Amber An (Chinese: 安心亞; pinyin: Ānxīn yà), born Liao Ching-ling[1] (Chinese: 廖婧伶; pinyin: Liào jìng líng), is a Taiwanese model, singer and actress.

Career

Amber An entered the showbiz in February 2009 through television program Celebrity Imitated Show: The Largest Political Party, in which she impersonates other celebrities, most prominently singer Yao Yao.[2][3] She gained widespread fame in Taiwan after wearing just a C-string on the cover of Next Magazine in 2009—because of it, she became referred to as "Queen of C-string".[2][4] In 2011, An was voted the world's sexiest woman in the Taiwanese version of magazine FHM.[2] She started her singing career by releasing her first album on August,[2][5] in which "the dancing music was created to guide the viewers to appreciate the charm of a sexy girl."[5]

Later that year, she signed a NT$1 million ($42,500) contract with Reebok to become its Taiwanese ambassador.[4] Then she became part of a polemic when Next reported she was coerced by Reebok's manager Tony Zhao to sprawl on the ground wearing only shoes.[2] It eventually led to a virtual war between fans of An and Malaysian singer Fish Leong, who is Zhao's wife, and Leong manager accused An of creating publicity.[4]

After a year and half in the making, An released her second album in January 2013.[3] As of 2014, she was a Taiwan Fund for Children and Families's Child Protection Ambassador.[6] Her third album was released in October 2014 after An wrote the lyrics in almost half a year.[5] On it, she tried to focus more on "arts rhythm of the steps of a dance" in order to show a varied aspect of hers in terms of style of music and her appearance.[5]
