  • Taiwanese entertainer "OuDi" Ou Hansheng returns to television after a nearly nine-year absence with a new daily program.
  • He expressed pride in his three daughters but lamented they haven't inherited his dancing talent.
  • OuDi hopes his daughters pursue education first before considering entertainment careers.

Taiwanese entertainer Ou Hansheng, widely known as "OuDi," is making a significant return to television after nearly a nine-year hiatus. He is set to host a new daily variety show titled "Ou Ye Yi Ji Bang." OuDi, who previously stepped back from work to focus on his children, feels his three daughters are now old enough for him to pursue his career again.

Reflecting on his daughters, OuDi shared a mix of paternal pride and lighthearted frustration. While he enjoys watching girl groups and practicing dance routines with them, including hits by Lisa and the K-pop group ILLIT, his daughters show little interest in following in his footsteps as a "King of Dance." He humorously suggested they might be shy because their father is too good a dancer.

Wow! So much explosive power, she's a child with a lot of performance spirit.

โ€” Ke JiayanKe Jiayan praised OuDi's eldest daughter's acting skills after she humorously imitated having a stomachache.

Despite their lack of interest in his dancing, OuDi revealed his eldest daughter possesses a strong flair for performance. Her comedic timing and acting skills, particularly an impression of having a stomachache, even impressed Golden Bell Award-winning actress Ke Jiayan, who is her godmother. OuDi hopes Ke Jiayan will make an appearance on his new show, promising a special segment tailored for her.

Looking ahead, OuDi maintains a strict approach to his daughters' futures, emphasizing the importance of a solid education before they venture into the entertainment industry. He wants them to have a "meal ticket" and the discernment to make wise choices, avoiding the struggles he faced during leaner times. Currently, his daughters are busy with outdoor activities like rollerblading and basketball, with minimal screen time, as he believes they should focus on these pursuits before exploring AI or other technologies.

Of course, she's the first person I thought of. She's busy right now, but when the time is right, she should come support me.
