Selina Jen Chia-hsüan (; born 31 October 1981) is a Taiwanese singer, television host and actress. She is a member of the Taiwanese girl group S.H.E. On 11 June 2004, she graduated from the National Taiwan Normal University with a Bachelor of Education degree, majoring in Civic Education and Leadership.

On 22 October 2010, Selina was seriously injured in an explosive accident while filming the television series I Have a Date with Spring (), along with co-star Yu Haoming. Selina suffered third-degree burns on more than 54% of her body and needed to undergo skin grafting treatment/operation where her hands, legs, and back were injured.

Her sister is actress and singer Lorene Ren.

Career

On 8 August 2000, HIM International Music held a 'Universal 2000 Talent and Beauty Girl Contest' in search for new artists to be signed under their label. Her younger sister Lorene Ren had wanted to join but she was too young. Instead, Jen joined the contest in her place. The contest had about 1000 contestants and after many tiring rounds of competing, seven contestants were left for the 'Cruel Stage' round. The three members of S.H.E were formed from here.

Following the competition, the record company gave all seven contestants an audition. Jen was the eventual winner of the contest. She caught the judges' attention in the first round by performing Coco Lee's "Before I Fall in Love" and entered the final round with "The Closest Stranger". She also sang "Reflection" by Christina Aguilera. Due to her nervousness during the final round, Selina was called out twice, and when she was announced the winner, she was doubtful because there were other contestants who had not been called out. However, all three future members of S.H.E were signed together under HIM International Music.

The name Selina was chosen by her company after taking a personality test; which represents "gentleness". The name initially had two possible spellings: Selina and Selena. Jen eventually chose "Selina" simply because she would be able to dot the i.

Jen collaborated with Tank, a singer-songwriter with HIM, on the song "Solo Love Song" (), as well with Leehom Wang, for "You're a Song Inside My Heart" () a song from his 12th studio album "Change Me".

In September 2006, Jen released a bead-design book, Selina Loves Beading ().

Solo career

On December 16, 2011, Selina released her debut solo EP, "Dream a New Dream" (重作一個夢), which was produced during her rehabilitation following a severe burn accident while filming in mainland China. The lead single, "Everyone Who Loves Me" (愛我的每個人), was composed by JJ Lin with lyrics by Daryl Yao, was first premiered on the official HIM International Music website on October 29. The song "Dream" (夢) was composed by Jay Chou with lyrics written by Selina, through which she chronicled the pain, struggle, hope, and gratitude she experienced over more than 400 days of rehabilitation. This marked their reunion as collaborators following their 2008 work, "It's Quiet" (安靜了). Additionally, television host Kevin Tsai contributed the lyrics to the title track, "Dream a New Dream" (重作一個夢).

On January 19, 2015, Jen released her first solo album "3.1415". On February 15, 2015, she held her first solo concert as an individual in Taipei.

Since 2018, Selina has experienced persistent vocal issues that have yet to be fully resolved. Although an examination by an otolaryngologist confirmed that there were no structural abnormalities in her vocal cords, and she subsequently sought both professional vocal training and psychological counseling, the underlying cause of the condition remains unidentified; she has suggested that the issue may involve a shift in her vocal resonance and voice placement. Selina has stated that singing has become a source of psychological pressure, leading her to indefinitely postpone plans for her second solo album and all singing-related engagements. She intends to prioritize her career as a television host while awaiting a full recovery of her vocal health.

On December 6, 2019, Selina released a cover of the viral TikTok song "Talking To The Moon" (心如止水). This release marked her return to singing following the vocal struggles she faced in 2018, and served as her first musical work since the establishment of her own studio, "The Beauty of Ren Limited" (任真美好). The release garnered significant attention from fans. Her manager clarified that there were no underlying issues with Selina's vocal cords, attributing her previous inability to sing to psychological pressure. The manager reassured fans and noted that the singing style of this new single differs from her signature warm and sweet vocal style. A series of short comedic promotional videos was subsequently released from December 9 to 11.

On October 11, 2020, Selina released her new single, "All year round" (四季), marking her first musical release in 11 months.

As of January 2021, Jen ventured into the F&B industry with packed porridge as her first line of products. Her company is known as Ren Sing Eat Shot (任性eat下). She occasionally shares Vlogs of her food and hiking experiences on her YouTube channel.

On December 17, 2021, Selina released her personal digital EP, "My Own Beauty". The EP features three tracks: "My Own Beauty" (往美的路我要自己作主), "Joyful Loneliness" (居里夫人), and " We Are All The Same" (你我他). Selina contributed to the songwriting and composition for two of the tracks

Personal life

On 22 October 2010, Jen suffered third-degree burns on 54% of her body, mostly her back and legs, during an indoor shooting in Shanghai for the musical series I Have a Date with Spring (). Jen was discharged the following year on 19 January 2011, and held a press conference, stating her condition and her intention to return to work.

Prior to her accident, she was on her way to becoming a TV show host.

On 29 May 2010, during a concert at the Taipei Arena, Jen revealed that lawyer Richard Chang () was her boyfriend. She married Chang on 31 October 2011. On 4 March 2016, through a post on her Facebook page, Selina announced that she and Chang were planning a divorce. The divorce was finalized on 27 April.

In March 2022, six years after her divorce, Jen confirmed that she was dating Xu, a non-celebrity seven years her junior.

On 13 March 2023, Selina announced on her social media "Podcast" accounts that she was expecting her first child with her boyfriend. On 7 September, Selina announced the birth of her son.

According to TVBS World Taiwan, on 26 December 2023, Selina's team announced that Rensingeatshot would conclude operations in January 2024. They added that the decision would not impact the company's collaborations with other brands.
