Thanks a lot Babygil for the info!
Oh, here's a very nice article that Linggluu wrote when someone asked her why she loves Nicky so much. I agree 100% with what she said!

Anonymous asked: Why do u like him so much?
Nicky Wu? please do not doubt my sanity as this is very very very spazzy
1. His voice.
I originally noticed him after following Alec Su, back in 2003 (i was in 5th grade,lol) and my reactions were pretty much “oh hey he’s cute too” and realized while all three them were exceptionally talented at singing and were packaged pretty well to promote as a group, Alec and Zhi Peng had really good sounding mellow voices while he had a higher, unique voice range. I started listening to his music when I realized his voice sounded different than the other two and most singers at the time. (and now. even now, through growing up, vocal cord damage/smoking etc, I can still tell his singing voice anywhere).
2. Filial to his family
Even though I’m a far cry from the poster child of a asian family, I really respect the fact that this guy was filial to his family. Like, he really loves them. Most of his family’s debt (Dad Wu’s failed business/borrowing money from loan sharks) were paid off by him in 12 years. During that time, he pretty much did everything and anything to get the money even if it meant being ridiculed by his own brothers.(they eventually helped pitch in though after realizing how hard he was working) Meaning going through mandarin AND cantonese albums AT THE SAME TIME (he learned a totally different dialect of chinese in just 3 months for his debut in hong kong). And taking up film offers that he and his family didn’t even like. And not sleeping for 7 days straight to work. By the time he was required to go to the army, he had to sell one of his properties just for money to support his family; going to the army meant no income at all. Oh by the way, just before the debt was paid off, he supported his brother and himself through college, on the parts that weren’t covered by scholarships AND paid for his older brother’s wedding. There was this interview that year, I forgot which one it was though, the host asked him how it felt to go home at night after working, and he said something like “I don’t know. I just wanted to go home and see no one sitting there and crying.”
Even though he hated the idea of going in the entertainment circle and doing things like putting on make up and wearing frilly shirts with laces, he still went and did it for his family. This is a gold star in my book of …Asian-ness lol.
3. The way he treats his girlfriends and friends.
From another interview, the host asked him about his opinion on making his relationships public, and Nicky’s reply was “If you like someone, you should give them a title/status. It’s nothing to hide.” This is just lakfdl;asd/. It just shows that he’s not afraid to show who he likes.
Before he and his ex-wife got divorced, he heated up a cup of milk for her every morning, bought her nice clothes, cooked for her, and whenever she needed money, he gave it to her. She was a nobody when they met and he used his own connections to get her jobs.
When he was in the Little Tigers, he took the role of being a big brother seriously (this is the same guy who peed in a cup to give to his little brother to drink by the way). He made sure the other two had done their homework, had enough to eat, got to practice on time. Even then he already knew that CZP felt inferior to himself and Alec and he kept on supporting him and inviting him to do business together. In CZP’s biography, he had written that Nicky went to see him at his concert. I saw the video some weeks ago, and the reporter was like “Nicky, why didn’t you go up and sing?”
And Nicky said, “Why should I sing? This is my brother’s stage, not mine.”
There are also many accounts of him being really loyal to his friends too. On weibo, he posts birthdays, book publications and many more and sends his own fans over to congratulate and support!
Also, I’d like to say that it actually takes very little for him to appreciate/return the love back. All his ex-wife did got to impress him was making soup for him while he was sick.
He cries when he see’s fans supporting him. The bottom line is : shower him with love and affection and he’s basically putty in your hands. Just kidding. But seriously though.
4. He is an amazing boss who pole dances for his employees.
5. The days when his inner 4 year old comes out.
One of the reasons i love him the most. Like faces and the pouting he does on reality programs. And basically ALL the behind the scenes photos of him filming his dramas. And his thing with lollipops oh my god. And his puffy faces. There is honestly at least one puffy face in every single one of his events. I swear.
And his iphone case is a panda one. And when through the paris videos, he’s wearing pink bowties and wiggling his butt and making kissing faces left and right.
He’s also moving around all the time, goodness. flksdfsd
6. He works so so so hard
He doesn’t even have enough to time to sleep . Right now his schedule pretty much rivals the way it was back in the 90s i bet. Filming , and then meetings that end way past midnight, and then interviews and events to rush to during the day. I know this is the schedule for most celebrities but this is also a 41 year old man living on ramen, coffee, cigarettes and less than 10 hours of sleep a week
And added on the fact that he never uses body doubles and injures himself at least once every few months, this is lethal. He also does everything the best he can, hoping to give everyone the best final product. That includes filming and on variety shows even. This is one of the reasons why he became friends with Happy Camp; they were impressed with his determination and sincerity.
He gives everything his all. In the entertainment circle, he’s famous for doing his stunts himself as well as being a workaholic.
7. How much he loves his fans. At every single awards ceremony for the past year, Nicky never failed to mention the word “Pandas”. He keeps the house pandas made for him in his office. And he dedicated an entire photobook for us, and even pulled money out of his own pocket to make it better :\ And he stays on weibo to reply to us. Honestly, I don’t know any other celebrity who stays on a social networking website to reply to his fans at 3AM. And also post on the day of his grandmother’s funeral not to worry and be happy, go on with your day etc. Seriously. What kind of man is this? A family member passed away and he came on weibo to tell us he won’t be on for the day. fsdlkfasd;fds<3 Also, he knows that alot of kids like us will travel to go see him on set, so he specifically warned the more pervy/lecherous staff not to talk to them. On more than one occasion, he specifically saw fans off or sent his manager to see that they left safely.
This is just some of the many reasons why I love him so much; i don’t think anyone wants to read beyond this haha. He’s beautiful inside and out<3
