Taiwanese girl group S.H.E, popular throughout Asia in the eight years in showbiz, had always been as close as sisters. Recently there was constant news of their disbanding which had their fans worried. In the end, their record company had to use the promise of [going solo without disbanding] to clear the rumors. As for S.H.E, they also loudly stated that they wanted to make money, wanted to date, wanted to get marry but did not want to retire.
Since their entry into showbiz, the popularity of S.H.E had been rising continually. Their road to success could be described as smooth and easy. The trio with their singing and dancing, was honored as [Heavenly female group of Asia], travelled throughout China, Hong Kong and Taiwan with their concert tours and performances and had so many endorsements that their hands were getting tired. Therefore they were placed in the top three positions in the List of Moneymakers among Taiwanese Artists. Hebe shared humbly: [We did not earn that much money. We are just slightly more fortunate than others in our age group, but not the type that became rich suddenly. We can only say that we did everything that we are supposed to do and earned what we deserved to earn.]
Relationship so good that they had never quarreled
In the past there had been numerous groups that disbanded due to conflicts and discord. However, S.H.E seemed to defy this destiny. Their relationship was so close that they called each other [wife]. The trio even claimed that they never had quarrels. Ella shared: [We always have endless topics to chat about. Politics, family, relationships and even idol dramas could get us start chatting non-stop.] Selina laughingly expressed that it was only due to the fact that renting houses was more troublesome, otherwise they would want to arrange the parents of all three of them to live together.
Recently there was news of S.H.E disbanding that had many fans worried. Their record company sent out calming messages in admitting that while there were plans to have each member [go solo] in releasing albums, S.H.E would definitely not disband. However, looking back in history, it was very difficult for female groups to be long-lasting like male groups. Furthermore, with the economic downturn in recent years, S.H.E also admitted to feel great pressure. Ella expressed: [With the current situation of economic downturn and seeing how everyone is in the same boat, every time we completed a new album, we would also worry that there won’t be an opportunity for another one. But we wanted to do our best for what we have in front of our eyes, regardless of sales being good or not, regardless whether it is popular or not, we still want to make music with sincerity.]
Hope to receive blessing if change in style after marriage
For S.H.E, each day was extremely hectic with work but the thought of stopping had never crossed their minds. Hebe shared: [We wouldn’t know what to do with ourselves after we retired. Although we all passed 25 years old and perhaps not possible to keep on bouncing around as we sing, maybe when the time comes, we will change styles. We will just go with whatever comes naturally.] Would the three [beautiful girls] not consider getting marry and having children? Selina immediately rushed forward to answer: [We would get marry! All three of us are looking forward to marriage. We often discuss among ourselves privately and make guesses on which would be the one to get marry quickest. Even after we have children we would still have gatherings and have fun together. That would be a very good picture.] Selina laughed as she contemplated the picture in her mind. Sitting next to her, Hebe also laughed: [Wouldn’t that be kind of strange? We are like sisters but they would be like brothers and sisters too. This type of relationship will definitely be very complicated.]
Ella frankly expressed that even after they married and had children, she hoped that S.H.E would still be able to continue working but they must learn to balance. As long as they live their own lives in earnest, she firmly believed that their fans would support them with full blessings.
Difference in Personality Complement Each Other
Since this interview took place in a karaoke, whenever there was a spare moment, Ella would select songs, following a Jay Chou song with a Leehom Wang song. When Selina noticed this, she immediately exclaimed that she wanted to sing a Fish Leong song. The two of them kept fighting for the mic and were noisy as anything. Meanwhile, Hebe only sat quietly and listened to the two of them sing. Perhaps that was the secret to their getting along so well. Each personality had its own differences but at the same time complementing each other. That was what made S.H.E so adorable.
