The story behind the nickname dates back over two decades to a family dinner. When a boxing champion was present, Barbie Hsu, then young, eagerly asked to be taught boxing. She quickly picked up the basics, impressing her sisters. However, instead of sparring, she insisted her sisters take turns punching her in the stomach to test her resilience.

Dee Hsu recalled her initial hesitation to hit hard, fearing injury. But Barbie Hsu's insistence and declaration that she felt "no pain" and had a strong core led her sisters to deliver full-force punches. Even after enduring the blows, Barbie Hsu reportedly wanted a second round, much to Dee Hsu's concern.

I don't feel pain at all and my core is strong.

This incident led Dee Hsu to jokingly dub her sister "BOXER," a name Barbie Hsu readily adopted for her WeChat profile. Dee Hsu expressed that seeing "BOXER" on her WeChat brings back memories of her sister's "stubborn and never-give-up" nature, which she finds both endearing and charming.

My dear sister, always has many stories that make people laugh and cry, and that's why she is so cute and charming.
