Kuan Yun-chieh, once a recognizable child star in Taiwan, has resurfaced years later, now 28, working as an office employee. Known for her roles in popular Taiwanese dramas like 'Taiwanese Dramas' and 'Blue Water Lingering,' as well as Jay Chou's directorial debut 'Pandaman,' Kuan's sweet and adorable image left a lasting impression on many viewers.
After gradually fading from the entertainment scene in junior high school, Kuan returned to a regular student life. She recently shared her life journey in an interview with online creator 'Da Tancheng,' revealing her current occupation as a regular office worker. Despite her career shift, Kuan has not entirely let go of her passion for acting.
She continues to participate in theater performance classes and auditions, seeking to rediscover her initial enthusiasm for acting. Kuan fondly recalled veteran actress Liu Rui-chi, who treated her like a daughter during her early career, a warmth that remains deeply memorable.
Kuan also shared her memory techniques for reciting lines, explaining that she transforms dialogue into mental images, making the process easier. She admitted to a period of confusion and self-doubt after leaving the entertainment industry but found renewed confidence and passion through pursuing her hobbies, managing her life diligently, and staying connected to performance-related activities. Now, she balances her life as an office worker with attending exhibitions, dancing, and following her favorite stars, moving steadily toward her goals.
She treated me like her own daughter.
