Who is Jeremy's other half (Part II)?
(News taken from February 2004)
One evening, during the month of February 2004, Jeremy and a cute blond short hair girl were seen eating at Taipei's well-known Thai Food House.
Jeremy encountered his first love at the age of 28.
MY says:
I still can't find her name. Could it be Julia (Juliya, Yulia) Kovaliova? The one that attended Townson University of Athletics? The gymnast who represented Lithuania on the bars in Sydney, Australia in 2000?

Jeremy Chang as a Dentist
(News taken from April 2004)
Because of his father's wishes, Jeremy gave up his most loved singing career and went back to work as a dentist. But he was never able to let go of singing and after convincing his family, it was agreed upon that he would have to work at the clinic at least one day per week during his record promotion period.
The record company took advantage of this by offering buyers a chance to win a 10k diamond that was worth $10,000 with the purchase of his new album. Only 10 albums contained the diamond and Jeremy would be the one packaging the diamonds in the albums. The lucky winners will have the option of having the diamond embedded onto their teeth by Jeremy himself. Jeremy thought at one time, that it would be neat to have his autograph engraved on his patients' teeth, so his patients would remember him forever.
During one interview, the host who knew him quite well, jokingly said that Jeremy's monthly income working as a dentist was only a mere $10,000!
As a dentist, Jeremy sometimes uses psychology to help his patients. He once said to one of his patients, "If pulling your tooth hurts, then I will quit my singing career!" It's easy to convince his patients to relax but he is just as reluctant to sit at the dentist chair. "Most people will think of the needle as a thorn, but to us dentists, we will think of whether the needle will enter into the muscles, bones or nerves. With this in mind, we get just as nervous."
After several years as a dentist, he has gotten used to the routine and no longer thinks about the past. "I will not only work as a dentist, singing is still my interest, therefore I will become a 'dentist singer'. I hope my patients will become my fans and my fans will also become my patients."
MY says:
Why does Jeremy keep on saying that he pulls teeth? Don't dentists in Taiwan replace cavities with fillings instead of just pulling teeth? Hahaha...signing his name on his patient's teeth???!!! Crazy guy, I tell you but he's got a good sense of humor though. :)

Jeremy Chang Negative News with Karena Lam
(News taken from December 2004)
Jeremy showed his fustration regarding the negative news between him and Karena Lam. Apparently, Karena had told the media that because Jeremy failed to pursue her, he froze her from any career advancement for 7 years. "She's not telling the truth. She has not only harmed me, but she has harmed the people who have helped her. If it wasn't for us, where would she be now? She should at least have the heart to tell the truth. I've been in the industry for 18 years. As long as I have done nothing wrong, I have nothing to fear about."
MY says:
Once again, voicing yourself in public will help clarify misunderstanding.

"Hiroshima Love" Jeremy Chang & Karen Mok (Part II)
(News taken from April/May 2004)
How did the song "Hiroshima Love" come about? Karen Mok was at the lowest point in her career. The two new albums that she released in Hong Kong did not sell well. As a result, her record company suggested that she find Jeremy Chang to help write a song for her. She dug up the money out of her own pocket to purchase an airline ticket and headed for New York where Jeremy was currently residing. Jeremy had arranged to meet her at an old cafe in New York. Jeremy said, "I did not want to spend unnecessary money, even for a beautiful girl." Jeremy was reluctant to help Karen at the time, he didn't even know who she was then. But he owed the owner of the record company a favour and since she had made her way this far, he had no choice but to help her. He wrote the song right there in that cafe for her. Because this was a favour, he agreed to give the copyright to the record company, which meant that he will not receive any royalty for any record and MV sales for "Hiroshima Love". Little did he know that what he wrote was a success and Karen rose to fame overnight.
He clarified to the media, that he never had a relationship with Karen, "When we were filming the MV for 'Hiroshima Love', there was request for me to hug Karen from behind. I refused because my girlfriend was there watching. You see, there was no chance for us to be together."
MY says:
Not many people will admit that they are moneywise, especially in the Asian entertainment world. I admire Jeremy for being so open about this. Sometimes you don't have a choice, but to clarify yourself in public. Keeping too quiet will only allow room for others to talk and think negatively of you.

"Hiroshima Love" Jeremy Chang & Karen Mok (Part I)
(News taken from June 2004)
Song: "Hiroshima Love" (Guang Dao Zhi Lian) 1989
Composer: Jeremy Chang / Lyrics: Jeremy Chang / Arranger: Tu Ying
Singers: Jeremy Chang, Karen Mok
"Hiroshima Love" was a help in boosting Karen Mok's career. At that time, record sales reached up to 400,000 copies. Many years later, "Hiroshima Love" remains one of most popular song on KTV. Jeremy stated that at the time, he never received one penny of royalty for this song. Both Karen Mok and Karena Lam were once students under Jeremy, but both have left to pursue their careers elsewhere. Now seeing his students having a successful career, he is very happy for them, "It was because I was poor then. As a composer, I didn't have very much money to invest in a singer. A singer has the right to choose a better and more financially stable record company to help their career grow. "
MY says:
It's no wonder that some people have been mislead to think that Jeremy was claiming Karen's "Hiroshima Love" as his work. I've seen one website that had Karen's name for both music and lyrics. But as with all news, most people will usually reside on the side of the person that is more popular.
