  • The daughters of Taiwanese celebrity Dee Hsu (Xiao S) are not planning to enter the entertainment industry despite their growing public profiles.
  • Eldest daughter Elly is interested in finance and investment, while second daughter Lily aims for a career in business.
  • The youngest daughter, known as 'Xu Laosan,' is focused on her studies and pursuing higher education abroad.

Despite their mother, Taiwanese celebrity Dee Hsu (Xiao S), being a prominent figure in the entertainment world, her three daughters are charting their own paths, with no immediate plans to follow in her footsteps.

While the eldest daughter, Elly, has already ventured into acting with a role in the drama "Smart Town" and has undertaken fashion and brand collaborations, she and her sister Lily reportedly have their own future plans. They are not intending to pursue long-term careers as artists but rather aim to establish their own businesses and engage in entrepreneurship.

Elly, in particular, has shown a keen interest in financial investments. She has begun exploring the stock market while continuing her studies, seeking to gain experience and accumulate capital for her future ventures. She reportedly consults with her father, who has a business background, on financial matters.

Lily is also prioritizing her education and is contemplating her future career direction, with a focus on the business sector. The youngest daughter, 'Xu Laosan,' who recently celebrated her 14th birthday, is also concentrating on her academic pursuits, with aspirations for higher education abroad, rather than show business.

Dee Hsu has previously stated that she would not oppose her daughters entering the entertainment industry but would not actively arrange opportunities or pave the way for them, emphasizing the need for audience appeal and talent.

If daughters want to enter the entertainment industry, I won't object, but I won't deliberately arrange resources or help pave the way. They need audience appeal and talent.
