Wilson Liu

BIOGRAPHY

Wilson Liu is a Taiwanese actor. He attended Da’an Vocational High School and studied applied English at Chihlee University of Technology before moving into acting. He made his screen debut in 2019 as Sun Bo Xiang, one of the main roles in the boys love series HIStory3: Make Our Days Count, and returned to the character for guest appearances in HIStory4: Close to You in 2021. He appeared as Chris in the 2022 series About Youth and took a supporting part in the horror film Minxiong Haunted House the same year. In 2023 he made a guest appearance in Kiseki: Dear to Me. He played the lead role of Chung Han, a mute restaurant worker, in the feature film Locust, which premiered in the Critics’ Week section of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival and later screened at the Morelia International Film Festival. In 2025 he appeared in the film Penguin Girl. He is credited in international festival listings as Liu Wei-chen.

Born on 8 July 1998, he was cast while still in his early twenties as Sun Bo Xiang (孫博翔) in HIStory3: Make Our Days Count (那一天), part of a largely inexperienced ensemble assembled by director Tsai Mi Chieh (蔡宓潔). He was 22 when that role brought him a Golden Bell nomination in 2020. Little else about his working life before that role is documented in press coverage.

In his own words. "It would be that line from my dad. If you are going to act, then act properly." (LINE Corporation press release, 17 September 2020, answering what lay behind his acting when his 55th Golden Bell nomination was announced.)

It dates from 2019.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How far has Wilson Liu's film work travelled?

To Cannes. He leads Locust as Chung Han, a restaurant worker who does not speak, and the film premiered in the Critics’ Week section of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival before screening in Jerusalem, Sao Paulo and Morelia. It was also nominated for Best Original Film Score at the Golden Horse Awards.

When did he actually start working on screen?

The record gives two answers. One entry dates his screen debut to the 2016 film 遲來的讀後感, with commercial work documented from that year onward. Another treats HIStory3: Make Our Days Count in 2019 as his first screen credit. Both are left standing rather than one being chosen.

What did HIStory3 bring him?

A Golden Bell nomination for Most Promising Newcomer in 2020, from a largely inexperienced ensemble assembled by the director Tsai Mi Chieh 蔡宓潔. His co-stars publicly sent him red underwear as a luck charm ahead of the ceremony, which is how the nomination is remembered.

What does he say lies behind his acting?

A line from his father: if you are going to act, then act properly. He gave that answer directly when asked what was behind his work, on the day his Golden Bell nomination was announced.

Which character did he carry into a second series?

Sun Bo Xiang, from HIStory3: Make Our Days Count in 2019 into three episodes of HIStory4: Close to You in 2021. He is one of a small number of performers from that franchise whose character was brought back for a later instalment.

Which agency represents him?

The record names two and does not reconcile them. One field gives Dream Will See Entertainment, another states that he is represented by Free Time Entertainment, 自由試娛樂. Anyone making an approach should treat both as live rather than assume either is out of date.

Which name will a festival programme list him under?

Liu Wei-chen. Taiwanese credits use Wilson Liu, international festival materials use Liu Wei-chen, and film databases also carry 北北, romanised as both Bei Bei and Pei Pei, as an alternative name for him.

Just one promotional portrait is published here, and nothing about showing it shifts any right away from the agency that released it; see our removal policy.
