We’ll take turns being at our lowest points! If you get cheated on, you get cheated on. If you want to eat d*ck, you eat d*ck. One of the most talked about rumors is the alleged relationship between him and popular idol, former Fahrenheit member Aaron Yan.
Although the two never admitted to being in a relationship, and the public believes they broke up many years ago, Aben hugely supported Aaron Yan when the latter was hit with #MeToo accusations.

His coming out was widely praised for helping to advance LGBTQ+ representation in Taiwanese entertainment. It wasn’t like ‘OH, I’M TOTALLY COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET.’ It was just a regular thing.
[Host: Just like a simple, normal relationship.]
Right. After the relationship was revealed, everyone was like, ‘Who’s that?’ So it’s not a big deal.

As for why he wanted to make the relationship public, the former idol said,
I think part of it was because I wanted to use the little influence I had to turn something like this into an everyday, normal thing.

Great to hear Aben is now able to be himself and talk about his relationships freely!
Aaron Yan is a Taiwanese actor, singer, television host, and entrepreneur who first came into the spotlight as the youngest member of the boy band Fahrenheit.
His parents have largely maintained privacy, though he has spoken warmly about their support during his early years abroad. A male idol couldn’t just say he likes eating d*ck.
– Aben
Aben hilariously created a greeting for an idol coming out of the closet, completed with hand gestures that some idol groups use when greeting their fans.
Hello, I’m from Choc7, I like eating d*ck.
– Aben
He even acted out what the idol would do after the greeting in this hypothetical situation…
The show host then asked how Aben’s boyfriend feels about his revealing their relationship and talking about it so openly in public.
He’s indifferent.
