Those of you who have visited a country with a friend who is a local would know that probably don’t have to plan the itinerary. If you’re friend is a good host, all you need to do is sit back, relax and wait for them to take you to the places with the nicest food and best tourist attractions.
That’s how Taiwanese rapper Shou feels every time he visits Singapore and it’s thanks to his W0LF(S) bandmate, Qiu Fengze, who is Singaporean and an “amazing host”, according to Shou.
Well, except last weekend when he was in Singapore alone for the YES 933 Hits Fest.
When 8days.sg met him prior to the show, we couldn’t help but notice the 30-year-old behaving a little less hyper than usual.
Was it because he didn’t have the rest of W0LF(S) with him? The band was formed in 2019 and apart from Shou and Fengze, also includes Nine Chen, Lai and Huang Weijin.
“Yes, it feels quite different,” said Shou, who recently got engaged to Taiwanese influencer Fan Fan Chiao. “Travelling with them makes everything very fun. And I feel more relaxed when performing ‘cos I have fewer parts.”
That said, Shou doesn’t miss his bandmates because he “sees them too often”. Well, except at night when he goes back to an empty hotel room.
“When I return to my hotel after work, I would think: “We ended so early today’. If they were here, we would probably be playing till 4am,” he laughed.
4am?! Would they still have the energy to work the next day?
“Of course!” said the rapper while his manager chimed in: “They always play and work at the same time.”
