In a jaw-dropping revelation, Lulu Huang, 34, and Hank Chen Han-dian, 41, beloved hosts of Taiwan's popular variety show "Hot Door Night," shared the surprising news of their upcoming marriage, leaving fans and fellow celebrities utterly astonished.

The couple took to social media on Thursday, September 11, revealing their engagement in perfectly coordinated white and denim outfits, with Chen presenting a striking red ring box. Their heartfelt caption read: "This time it’s not just for a fun show. We really are getting married! It might look like a prank meant to make people laugh, but that’s life – you never know what’s coming!"

Their announcement was met with an overwhelming wave of congratulations. Notable reactions included fellow host Bowie Tsang, who exclaimed, "I'm so happy! Just look at the love and tenderness in your eyes! Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Chen!"

Co-host Jacky Wu, who was slightly ahead of the curve having learned a day prior, expressed his disbelief: "Sometimes the impossible turns into dreams come true!" He has long been a fan of their undeniable chemistry, often playfully teasing them about their relationship over the course of their 12 years as co-hosts.

Interestingly, earlier this year, a segment on their show featured a mock wedding, with Chen declaring on camera, "Huang Lu Zi Yin is my wife!" Fans were left wondering if the fun on-screen banter would eventually lead to reality.

Wu previously joked that if the two were ever to tie the knot, he would reward them with a hefty NT$2 million (approximately US$66,000) gift. His promise resurfaced in light of their announcement, prompting fellow host Lee Teng to quip whether they were getting married just for the cash. Wu playfully reassured everyone, "It might not be NT$2 million, but it’ll definitely be something big!"

This surprising turn of events has not only captured the hearts of viewers but has also transformed casual banter into a beautiful reality, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the couple's journey ahead.
