Yuan Wei-jen
Yuan Wei-jen (Chinese: 袁惟仁; 24 June 1968 – 2 February 2026) was a Taiwanese singer-songwriter and music producer. Yuan rose to fame in 1991 as part of the duo Fanren with Mo Fan, winning the Golden Melody Award for Best Vocal Group twice. He later moved behind the scenes and became one of the most influential producers in the Mandopop industry.
Yuan played a key role in establishing Na Ying as a major pop singer, producing hits including “Conquer,” “Just a Dream,” and “Awaken,” which helped her enter the Taiwanese market and become the first mainland Chinese singer to win Best Female Singer at the Golden Melody Awards in 2001. Yuan also composed the Mandarin version of “Stubborn,” one of Faye Wong's early career-defining works, and served as an early producer for girl group S.H.E. Yuan gained wider public recognition as a judge on talent show One Million Star and became a fixture on talent and variety shows in the late 2000s and early 2010s.
