According to Ettoday, a Taiwanese court has officially issued a verdict in a widely followed celebrity lawsuit involving actor Zack Fanchiang, his wife Guo Guo, and singer-actor Prince Chiu (former member of the boy group Lollipop).
The case centers on allegations that Guo Guo and Prince Chiu had an extramarital affair, leading to the breakup of Fanchiang’s marriage.
According to the court ruling, after a trip to the United States, Prince Chiu and Guo Guo had interactions that went beyond normal friendship.
The court said the two celebrities were particularly close in public and did not attempt to hide their relationship from the people around them.
Both Guo Guo and Prince Chiu are said to have acknowledged the allegations during the legal proceedings.
As a result, the court ordered them to pay 1 million New Taiwan dollars as compensation to Zack Fanchiang.
The controversy first became public in late 2025, when the China Times reported that Zack Fanchiang had accused his wife Guo Guo of infidelity involving Prince Chiu.
Fanchiang said he started noticing unusual behavior after Guo Guo returned from a business trip to the United States. He later claimed to have obtained evidence suggesting an extramarital affair.
The actor described the situation as emotionally devastating, saying that trust in his marriage had been completely destroyed and that he was ready to face those involved.
In response to the allegations, Guo Guo confirmed that her three-year marriage to Zack Fanchiang had already come to an end. Her representatives said the couple had been separated for a long period and had begun legal discussions on divorce in early 2025.
Guo Guo also said that he attempted to resolve the matter amicably, but that negotiations ultimately failed.
Following the controversy, Prince Chiu’s management company released a public apology statement addressing the situation and expressing regret for the impact caused.
Prince Chiu (real name Chiu Sheng-yi, born 1989) is a Taiwanese entertainer known for his work in hit dramas such as Devil Beside You, Why Why Love and Attention, Love!, as well as his early career as a member of Lollipop.
Zack Fanchiang and Guo Guo got married in 2022 and had a daughter the same year.
The case has since become one of the most discussed celebrity relationship controversies in Taiwan, attracting significant attention due to the involvement of well-known entertainment figures and the legal outcome.
Following the scandal, a philosophical reflection on love and relationships has widely re-emerged online, questioning the difference between emotional connection and formal commitment.
The passage, often linked to the teachings of Courage: The Joy of Living Dangerously, suggests that love is an ongoing experience, while relationships are defined as structured states that can eventually end.
