Taiwanese music veteran Harlem Yu, 63, has returned with a new original single, "Ai Ren A," marking his first release in nine years. The beloved artist, known for his energetic performances and enduring musical career, appeared on the "Na Na Master" show to promote his latest work.

During the program, host Na Na Master paid tribute to Yu by dressing up as "Ha Bao Bao," a humorous impersonation that Yu playfully likened to a "Ji Gong hat," drawing laughter from the audience. The show also featured a medley of Yu's classic hits, including "Try Again," "Make Your Mama Shake," and "Happy Song," which energized the atmosphere.

Na Na Master, a longtime fan who grew up listening to Yu's music, shared his deep admiration for the artist. He recounted how Yu's songs were part of his own early performance experiences. The host prepared a special segment, transforming the show into a game similar to "Million Star," a popular music quiz show Yu once hosted, testing the singer's recall of his own extensive catalog. This role reversal provided much amusement.

Yu performed "Ai Ren A" live for the first time on the show, showcasing his continuous evolution as an artist over his 40-year career. The appearance highlighted his enduring creative energy and his commitment to challenging himself musically. The segment celebrated his journey from classic hits to his newest composition, underscoring his status as a "music prodigy" who constantly innovates.

You look more like a Ji Gong hat!
