Life and career

In May 2007, Kuo's father died and she began working part-time at a restaurant to support her family. Two years later, in 2009, she entered show business as a model. After signing with Seed Music in 2007, she debuted as a singer and released a mini album titled Love Hug on 22 August 2007.[1][2]

In 2017, she played the titular character in the supernatural coming-of-age drama The Teenage Psychic. The 6-episode series is an adaptation of the short film The Busy Young Psychic by writer-director Chen Ho-yu. The Teenage Psychic is also HBO Asia's first Mandarin-language original series.[3][4][5]
