Biography

S.H.E is a Taiwanese girl group famous in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, and other parts of Asia plus in some Asian communities around the globe. The group consists of Selina Ren, Hebe Tian, and Ella Chen.

During 2003, S.H.E's success as a group led them high-profile advertising deals, most notably for Coca-Cola. In 2004, Blizzard Entertainment asked the band to help them advertise their best selling MMORPG computer game, World of Warcraft. The commerical was mostly a computer generated video, where the girls were put into the context of a fantasy gaming world. S.H.E's best hit was released which has topped all charts in Asia is Super Star.

At present, they are one of the most popular groups in Asia. S.H.E has an extraordinary album and concert sales record that have set a new ticketing record at Shanghai People's Stadium during the Perfect 3 Tour. Their popularity was never doubted as autograph sessions were always over-crowded. They have just celebrated their 5th anniversary on the 11th of September,2006 upon marketing their success in the music industry.


On August 8, 2000, HIM International Music held a 'Universal 2000 Talent and Beauty Girl Contest' in search for new artists to be signed under their label. The contest had about 1000 contestants and after many tiring rounds of competing, seven contestants were left for the 'Cruel Stage' round. The three members of S.H.E were formed from here. Following the competition, the record company gave all seven contestants an audition. At the beginning, only one would be given a contract, but because of their incredible performance, all three of them were signed together under HIM International records. Together, they formed S.H.E with Selina Ren, Hebe Tian and Ella Chen.

Selina Ren is the actual winner of this contest. Her younger sister really wanted to join but was too young. Instead, Selina joined the contest in her place. She caught the judges' attention in the first round by singing Coco Lee's 'Before I Fall In Love' and entered the final round with no trouble with 'The Closest Stranger'. Due to her nervousness during the final round, Selina was called twice. When Selina was announced the winner, she was doubtful because there were other contestants who did not get called on.

Hebe Tian was recommended to join by the workers of the television show 'Cruel Stage'. During the first round, her voice started breaking while singing 'Return Home'. Hebe decided to sing a song with a lower key in the final round. However, because she was unfamiliar with that song, she forgot the lyrics in the finals, messing up her performance. Nonetheless, the manager appreciated her straight personality.

When Ella Chen and her younger brother went to Taipei from Pingtung for a holiday, Ella's elder sister registered her into the competition. Ella almost gave up before the first round because of the long queue of contestants, but was convinced by her sister to stay. Ella made her way through the final round due to her unique deep voice, which caught the company's attention and made her stand out from the others.



After the three of them were signed to HIM, the company did not make them a group because their different personalities and looks did not fit with what the audience was used to. However, because Taiwan never had an all-girl group made up of different personalities and appearances, the company thought that the idea would be new and fresh, and boldly put the three girls together. When the three girls initially heard this, they did not really accept the decision because it was not what they had in mind.

All three of them came from different places, never telephoned each other and only said 'Hi' when they met briefly. Because most of the songs in the album did not require them to sing together, their relationship at the outset was not very good, which caused the company some consternation. When the company had them stay in the same room, in the same dormitory, the girls worried that conflict would arise.

Regardless, the company hoped that this situation would help them learn to cooperate with each other. To prevent them from arguing, the record company set a few house rules for the girls living in the dormitory.

After a week, HIM's worries were gone because the three girls grew closer. The three girls lived in a small dormitory together for a few months, which proved a little challenging, as sometimes they would cry under their blankets due to homesickness. As part of their bonding experience, when they were bored, they opened the window, ate junk food, and watched the stars.
