An was a model before officially entering the entertainment industry. She appeared on the variety show Guess and subsequently signed with a company. In February 2009, An became a cast member of the political satire show Celebrity Imitated Show: The Largest Political Party, in which she impersonates other celebrities, most prominently singer Kuo Shu-yao.[3][4] In 2011, An was voted the world's sexiest woman in the Taiwanese version of magazine FHM.[3]
She released her first album in August 2011.[3][5] Later that year, she signed a NT$1 million ($42,500) contract with Reebok to become the brand's Taiwanese ambassador.[6] After a year and half in the making, An released her second album in January 2013.[4] In 2014, she was a Taiwan Fund for Children and Families's Child Protection Ambassador.[7] Her third album was released in September 2014.[5] In it, she tried to focus more on "arts rhythm of the steps of a dance" to show a varied aspect of hers in terms of style of music and her appearance.[5]
