I specially congratulated him. When he won the composer award, I secretly slipped some 'energy drinks' to him.

During a celebration banquet, A-Lin elaborated on her relationship with Chang Chen-yue, explaining that his wife is her cousin. "I've known him since I was very young," A-Lin shared. She also recounted a moment backstage where she discreetly offered him an "energy drink" for support.

His wife is my cousin. I've known him since I was very young. This time he made this album, just like the album title says, following his feelings. Now his focus is on life, which is a great thing for a musician, to record with life.

Chang Chen-yue had a successful night, securing multiple accolades. He was awarded Best Mandarin Male Singer, Best Mandarin Album for "Following the Feeling," and Best Composer for "Wanderer's...". A-Lin commented on his album, noting that he is currently focusing on his life, which she believes is beneficial for a musician, allowing him to draw inspiration from everyday experiences.

I told him backstage too, but he said too much nonsense.
