Former lead singer and guitarist of the band “Defending Band,” Huang Shaogu, has been married to “Weather Girl” member Lin Caiwei for four years, and they have two children. In recent years, he has shifted to the drama industry and has taken on part-time work as a driver to support his family. Recently, he revealed a new role he has taken on, as a “staff member,” earning admiration from many netizens for his diligence and resilience.
In a recent Facebook post, Huang Shaogu mentioned that he has taken on many new “roles” in his work lately: “Sometimes I am an actor, sometimes I am a driver, and lately I am a staff member…” Actor Liu Zhihan commented below the post, praising him for being able to handle various roles with ease, to which Huang Shaogu responded with a “thank you brother”; rising young star Yang Haowei also left a comment, cheering him on with “Bro, you are awesome.”
When fans inquired about when he will make a comeback in the drama “Glory of Love,” Huang Shaogu replied, “I have no idea!” Another netizen asked, “Do you plan to work at a music restaurant and pick up the microphone part-time?” Huang Shaogu replied, “I am no longer a singer~” However, regardless of his current roles, many fans are rooting for him, saying, “No matter what role you take on, just do your best.”
Last month, he was invited to Tang Qiyang’s program, where he was asked why he still drove taxis even with his role in a primetime drama. Huang Shaogu explained, “It’s like having three or four announcements, acting is the same way, maybe you have a part in one episode, but suddenly in the next one, your role disappears.” Therefore, he always worries that one day he might see in the script, “This character has fallen into the sea (no role left to play).” As he enters a waiting period recently, he remains uncertain about when he can return to primetime drama and continues to find ways to support his family.
