Singer Aaron Yan returned to the Taipei stage for a fan meeting to promote his album "IKIGAI," marking his first such event in five years. The event saw a strong turnout, with fans eager to see the artist after his extended break.

I really want to [get married], and if he wants to, he will speak up himself. I'm already at this stage.

โ€” Aaron YanDiscussing his desire for marriage with his boyfriend.

Yan, whose relationship with his boyfriend is reportedly stable and sweet, candidly discussed his desire for marriage. He revealed that while he is keen on tying the knot, his partner has not yet committed, often responding that "the time is not right." Yan expressed his respect for his partner's feelings, stating he is ready for marriage and believes his partner would initiate it when the time comes.

The fan meeting also highlighted the album's success, with a previous event in Tainan selling out due to overwhelming demand. Yan admitted he was surprised by the strong sales, attributing it partly to a lack of confidence in himself. He emphasized his appreciation for fan interactions and his practice of signing every album brought by attendees.

It's really that I didn't expect it, the reason I didn't expect it is, of course, I didn't have that much confidence in myself.

Beyond his music career, Yan also manages his own entertainment company, representing artists like Chris Lee and Mini. He made a surprising announcement at the event, revealing he has signed a new, versatile artist who he claims was "assigned by Guanyin Bodhisattva." Yan described the artist as being in their 30s with a clear focus on sports, needing assistance with hosting opportunities. The identity of this new talent will be revealed next Tuesday.

I'm a nosy person, and plus it's Guanyin Bodhisattva, I absolutely dare not refuse.
