Taiwanese-American singer and actor Vanness Wu recently addressed online concerns after a viral post claimed he had lost an unhealthy amount of weight. The discussion began when Wu shared a photo of himself on social media, prompting speculation among fans that he had reportedly lost around 20 kilograms (44 pounds). Some viewers expressed worry about his appearance, with comments suggesting he looked overly thin and questioning his health.
Wu, best known as a member of the iconic Taiwanese idol group F4 and the Mandopop duo Kangta & Vanness, quickly became the subject of widespread online discussion. The timing of the rumors also led some fans to speculate that the alleged weight loss might have been related to preparations for F4’s upcoming reunion tour, which is set to begin later this year.
In response, Wu reassured fans by posting a lighthearted video addressing the situation directly. Showing his face from multiple angles, he jokingly questioned whether he truly looked that skinny. He clarified that the issue was not drastic weight loss but rather his lack of skill in taking selfies, emphasizing that poor camera angles and lighting can easily distort appearances.
Laughing off the rumors, Wu explained that selfie-taking is an important skill he admittedly does not possess. His playful response helped calm concerns, reminding fans that online images can sometimes create misleading impressions and that his health remains fine.
