On Tuesday (May 24), the 31-year-old announced that he'll stop using his Chinese stage name Fang Weijie and return to using his birth name Fang Weijie.
Okay, you didn't read wrongly. While his stage name and birth name may seem the same when romanised, the homophones take on different meaning when spoken and written in Mandarin.
Ian explained to 8Days that both he and his mother are firm believers of fengshui and his mum decided on his birth name after consultations with fengshui masters.
When probed further, Ian said: "I guess it's like a 'reincarnation' because us Chinese, we believe in the 12-year cycle, and it just happens to line up with the number of years I've been in showbiz. I also see it as a new stage for me to start again."
