The best part about a celebrity house tour is seeing their superfan side. Taiwan’s heartthrob and multi-talented multipreneur showcased exactly that when he opened the doors of his Brunei mansion to fans. Obsessed with the NBA and its icons, the former frontman of a famous Taiwanese boy band called Fahrenheit is dedicated to basketball legends like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. Now the Architectural Digest is revealing the “dream house” of the Bruneian superstar.
Known for winning the hearts of half a continent through hits like Tokyo Juliet and Kindaichi Case Files, Wu Chun was once reduced to a giggling fanboy by ‘His Airness.’ After their first encounter, he went about building a home that contains his own NBA museum.

Being the All Star Gallery, it’s not limited to just MJ. It also contains a collection of Filipino boxer, Manny Pacquiao such as his signed boxing gloves. Even Wu Chun is an All Star in his museum with a wall of magazine covers featuring him. The Sunshine Angel star has seized every opportunity in basketball he got and was extremely excited to meet His Airness years ago.
That time Michael Jordan left Wu Chun star-struck
In 2018, he participated in the Brunei Basketball Association’s event, Low San Brunei Basketball Open. When he was a teen, he played against Yao Ming, who went on to play for the Houston Rockets. But it was meeting Michael Jordan that left Wu Chun full of emotions.

It was at the 2013 NBA All-Star Game. The Taiwanese star was invited by Coca-Cola and he jumped on the chance. He was so excited to meet the 6x NBA champion that he said he didn’t sleep for 54 hours straight.
He’d design his Brunei home after the All-Star exhibition and he had to dedicate a section of it to the people who inspire him. “I feel like this is a space for me to be inspired. I never thought I would make movies and give concerts. These people I look up to taught me to face failure without fear and be brave to take challenges,” he said about his museum.
