Wu Chun Failed the Ninja Test
Must Eat Sweet Lunch as Punishment

[Hana-Kimi], starring Wu Chun, was very popular when broadcasted in Japan. Earlier, he was invited to participate in the taping of the JPTV variety show [C-Pop World] and visited the origin birthplace of the Japanese Ninjas on location. Although he had some kung-fu training, however in the eyes of the Ninja Master, he was all show but no substance and was punished by eating dessert with rice. This caused Wu Chun to vow that he must have his son learn martial arts at a young age.

Shiga prefecture in Japan was the birthplace of the Ninjas. For the on location experience, Wu Chun followed the masked Ninja master go up mountains and into the sea. Wu Chun who was originally in fairly good physical condition, started to gasp and wheeze after climbing only a short distance of mountainous terrain. However, the Master was still breathing easily. This made Wu Chun very envious and asked the Master directly on how he was able to achieve it. With only his eyes could be seen, the Ninja master laughed loudly: [Because my face is covered by the mask, that’s why you did not see how I sweated.]

Wu Chun laughingly said that when he was filming the martial arts movie [Butterfly Lovers], he learned a lot of fighting stances from Ching Siu-tung, the martial arts director. Ching Siu-tung told him the secret that in filming fighting scenes, he must hit for real and be fierce. Therefore when he was practice-fighting against the ninja, his postures really intimidated his opponent.

However, when he was at target practice with throwing mini-sword darts, he kept missing and in the end was punished with eating chocolate pudding with rice. That was very painful for this Big Stomach King: [Eating these two items together, the taste is really not so good.]

In Japan, Wu Chun had already become popular Taiwan-imported idol. The broadcast rights for [Romantic Princess] in which he starred also was purchased by JPTV. At the end of August, he will go to Japan to promote this drama. His solo Japanese single CD is also anticipated to be released at that time. He has become the new favorite of the Japanese girls.

The food-loving Wu Chun had once tried out a rather famous Beef Noodle shop in Japan. Unexpectedly, this news was spread by Chinese and oversea netizen and now, the restaurant has become a must-see pilgrimage spot when visiting Japan.
