Perspective
Kuo is married with a son. His first marriage in 1995 lasted only 3 months.[2]
Former Mayor of Hsinchu City Lin Junq-tzer is his older cousin.[3]
In 2012, Kuo launched a claim for 460 million won in compensation against the Ramada Hotel and Suites Seoul in Namdaemun after he suffered hot water burns from a defective electric kettle which bottom part was already broken before he checked into the hotel. He was on a holiday trip in Seoul with his wife and son in January 2012 when the incident happened. His claim was subsequently dismissed by the Seoul Central District Court in August 2013. In reaction, Kuo initiated a series of protests with a number of Taiwanese television personalities and filed a petition to the Taiwan Human Rights Association that had garnered 10,000 signatures.[4]
In 2015, the actress Chiang Tsu-ping played Kuo Tzu-chien's daughter in the eight-o'clock drama "Love You Unconditionally." In the scene, Kuo Tzu-chien was supposed to slap Chiang Tsu-ping, but he apparently miscontrolled the force, causing a mild concussion and inner ear imbalance in Chiang Tsu-ping, forcing her to rest for a year. However, Chiang Tsu-ping still suffered from residual health problems. Not only could she never exercise again, she sometimes felt shaky while sitting at home. At her worst, she couldn't even squat or run, which was undoubtedly a huge blow. [5]
In June 2021, Kuo was embroiled in the Taipei Good Liver Clinic vaccination scandal where he was in a group of "wealthy and famous" people who received COVID-19 vaccines at the same time as the designated priority groups such as frontline medical personnel, police and emergency-response workers, among others.[6]
