ONE of the restaurants in Taipei belonging to Mandopop King Jay Chou (Photo) will be closed later this month after operating for 13 years, Sin Chew Daily reported.
Known as Mr J, the Franco-Italian restaurant expressed gratitude in a Facebook post to customers for their support over the years.
It will cease operations on May 31 after the end of its lease. However, the restaurant manager indicated that they would reopen when a suitable location is found.
The news of the closure stunned Chou fans, many of whom remembered the times they spent there.
The restaurant, owned by Chou and several of his friends, was where some of the scenes from the first Chou Secret movie were filmed.
One of Chou’s other restaurant businesses, Mr. J Tofu Shop, closed for good in 2013, citing expensive rents.
> About a quarter of a million small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia are expected to close in October, according to estimates by the SME Association.
Its president, Datuk Michael Kang, told Sin Chew Daily that 60% of respondents said they had no income during the motion control order, of which 30% are considering ending.
Kang said the situation would worsen if SMEs were not allowed to resume business.
> The newspaper also reported that Chinese singer Lee Ronghao injured his foot and fell back into a wheelchair.
“I am in a wheelchair again. This is my fifth time.
“I am lucky not to drop the wheelchair. Sigh, ”he wrote on Weibo on Friday.
Lee, 34, did not specify the cause of his injury, except to say it was not serious.
He joked that he did not expect that his singing and songwriting career could be so draining for his lower limbs.
“Are they being crushed under the weight of your talent?” a fan joked in the comment section.
In 2014, Lee injured his foot after falling into a deep hole while filming a music video.
Three years later, he ended up in the emergency room after slipping and falling in a hotel bathroom.
