Ashin (Chen Bingli), a member of Taiwan’s self-proclaimed homegrown boy band "HowFun," has been repeatedly rumored to be having an affair with fellow actress Hsieh Hsin. In June, tabloids exposed photos of the two kissing on the street, directly contradicting all their previous denials of the relationship. Ashin’s image as a married, family-oriented man was shattered, leaving many shocked at how long this affair might have been going on.

Photos of Hsieh Hsin can also be spotted on Ashin’s personal Instagram.
On the 12th, Ashin admitted that he had failed to maintain proper boundaries. He insisted that he and Hsieh Hsin were just good friends, and both expressed their apologies. Ashin said he owed an apology to his wife Grace and their family, and that further developments would be addressed after wrapping up his work for the day.
The two have worked together on the variety show "Variety Big Brother" since 2007, spending a considerable amount of time together. Ashin rose to fame through the travel program "Fun Taiwan," while Hsieh Hsin has appeared in multiple travel shows such as "Taiwanese Feet Touring Mainland China," "Travel Cheer Squad," and "GO GO JAPAN Come to Japan." Romance often sparks during fun outings, and foreign settings are even more conducive to blossoming relationships.

1. Business Trips Abroad / Working Overseas
Many people use business trips abroad as an excuse to justify having an affair overseas. For example, out of a five-day trip, they might only spend one day meeting clients. Especially when traveling alone or coincidentally with a colleague who is also a romantic interest, it’s easy for feelings to intensify or for love to spark—without raising suspicions from their partner or colleagues.

2. Company-Organized Overseas Trips
Company trips often involve traveling in groups, but some employees might book a room with someone other than their spouse—or pretend not to be sharing a room—and invite their secret lover or affair partner to join under the guise of a group activity, making it less likely to be discovered.

3. Visiting Relatives Abroad
Traveling abroad to visit family or friends is a socially acceptable reason for going overseas and doesn’t immediately evoke thoughts of vacationing or dating. But precisely because of this, many use it as an excuse to conduct affairs under the pretense of visiting relatives.
Travel is an extension of life, and changing environments can easily stir romantic feelings and spark new connections. Just like how Ashin and Hsieh Hsin filmed scenes all over Taiwan—or were rumored to have shared intimate moments in a car—these emotions develop and accumulate across different settings. How can spouses guard against this? Worrying might be pointless. Pay extra attention to these three common scenarios where cheating might occur during overseas trips.
