  “Who are you to say wrong or right? Beautiful or ugly? If you ask me, I would say, I’m insanely beautiful!” (Ugly Beauty lyrics)

 Jolin was born in 1980, in 1999. She released the first album “1019”, which achieved a huge success. Although she has been a commercial success, the criticisms rising overwhelming. Jolin was named “top 10 worse singers”. The media called her “seafood-holic” since she dressed up like “seafood” on the red carpet.    ()

  Also, she’s been criticized as a “thick lips”, when she brought pole dancing, side horse, suspension loop into her music video, and won “the best female singer of golden songs”. The media say it’s a gymnast who won the award, not a singer.

  Jolin Tsai had not responded to the Cyberbullying, she was Insecure, low self-esteem, every time she said her own name would inexplicably want to cry. It was the moment she began to awaken when she was filming the MV of "me," and she looked in the mirror and thought the people in it were particularly strange. From that time, she began to know to love herself and be herself. "Can I not be someone else, but be myself?" ()   

  She also said in her concert:” when people talk about Jolin Tsai, it has a lot of controversies. I know people who hate me as much as who love me, I know it so well, so I learned to shut down the negative voice, I am very proud that my own willpower is very strong.”  

  It is a great need of courage for her to face all the past and to embrace the frailty. what courage is when you face others criticizing that you are not beautiful, you are not good enough, you still have a way to feel that these do not represent your value.  

  People who don’t like you, even if you do well, they will find flaws in any aspect to refute you, so you don’t have to care these people, no one can reach the perfect realm.  

  In the “Ugly Beauty” music video, Jolin reconciled with her past. We can see her dressing up “seafood” outfits again, showing off her “thick lips”, ignoring the media’s body shaming. putting the insulting memes in the video.

  This time, she is not afraid, just like the lyrics say “if you can’t see my beauty, you must be blind. Positive and negative energy, I’ve taken them all in.”  

  Jolin has already made it through, you can do that too.   You can maintain hope for a brighter morning, even during the darkest night, because a new day is on the horizon.
