Jacky Wu Addresses Past Drunk Driving and Unlicensed Driving Controversies at Beer Festival

Taiwanese entertainer Jacky Wu, also known as Wu Zongxian, addressed past legal troubles, including a 2004 drunk driving charge and driving without a license, during his performance at the Kaohsiung Beer Festival. Wu, who appeared as a singer, used the stage to confront the resurfaced criticisms from netizens who questioned his participation in a beer festival following his drunk driving history.

“

Netizens say I drove drunk, but who can be without fault? Knowing mistakes and correcting them, I have changed.

"Netizens say I drove drunk, but who can be without fault? Knowing mistakes and correcting them, I have changed," Wu stated on stage. He humorously added, "I now drink beer, that's why I'm here at the Kaohsiung Beer Festival." He also candidly admitted that at the time of the drunk driving incident, he was unaware he lacked a valid driver's license, calling it a past event.

Wu recounted the 2004 incident, explaining that his driver had taken leave due to his wife's miscarriage, leading Wu to drive himself. He was apprehended shortly after. The entertainer stressed his commitment to serving as a positive role model for younger generations, promising to never disappoint them.

The performance also featured Wu singing popular songs, including Jay Chou's "Blue and White Porcelain" and Huang Dawei's "You Got Me Drunk." He engaged the audience, playfully interacting with them and even making a joke about the upcoming performance by K-pop star Rain, suggesting the audience might leave after his set to support the "local king."
