TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Yeh Shu-hua (葉舒華), a Taiwanese member of the internationally acclaimed South Korean girl group (G)I-DLE, announced Wednesday (July 30) her appointment as host of the global YouTube program "Inspector" (鑑定師). The entertainer expressed genuine excitement about this career milestone, emphasizing that hosting provides a pressure-free environment while offering meaningful opportunities to contribute to charitable causes through the show's platform. Yeh's selection represents a significant crossover between Taiwan's entertainment industry and Korean media production.
The Korean production team made a special journey to Taiwan for filming, strategically incorporating authentic local cultural perspectives while carefully preserving the program's original creative spirit and format. Yeh showcased her distinctly Taiwanese identity at the press conference, posing playfully with tropical mangoes and a bag of fresh eggplants that highlighted her cultural roots. She promised to deliver a uniquely personal hosting approach unlike previous presenters, while enthusiastically inviting entertainment industry peers to participate in the show's charitable initiatives.
Yeh playfully mentioned that achieving one million views would prompt discussions with the production team about meaningful ways to give back to the show's dedicated audience. She had previously showcased her luxurious South Korean residence on the program, revealing walls adorned with photographs that chronicle her entertainment career journey from Taiwan to international stardom. The star shared her deep affection for her beloved pets, spending thousands of New Taiwan dollars monthly on their comprehensive care and expressing unwavering commitment to their wellbeing.
The program will showcase diverse talent from both Taiwan and South Korea, featuring prominent artists including jazz vocalist 9m88, pop group Energy, actress LuLu (黃路梓茵), singer Moon Lee (李沐), and actor Fandy Fan (范少勳). Yeh expressed particular enthusiasm about potentially inviting fellow Taiwanese K-pop star TZUYU (周子瑜) from the group TWICE to participate should scheduling and circumstances align favorably. This cross-cultural collaboration promises to bridge entertainment industries between the two nations. ◼
