Shen Yu lin, the well‑known Taiwanese host, comedian, and producer, made headlines after reports surfaced that he was admitted to the Taipei Tri‑Service General Hospital’s ICU, reportedly in a serious condition.
Media outlets and eyewitnesses noted his pale complexion and pronounced weight loss—he had dropped from 80kg to 63kg over ten months due to a managed health plan. A public notice circulated in mainland media citing fulminant hepatitis and brain edema caused by chronic HBV infection, worsening his condition.
Shen’s team quickly responded: his assistant clarified that he visited the hospital for medical checks and denied entering the ICU. TVBS, the broadcaster of his daily talk show “Chop Chop Show” (11點熱吵店), confirmed they paused his filming schedule to prioritize his health, providing no further details at that moment.
Who Is Shen Yu lin?
Born December 24, 1967, Shen began in TV production before evolving into a prominent on-screen host. He known for his outrageous humor and high-energy presence. He co-hosts Chop Chop Show—a late-night talk show beloved in Taiwan—and earned nicknames like “absurdity master” and “lock‑channel king” for his unique comedic style. Shen has also produced hit variety shows and written humorous songs.
Shen sparked panic when people confused rumors about his alleged hospitalization with his death. Earlier in the year, a controversial promo post joking about his death triggered backlash, which Shen later dismissed as part of his show’s irreverent humor.
Given his long-term HBV (hepatitis B) condition and rapid weight loss, fans and fellow celebrities have expressed concern and support across social networks.
