Chen Ya-lan Supports 'Fate Fun' Program Revamp Amid Host Transition

Taipei, June 20 (CNA) — Actor Chen Ya-lan has officially concluded her tenure as host of the long-running variety program 'Fate Fun.'

Chen added a lighthearted note, joking about the shift in dynamics, noting that while she previously managed the flow as host, the team is now adjusting to the new leadership. She concluded by offering professional advice to the new hosts, reminding them that they must continue to refine their craft to remain competitive in a rapidly changing industry.
