She was so famous in Japan that up to 20,000 fans turned up to see her at events.
And those were just the women.
Lingerie model Liv Lo has been raising temperatures during her five-year career in the Land of the Rising Sun.
But in August, the 27-year-old Taiwanese raised eyebrows when she gave up her glamorous lifestyle to move to Singapore.
Part of the reason: For love.
Lo has been dating Singapore-based British-Malaysian host Henry Golding for two years.
Golding moved here from London in 2008 and both artistes are signed to Fly Entertainment.

Lo, who has been auditioning for hosting and acting gigs, said: "A lot has happened in two years and we have managed to overcome a long-distance relationship.
"I knew he was someone special when he visited me in Japan once and left a note for me saying if I needed anything, he'd be there for me."
Even cute little gestures get her all giggly.
Said the 1.74m Lo: "We do romantic things for each other, like when I pick him up from the airport, I always hold up a sign that says 'Henry'.
"He's a great cook and he cooks pasta for me. And he bought me closets for my clothes and shoes when he knew that I was moving to Singapore."
Yet one thing Lo still didn't know was when or even if Golding is going to pop the question - even though she feels he is marriage material.
So we took it upon ourselves to play matchmaker.
When told that we were going to ask Golding if he feels she could be a potential wife, Lo said cheekily: "Oh, do help me ask him, I do want to hear what he has to say.
