S.H.E



S.H.E is a Taiwanese girl group whose members are Selina Ren, Hebe Tian, and Ella Chen. The name of the group is an alphabetism derived from the first letter of each member's name. In 2000, Ren, Tian and Chen signed up for a singing contest, and the winner, Ren, was awarded a record contract. Tian and Chen, who were both finalists, joined Ren to form S.H.E. The group produces albums under the HIM International Music label. Avex Asia distributed S.H.E's music in Hong Kong, but transferred this role to WOW Music in 2007. EMI Music China is the distributor in Singapore and the People's Republic of China.

Youthful and Energetic
S.H.E is noted as a youthful and energetic girl group. In an industry where good looks are keys to success, S.H.E's outward appearances are mediocre at best. However, S.H.E's main selling point is not the quality of their faces, but the differences that exist between each member. Numerous attempts were made to change the group's image by either increasing their sex appeal or turning them into rockstars, but more often than not, those fabricated images were overshadowed by S.H.E's wild, light-hearted, and joking nature.

Unlike many female artists, who try to stay as trim as possible, S.H.E is known for their voracious eating habits, disregarding any risk of obesity. Not only was the group named "history's fattest girl group", but S.H.E even called themselves "history's ugliest girl group."

Friendship Forever
One of S.H.E's hallmarks is their friendship. The intimacy between Selina, Hebe and Ella reached a point where the media began questioning the group's sexual orientation.In 2007, S.H.E composed the song "Wifey" to commemorate their friendship. The term "Wifey" comes from the group's days in the girl's dormitory, when Selina would call Hebe by that name.Since then, the name has become symbolic of the girls' camaraderie.
