Alec Su

Alec Su (born on September 11, 1973 in Taipei, Taiwan) is a Taiwanese pop star and well-known actor in Taiwanese dramas. He became famous as a member of the Taiwanese Idol Band The Little Tigers, formed in 1988, and later for his first Chinese TV series "Princess Returning Pearl" (series 1 and 2).

Alec Su's stardom career started in 1988, at the age of 15, when he joined The Little Tigers trio boy band. The band was the first idol singing group that debuted in the Taiwanese music industry and Alec was labelled as the 'obedient tiger'. Its elevated popularity was unprecedented by any other singing group at the time. The Little Tigers attracted fans from Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, and amongst Chinese communities around the world. The success of the band began the new generation of Taiwanese pop culture in the early 1990s.

Apart from being a singer, Alec Su was often epitomized by the general public as a superior student. He attended Taiwan's number one high school, Taipei Municipal Jian Zhong High School and was accepted into the prestigious National Taiwan University, where he majored in Mechanical Engineering . Alec's experiences describing his high school years, preparing for the Taiwan university entrance examinations while trying to also juggle his performing schedule as a member of a popular singing group, are recorded in his 1995 book entitled "My Days at Jian Zhong / Youth Never Die".

However, as Alec Su became well-known at a young age, he felt that he had lost his freedom as a result of being in the limelight and in the public's eye. At the age of 21, a year before his Uni graduation in Taiwan, Alec Su decided to study abroad in England.
