[Entertainment Channel/Comprehensive Report] On the 4th, well-known host Tsai Kang-yong made a low-key appearance at the inauguration meeting of the Democratic Progressive Party’s Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang’s campaign headquarters. Wearing a hat and a mask, he sat in the audience and held a "Taipei Get Up" cheering stick. Interviewees said that this trip is to understand the opinions of all parties, and the team is also considering visiting the two candidates for Taipei mayor.

Some netizens posted on Threads that they first knew Tsai Kangyong from watching his reading program in the early 1990s when cable TV was just starting to emerge. They thought he was quite promising, but they had little contact with nonsense variety shows like "Kangxi Is Coming" hosted by "Little S" Xu Xidi.
