Annie Chen

Chen was born on 28 April 1989, in Taichung, Taiwan. She is an only child. Chen has stated in interviews that she was conceived through in vitro fertilization because her parents had a difficult time conceiving a child naturally. Her father owned a wholesale frozen poultry business in Taichung that went bankrupt in 2010 due to the bird flu virus outbreak that year in Taiwan. She attended Viator Catholic High School (衛道中學) for junior high school and graduated from Shin Min High School (新民高中). She studied finance at Kainan University and began to work during her senior year. She then moved to Hsing Wu University of Science and Technology, Department of Finance, where she applied for leave because of her work.
