Vivian Hsu (Atayal:Bidai Syulan;^[1]Chinese:徐若瑄; born March 19, 1975) is a Taiwanese actress, model, and singer. In 1990, at 15, she won first place in a talent show in Taiwan and formed Girl's Team (1991–1993). At 19, she moved her career to Japan, where she became active on variety shows and formed the band Black Biscuits.^[2] In 1998, she performed on Japan's NHKKōhaku Uta Gassen. Since 2003, she has refocused her career inGreater China.

The second of three children, Hsu was born to aHakka father andTayal Taiwanese mother asHsu Su-chuan (Chinese:徐淑娟;pinyin:Xú Shújuān), and used this name until she began her modeling career. Her parents divorced when she was a young child. She attendedTaichung Jianxing Elementary School and Taipei Shulinguo Junior High School.

Hsu's career started after winning first place in a "Talented Beautiful Girl" contest held by Taiwan'sCTS in 1990. At that point, she was working by delivering food on her bicycle, and her customers began to recognise her from her television appearances. The same year she joined a musical trio named "Girls' Team" (少女隊). They released two albums, in 1991 and 1992, then broke up. Following this, Hsu started modeling.

As a model, she posed in two photobooks titledAngel (天使心) andVenus.Angel, published in 1995, was shot inCapri andSicily.Venus, published on July 7, 1996, was shot in Mexico and had separate runs in Taiwan and Japan.

Hsu's success in modeling achieved its zenith in July 1996 when she was featured on the cover of two biography (the Japanese edition, and the comparatively low-distribution Hong Kong edition). Like the photobooks, both these items have become very sought after by collectors and fans.

Hsu has continued to model for designers such asHang Ten,Gucci and Mode Marie, and has modelled in all three of her brief, autobiographical books:Earth Onigiri (2001),Privacy (2001,ISBN 4-88745-060-5), andWo Ai Taiwan (2002). In addition, most of her musical albums contain substantial inserts featuring new modelling work.

Hsu has appeared in a number of films and television programs both in China and Japan. She appeared in the ambitious 2006 mainland China-Taiwan-Hong Kong collaborationThe Knot, aromance film that takes place between theCCP's takeover of mainland China and the present. Her debut film wasShaolin Popey (1994), acomedy film which became a box office hit in Taiwan and Hong Kong. She also has some experience as avoice actress, having voicedAisha inGundam SEED for three episodes.

Hsu also starred in three Hong Kong Category III motion pictures,Hunting List,Devil Angel andAngel Heart. She appeared in the 2001 filmThe Accidental Spy, withJackie Chan. She played the role of Chao Jiale inLove Storm (2003), alongsideVic Chou andKen Chu. She also composed and sang the opening theme for this series,Decide to Love You (決定愛你), which was released as a single in 2003. As with many actors and actresses, she appears from time to time in commercials and as spokesperson for various causes. In 2006, Hsu played a role in the filmThe Shoe Fairy of Do Do, a modernfairy tale.

Since 2010 she has appeared in television commercials for theaesthetic salon Slim Beauty House, andKao'sEssentialhair care brand line as one of its three newfaces along withYuriko Yoshitaka andNozomi Sasaki.^[3]

Hsu released her first solo single in 1995. She released her first full-length album,Tianshi Xiang (天使想) in Japanese in 1996. Shortly thereafter, she took a crash course in Korean, and released a Korean version of the album titledCheonsa Misonyeo (天使美少女). Unusually, neither of Hsu's first two albums was sung in her native language.

In 1997, with two Japanese comedians—Kyoya Nanami andAmazan—and later with a second female vocalist known as Keddy, she joined the musical act Black Biscuits. The group was formed primarily as a "rival band" for the Japanese music group Pocket Biscuits, which was the creation of the Japanese variety showUtchan Nanchan no UriNari. Between 1997 and 1999, they released four hit singles and a full-length album,Life. Their single CDTiming recorded 1.5 million sales in 1998. They participated inKōhaku Uta Gassen in 1998. Towards the end of the group's run, they failed to accomplish one of the challenges set forth by the variety show and the resulting punishment was the disbanding of Black Biscuits.

During this period, Hsu also released two more solo albums:Da Mafan (大麻煩) in 1998, andBubai de Lianren (不敗の戀人) in 1999. She followedBubai de Lianren with a Japanese translation,Fuhai no Koibito, in 2000. Later that same year she released another new album,Jiaban de Tianshi (假扮的天使).

In 2001, she formed The d.e.p with Masahide Sakuma,Gota Yashiki, Masami Tsuchiya and Mick Karn. The band was short-lived: by the end of the year they had released all the music they ever would. This amounted to two singles and a full-length album,地球的病気 -We Are the d.e.p-.

Over the next two years, she released a few more singles, including, alongside Kazuma Endo ofSiam Shade,Moment, the second opening theme toMobile Suit Gundam SEED, followed in 2003 by her next solo album,The Secret to Happiness Is Love. Her last album isHen Hen Ai (狠狠愛), released in April 2005. Her most recent album isVivi and..., released in September 2006. For this album, Hsu collaborated with many artists and people including Jay Chou, Wang Leehom, Gary Cao, Nicky Lee and even her little brother and uncle.

Hsu returned to Japan after a seven-year absence to release her new singleBeautiful Day on March 3, 2010.^[4]

Apart from being a singer, Hsu is also a lyricist, noted for her collaboration withJay Chou. She also wrote forLeehom Wang,Vanness Wu,Show Lo andGigi Leung.

In January 2014, Hsu got engaged to Singaporean businessmanSean Lee Yun Feng of Marco Polo Marine Limited.^[5] They held a wedding ceremony in Bali, Indonesia on June 26.^[6] Hsu announced her pregnancy in March 2015 via Facebook calling the pregnancy a "surprise" and "heaven sent" and said it came at a time when the self-professed workaholic promised to clear her work schedule in 2015 to focus on starting a family.^[7] On August 13, 2015, she gave birth to a boy, Dalton.^[8] The couple divorced on 10 December 2023, nine years after their marriage.^[9]
