Debut, Company and Website Information
In 1999, Wilber entered 中廣 BCC's "流行之星 [Fashionable Star]" competition. He made it to the finals (Top 8), but did not place in the Top Three.

In 2000, Wilber entered a Los Angeles singing competition sponsored by NMG and BMG. He was not named as one of the 15 who had "advanced" to the next round, but received the prize for "最佳形象獎 [Best Image/Style]" and met directly with the concert's main sponsor, who was, at the time, Andy Lau's manager, to discuss a possible career in the entertainment industry.

In 2001, Wilber returned to Taiwan (after just two weeks in Hong Kong) to begin his entertainment career. In the beginning, he worked as a VJ and TV host on Taiwan's Channel V. He was well-received by the public-- probably due to his easygoing, wise-cracking personality-- and he tried his hand at acting in 2002 with Season 2 of the popular Taiwanese serial, 麻辣鮮師 [Ma La Xian Shi] [Spicy Teacher]. His real dream, however, was to become a singer, and he constantly practiced his singing by himself and in karaoke lounges... in hopes of making this dream come true. In 2002, he was finally allowed to release his debut album.

And the rest... is history!

Do YOU know Will?
1. Wilber naturally has slightly curly hair
2. As I'm sure you've noticed, Wilber LOVES to talk. But did you know that, as a child, he most likely had a mild form of ADD? In fact, the very first phrase of English he learned at school was "Wilber, sit down!" He had spent the entire day running around the classroom!
3. Wilber is EXTREMELY filial. Just as an example, the very FIRST thing he did after he got his cut from his very first album was to pay for his little brother's college tuition.
4. Wilber's father is a well-loved professor. People who aren't even in his classes will sit in on his lectures-- and not because of Will, either! Nevertheless, Wilber's dad is known to give out autographed photos of Wilber as a "reward" for scoring a 100% (sometimes 95% and above) on a test.
5. Wilber snapped one of the ligaments in his leg at a concert in Beijing (十全十美 Perfect In Every Way) in 2004. The doctor actually suggested that he never dance again! But our Will's WILL was strong... and he went diligently through his rehabilitation exercises daily, gritting his teeth against the pain.
6. Wilber LOVES Calvin Klein boxers. He loves them so much that he wears them to pieces! because they're "too expensive to waste."
7. Speaking of which, Wilber is VERY careful about buying things. He once bugged KunDa for a MONTH about whether or not a somewhat expensive bag (KunDa owned one already) was really THAT great.
8. Wilber NEVER, NEVER wears shorts! Because he is said to have seriously muscular legs... and probably cankles. Supposedly, he once wore shorts on an episode of 拍拍走 [Walkin' Around], and netizens immediately started laughing at his "ugly" calves! and asked him not to show them any more. And he hasn't
