Vanness Wu's poor Chinese on BWXXT

Pretty boy Vanness Wu recently appeared on veteran host Chang Hsiao-Yen’s game show, BWXXT (Bai Wan Xiao Xue Tang / Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader) and courageously admitted that he can barely read Chinese. As you may all know, Vanness' family moved to the United States when he was very young, so English became his primary language. When he moved back to Taiwan and started a career in showbiz, it was then that he started learning Chinese.

He shared that he frequently reads the entertainment section of the newspaper everyday to improve on his Chinese. “I usually look at the pictures first before reading, and I can only understand forty percent of the content. I still need someone to be beside me and explain it in order to understand it fully.”

This F4 heartthrob also expressed that he has great interest in Art. However, he isn't very good with subjects that require memorization. " Especially History, I don’t know why I just can’t memorize it. I've only started getting familiar with it after growing up.”

Right at the start of the recording, Vanness immediately asked Chang Hsiao-Yen to assist him more with the questions. Despite Chang Hsiao-Yen was trying her best to give him hints, he still got wrong answers, causing her to almost faint in disbelief. Vanness got through four questions before leaving the stage.
