Singer Alien Huang, known as "A Di," held a fan meeting in Taichung, playfully referring to himself as having a "rain-attracting" physique. This self-deprecating humor comes after his album launch events have been repeatedly hampered by rain, including a typhoon that postponed one concert and downpours at his north, central, and south signature events.

If any place is short of water in the future, just invite me to perform!

"If any place is short of water in the future, just invite me to perform," Huang quipped during the event. He also brought sweet potatoes to the gathering, a nod to his fans' self-given nickname, "Di Guas" (A Di's Sweet Potatoes). He humorously instructed the audience not to throw the sweet potatoes at him on stage, even if his singing wasn't up to par.

Huang expressed his fondness for Taichung, calling it a familiar and cherished place. He reminisced about his time with the group Energy, recalling that his first fan signing event that lasted until midnight was held in Taichung.

You can fry, boil, stir-fry, deep-fry them yourselves, or just plant them and grow your own sweet potato patch.

But if I don't sing well, you can't throw them at me on stage!
