in dramas such as Dr Lifesaver (2023 to 2024) and Us Without Sex (2024). She released her second studio album Bad Habits in 2024.
Jen starred in her first horror movie Funeral (2022) and released her second mini-album, My Own Beauty, in 2022.

HONG KONG – Hong Kong actress Maggie Cheung, who has kept a low profile in recent years, has officially joined Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu. In her debut video on Aug 8, the 60-year-old is seen strolling outdoors, sporting a simple blue tank top and minimal make-up, while sharing why she decided to go online, though her explanation remained vague. 'Many things don't need an answer. Timing is something personal,' she said. 'As long as you feel like it's a good moment, then it's the right moment.' Cheung is famous for acting in movies such as Centre Stage (1991), Comrades: Almost A Love Story (1996) and In The Mood For Love (2000). The star added that her followers can expect content on her account that is 'new', 'fun', 'sentimental', 'very light', 'meaningful' and 'interesting' – just a few of the 25 adjectives she used. Cheung quickly amassed an impressive following, reaching 1.01 million followers as at Aug 18, but some netizens left unkind remarks about her looks. Unfazed, she responded with warmth in the comment section of her video. 'Welcome to my garden. Thank you for your love and support. On the very first day, I have already met so many friends. I personally edited the video for my debut post,' she wrote in Chinese. 'Your comments have made me so happy, encouraging me to keep sharing all kinds of things from my garden with you.' She has since posted two more videos – one of herself taking a walk in Wan Chai district, and the other of her love for flowers. THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK
