Harlem Yu discharged from hospital

Taiwanese singer-host Harlem Yu has been discharged from hospital after undergoing a heart surgery on Tuesday.

The 53-year-old was in good spirits and spoke to the media in his usual lively self after he was discharged Wednesday afternoon. Harlem shared he underwent a standard surgery to correct his irregular heartbeat and emphasised through his manager that there were no implants in his body. He reportedly requires a month of rest before resuming work.

The entertainer, who will be holding his concert in Singapore on October 3, even wished members of the media the best of health in Taiwanese Hokkien dialect.

His manager added, “Harlem was discharged because the doctor said he could. He will recuperate at home and should be able to resume work early next month, including his concert in Singapore.”

When probed about what Harlem’s ex-wife Annie Yi said previously on Weibo that “both of us have partners whom we care about”, seemingly indicating that he has found someone new, the singer said, “Please let me off,” and left for the car.
