Selina Jen attends her record label’s annual dinner
The starlet and artistes from the same company pooled in S$86,000 as lucky draw prizes for the staff members

Record label HIM International held a 20-table annual dinner at a renowned hotel on Jan 10 which was attended by the company's artistes, including S.H.E, Fahrenheit member Jiro Wang and Mike He.

Last year, HIM International threw a low-profile party because Selina sustained burn injuries in an on-set accident and was then on the road to recovery. Most of the money collected was also donated to the Sunshine Foundation to help burn patients.

This year, with Selina's condition stabilizing and picking up, HIM International forked out a generous amount of NT$800,000 (S$34,400) to throw a lavish company dinner; the dishes reportedly cost up to NT$25,000 (S$1,000) per table.

The banquet also included a lucky draw segment and the first round of games called the 'started round', saw everyone going home with something that night and 70 lucky staff walked away with a total amount of NT$3 million (S$130,000) cash.

The artistes from HIM International pooled in NT$2 million (S$86,000), while the company's executives took out NT$1 million (S$40,000).

The boss of the company then announced that staff members would receive a four to five-month annual bonus this year.

Furthermore, HIM International will also organize a company trip for its staff, with all expenses paid by the record label.

Hebe and Ella make generous cash contributions at company dinner
The two S.H.E members contributed cash for the lucky draw during their company’s annual dinner

Taiwanese record label HIM International -- which manages girl group S.H.E and boy band Fahrenheit -- recently held their annual dinner.

Upon arrival, S.H.E member Selina Jen quipped, "It's like attending a wedding banquet," after seeing her colleagues dressed in evening gowns and tuxedos.

That night, the artistes from HIM International pooled in a total of NT$2 million (S$86,000) for the lucky draw cash prizes.

When the host of the event asked the audience to help raise the amount, he specially mentioned Hebe Tien. She was recently ranked third in the 'Top Female Celebrity Earners under 30 years old' list.

"I heard that there's a young female millionaire here today. Where is she?" he asked.

Everyone turned to Hebe immediately. The singer stood up, waved and laughed, "Yes, it's me! Thank you."

Hebe generously agreed to top up another NT$200,000 (S$8,600) for the lucky draw.

S.H.E member Ella Chen's boyfriend Alvin Lai, the marketing manager of L'Oreal Group, was also present. He had attended the event as a client, because Hebe endorses their product.

The host did not let Alvin off the hook either. The latter was called on stage, to make a contribution.

Alvin initially wanted to donate NT$30,000 (S$1,296). However, Ella egged on her boyfriend to contribute more. Alvin's final contribution for the night was NT$60,000 (S$2,591).

At the audience's request, S.H.E also sang the acapella version of their song 'Wifey', which received roaring applause.
