American-Taiwanese singer Wang Leehom has piqued the curiosity of his fans about his whereabouts due to a recent post on social media.

On Friday (June 11), Wang, 45, posted a photo of him receiving a Covid-19 vaccine at a place which looked like a supermarket and added that he has been "jabbed".

Several fans speculated that he did not take the jab in Taiwan or China as there were what looked like American products on the shelves behind him.

Others wondered if he had taken the jab in the United States due to his American citizenship.

His agent confirmed to the Taiwanese media that he is currently in the US and has taken the jab, without specifying which brand it was.

It turned out that Wang is in Idaho to take part in the Sun Valley Conference, an annual media finance gathering. Its organisers had requested that participants get vaccines which are recognised internationally.

While Wang wore a face mask in the photo, it did not cover his thick beard, which recently made headlines as it diverges from his clean-cut image.

His wife Li Jinglei liked the photo, despite recent rumours that their marriage is on the rocks due to zero interaction between them on social media in the past two years. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
