Taiwanese celebrity Will Liu is stepping into the spotlight on the reality show "Call Me By Fire 2026," but he's not going it alone. Liu recently connected with his close friend, Mandopop king Jay Chou, for some much-needed advice ahead of his appearance.

Live broadcasts are terrifying; your pitch must be perfect. My best advice is don't sing. Do what you're most confident in. The least error-prone thing is your muscles. Show them off and dance along for everyone.

Chou, known for his own musical prowess, offered Liu a rather blunt suggestion: "Live broadcasts are terrifying; your pitch must be perfect. My best advice is don't sing. Do what you're most confident in. The least error-prone thing is your muscles. Show them off and dance along for everyone." The witty remark left many netizens in stitches.

Liu, however, seemed slightly taken aback, responding with a wry smile that he wasn't competing in a bodybuilding competition. He acknowledged he might have to sing a little, but not too much. When Chou learned the show featured an elimination format, he playfully urged Liu to get eliminated quickly so he could return for Chou's upcoming concert.

My concert is coming up soon, you get eliminated quickly and come back.

Despite Chou's teasing, Liu, a former member of the boy band "3.14", has a musical background, having released his own album "Rainbow Paradise." He intends to perform this song for his debut stage, hoping for a strong start. Chou, however, continued to playfully jab, reminding Liu that "Ben Cao Gang Mu" is practically his song, given how often it's played during Liu's popular fitness routines.

'Ben Cao Gang Mu' isn't that your song? Everyone thinks so when you do your fitness routines.
