Hebe Tien (田馥甄), Selina Jen (任家萱) and Ella Chen (陳嘉樺) were selected during a 2000 talent show co-organized by the record label HIM Inc (華研國際音樂) in Taiwan.
The trio then formed the girl group SHE, an acronym derived from the first letter of each member’s name.
They represent different characteristics — Selina for sweet-nature, Hebe for confidence and Ella for courage.
Their first album Girls Dorm (女生宿舍), released in 2001, instantly became a hit with sales totaling 750,000 copies in Asia.
With popularity always the point, the girls have been dubbed the “Asian Heavenly Girls Group” (亞洲女子天團), just like the other “Heavenly Kings” and “Heavenly Queens” in Mandopop.
In 2007, SHE’s 10th album Play triggered political controversy as many Taiwanese independence advocates reckoned the main song, Chinese Language (中國話), kissed China’s ass.
While some people support the song writer’s idea, saying Americans would not deny they speak “English,” some Chinese netizens also criticized the girls for losing their self-esteem and being interested only in image and money.
Still, the album sold more than 120,000 copies in Taiwan, injecting a ray of hope into the nation’s dim record industry.
Beyond singing, the trio also release books, act in TV series and films, as well as host TV programs.
The three girls are very close even off camera, and supportive of each other. There has been no change in the lineup. They have all reiterated that SHE would never disband although they might present their own works in different areas.
Selina has been co-hosting variety shows on-and-off since 2006, while Hebe launched her first solo album in August 2010, and Ella has been active in TV idol series.
