Hsu released his debut single "Yesterday No More" in 2020 and the next year he released his self-titled debut studio album. In 2022, he was nominated for Best New Artist at the 33rd Golden Melody Awards.

Early life and education

Hsu was born in Taiwan on October 31, 1990, and spent his early education at Zhongzheng Elementary School in New Taipei City, Taipei Municipal Jingmei National Middle School, and Taipei Municipal Fuxing Senior High School. He then attended Chinese Culture University, where he was classmates with Hong Kong actor Sunny Sun (孙阳).[5] Hsu studied at the university's Department of Mass Communication and graduated with a degree in information management.[6]

Career

In 2013, Hsu made his television debut in the Malaysian drama series Dive into Love. In 2015, he studied acting at Q Place, a drama academy established by director Wang Shaudi. He followed this appearing in well-received series Love of Sandstorm and Have You ever Fallen in Love, Miss Jiang? in which he was nominated Best Supporting Actor at the 52nd Golden Bell Awards. Hsu also made performances in Netflix's Nowhere Man and Oscar short-listed A Sun. In 2019, he starred as leading actor in hit series Someday Or One Day. The popular series got him nominated for Best Leading Actor at the 55th Golden Bell Awards, and made him now one of the most sought-after young actors in Asia. In 2020, he released the music single "Yesterday No More". The song immediately landed No. 1 on KKBox charts in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia.[7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]

Endorsements

On July 14, 2022, Italian luxury fashion house Fendi officially announced that Greg became the brand ambassador.[16] [17]

Personal life

In 2021, Hsu expressed support for cotton from Xinjiang and boycotted brands including Nike and Adidas after they released statements expressing concern for human rights issues in Xinjiang.[18] [19] In a statement made through his agent, Hsu said that the companies were attacking and "aimed at defaming China." In government session in Taiwan, a legislator specifically named Hsu and asked Premier Su Tseng-chang about the incident; Su said that "some people have no sense of propriety. Their actions were selfish and showed a lack of understanding for the importance of human rights" and said that Hsu's behavior was against Taiwan's "national interest and disrespectful of human rights."[20]

On August 21, 2024, Hsu announced on social media that he had joined the Taiwanese military to fulfill his 1 year mandatory service requirements.[21] He had enlisted as a military trainee at Cheng-gong Ridge Camp in Taichung, Taiwan, on August 20,[22] and began active service on September 13, 2024, at Zhongxhing New Village in Nantou City, Taiwan.[23]
