Yuki Hsu (徐懷鈺; pinyin: Xú Huáiyù) (born March 3, 1979) is a Taiwanese pop singer whose career peaked in the late 1990s. She is perhaps best remembered for the single "Fen Fei" (分飛). Between 1998 and 2001 she scored a series of hits in Taiwan, though she never achieved much fame outside of Asia. Most of her songs were upbeat, catchy, melodic dance tracks, often with oddly childish themes or lyrics. Her song "Angel" even featured a chorus of kids singing along with her. Other well-known Yuki Hsu songs include "Ai De Ding Dong," "Who's Naughty," and a remake of the '90s techno track "Dub-i-Dub." In 1999 she paired up with South Korean rapper Yoo Seung Jun to record the more sophisticated duet "Can't Wait," which brought her some fame outside of Taiwan. She was also notorious for the bizarre and outlandish hairdos she sported in many of her music videos.

After 2001 she stopped recording and turned her career to work in Taiwanese dramas. In 2007 she returned to the pop charts with her new album Bad Girl.

Legal troubles and obscurity

Hsu, faded into obscurity in the aftermath of a legal quagmire, involving contract breaches and negative press cover of her alleged diva behaviour. The court charged her with 2 million NDT, in damages and legal fines, and her mother borrowed money to help them get by.

In 2010, she took on a job as a unpaid paralegal assistant so that she can study legal matters to prepare herself for her legal challenges Hsu is the chief breadwinner of her family with dependant siblings who rely on her income.

Challenges to her attempts at a come back to the stage

In, 2011 Hsu claims that her former manager,Wu Zu Wang, of Dragon Imperium International Film Production Corp, sexual harassing text messages to her. She states has a backlog of such messages.

Hsu was sued for breach of contract when she failed to show up for a concert, and made unauthorized public appearances on Taiwanese broadcasts, as well she may be banned from performing in China in the future.

Two years of stresses from her former managers Dragon Imperium, have suffered tremendous strain on Hsu. She contemplated suicide as a solution.
