He pursued his post-secondary education at New York University, school of business and school of arts, majoring in business and minoring in film studies. He is also the grandson of a shipping tycoon and his family owns Yang Ming Marine Transport Corporation. Wang is fluent in both English and Mandarin Chinese.

Personal life

Wang moved to Taiwan shortly after birth and did not return to the States until he was seven. He grew up in the States with his grandma, mother and younger sister Yvonne, whom is six years younger and both attended Montclair Kimberley Academy in New Jersey.[2] Wang had loved to perform since young, but his family wanted him to complete his studies and also to work in the family business. After several years of working for his uncle, travelling around Asia, he finally had the courage to pursue his dream to enter the entertainment scene and taken up a role in drama, with the help of ex-girlfriend Elva Hsiao. Prior to his debut, he was widely known as the ex-boyfriend of the singer. Wang met Elva in 2003 during his university winter holiday return to Taiwan. Their relationship ended in March, 2005. They got together again 8 months later but broke up again.[3] The two currently are under the same agency and manager. He made his debut as the second male lead of "In Time with You" and received a lot of attention for his unique role and intense tattoos on his body.

Wang participated in the first season of Mainland dating variety show Perhaps Love and partnered up with Chinese actress Zhang Li in early 2014 and the two developed feelings for each other. In December 2014, Wang revealed that he was no longer dating the actress and that they had broken up shortly after his birthday in November 2014. Rumors believe that his current fiancée may have been the third-party interference in their relationship.[4]

Wang announced his relationship to Taiwan-based Australian-Chinese singer, Dominique Choy in early 2015. They met in 2005 and their relationship first began in 2007, but did not further due to long distance. They rekindled their romance again in late 2014, and got engaged in April 2015. Wang proposed to Dominique on her birthday on April, 7th, saying "that she has made him believe in fate, and regardless of whether it'll be in this life or the next life, he'd always find her wherever she might be".[5] The news received a lot of backlash due to the controversy that was raised after he had broke up with Zhang Li. The couple has not announced an exact date for their marriage, but are currently living together.

On December 27, 2015, Wang married Dominique Choy in Sydney, Australia.
