According to Dimsum Dailythe hearing took place on Friday. Wang’s legal team submitted a medical certificate from Beijing Shanfan Hospital, citing his health condition as the reason for his absence. The certificate stated that Wang, who has been traveling frequently between Beijing and Taipei to care for family members, was unable to attend. His lawyer noted that Wang would be available to attend court next month.

In response, the prosecutor suggested Wang seek medical treatment in Taiwan and expressed hope for his quick recovery.

The prosecution detailed the case, stating that Wang allegedly leaked Hsu’s personal information, including her home address, bank account numbers, and mortgage details. This incident stems from a 2022 dispute between Wang and Hsu, in which Hsu accused Wang of breaching their divorce settlement by failing to pay child support, as per The Straits Times.

In retaliation, Wang posted on Weibo a breakdown of his “expenses” for their children and household, as well as several social media updates criticizing Hsu, her husband DJ Koo, and her sister Dee Hsu.

Hsu later filed a complaint accusing Wang of violating the Personal Data Protection Act after he shared their divorce agreement on Weibo without redacting her personal information, such as her address and bank account details.

Wang was formally charged in Jan. 2024, and his trial was scheduled for March 19, 2024. Wang contended that it was Hsu who first disclosed their personal and financial details on social media, and he claimed she damaged his reputation by falsely accusing him of neglecting his family and taking sole responsibility for their properties.

Hsu, known for her roles in popular dramas such as “Meteor Garden,” “Mars,” and “Summer’s Desire,” passed away at the age of 49 in Japan due to complications from pneumonia, as confirmed by her family on Feb. 3.

Hsu and Wang, 44, married in 2011 and divorced in 2021, citing “irreconcilable differences.” After the divorce, Hsu and her former boyfriend, 55-year-old South Korean musician DJ Koo, reconnected and remarried in Feb. 2022.

Meanwhile, Wang moved on to marry Mandy Ma, a 26-year-old businesswoman and online influencer, in May 2024.
