[edit] Sex tape scandal and post-scandal

Tseng ran a dot-com company during the 1999-2000 dot-com fever. In spring 2001 his company won the bid of maintaining the website of Hsinchu City's Bureau of Cultural Affairs, which was then chaired by Chu Mei-feng; soon thereafter they had extramarital affair. In an August 2001 morning, Tseng went to Chu's Danshuei condominium and had sex with Chu; they did not know all their sexual activities had been covertly filmed and would be distributed 4 months later. After this scandal broke out, Tseng immediately gained nation-wide notoriety and his marriage was endangered. However in February 2002 Tseng's wife Shih Ching-feng(施靜芬), a local dress designer, addressed publicly that she had opted to forgive her husband, and would neither divorce nor sue Chu for adultery. This couple have since become targets of local paparazzi, but no negative news of their marriage has been reported so far.

The next year, in June 2003, Tseng once again became spotlighted when he was suspected of being infected with SARS during his trip to Japan. He was hospitalized and tested by Japanese authorities, found to not be in possession of the illness, recovered, and returned back to Taiwan. His dot-com company also closed down after the scandal and illness; he is currently rumored to be working in mobile phone industry.
