Sandy Wu Returns to 'Miss Bu Xi Di,' Gets Emotional Discussing Hosting Pressure

Sandy Wu (Wu Shan-ru) made a return to the variety show "Miss Bu Xi Di," hosted by Dee Hsu (Xu Xidi) and Patrick, where she openly discussed the emotional toll and pressures of guest hosting. The episode featured a heartfelt conversation where Wu shared the significant stress she endured behind the scenes, contrasting with her public image of being sharp and emotionally intelligent.

Upon her arrival, Wu was met with a warm embrace from Dee Hsu, who expressed profound gratitude for Wu's support in stabilizing the show during her absence. This heartfelt acknowledgment moved Wu to tears, prompting Hsu to inquire if her emotions stemmed from the praise or overwhelming pressure. Wu admitted to both, confessing that returning to the stage felt incredibly daunting.

Reflecting on the Golden Bell Awards, Hsu recalled encouraging Wu, who was nominated for hosting. However, Wu's seemingly detached reaction initially surprised Hsu. Wu later explained that she was in a highly tense state, preparing for an upcoming segment, and hadn't fully processed the encouragement at the moment. The realization of Hsu's supportive gesture only hit her after the ceremony, deeply warming her.

Wu also touched upon the intense public scrutiny and negative online comments she faced after her guest hosting stint was announced. She humorously recounted how her manager, angered by the criticism, engaged with online detractors late at night, a battle Wu believes they ultimately lost. Hsu shared her own strategy for dealing with negativity, instructing her assistant to only forward positive news, a tactic that humorously led to no news being shared afterward.
