JIRO WANG DONG CHENG
Jiro Wang Dong Cheng (traditional Chinese: 汪東城; simplified Chinese: 汪东城; pinyin: Wāng Dōngchéng), nicknamed Da Dong (traditional Chinese: 大東; simplified Chinese: 大东) is a Taiwanese actor and singer. He is currently a member of the boy band Fahrenheit, and is widely known as the male lead in the Taiwanese idol drama KO One (終極一班), as Ah Jin in It Started With a Kiss and its sequel, and Shuichi Nakatsu in the live-action Taiwanese drama, Hana-Kimi (花樣少年少女).
Wang was born August 24, 1981, in Taiwan. He graduated at Fu Shin Trade and Arts College with a degree in Advertising Design . After his graduation he dedicated his life toward 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.[1] Wang 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 lead singer. They have performed a song called 人間逃亡記, lyrics composed by Wang. After that, the band changed the name to Dong Cheng Wei (東城衛). However, the members in the band remain the same.
When he was 18, his father died leaving him to pay his family's debt. That is the reason why he's in so many commercials and models.
