About
Jiro Wang is a Taiwanese actor and singer for the famous band Fahrenheit. He is widely known for his role as the male lead in the Taiwanese idol dramas KO One, as Ah Jin in It Started with a Kiss and its sequel, and as Xiu Yi in the live-action Taiwanese drama, Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu.
Jiro was born on August 24, 1981, in Taiwan. He graduated from Fu Shin Trade and Arts College with a degree in Advertising Design. After his graduation, he dedicated his life to the entertainment business. He was first asked to join the entertainment business because of his good looks and singing talent that he showed at a singing competition. BMG, the label that signed him, planned to package him with Jay Chou and Jordan Chan to form a boyband called 3J, but because of 9/11, BMG's stocks crashed and the 3J plan was scrapped. Wang Dong Cheng then decided to continue his career in the industry by working backstage, mainly in charge of fashion designing and other designing necessities, as well as commercial modeling. He was approached again around 2004 when his acting career began.
He speaks fluent Hokkien and Mandarin and understands conversational Cantonese and English.
He used to play in an underground band named Karma as a lead singer. They have performed a song called 人間逃亡記, lyrics composed by Wang. After that, the band changed its name to Dong Cheng Wei. However, the members of the band remain the same.
Jiro Wang was the first member to join Fahrenheit. He is the baritenor vocalist of the group. His publicized temperature is that of a hot summer, at 95 degrees. He also represents "Hot". His fellow members include Wu Chun, Aaron Yan, and Calvin Chen.
