Personal life
Family
Pan's father, of Shanghai descent, is a business management and psychology professor.[54][55] His mother, an alumnus of the prestigious Taipei First Girls' High School, is of Fujian descent.[56][57] His parents were featured on the track "怎麼著" (How) from Pan's seventh album 007.[58] He has a younger brother, Ben who is three years his junior.[59][60] During the early years of his career, Pan used part of his takings to fund his brother's studies in the United States.[61]
Relationships
Pan maintains a relatively low profile in his personal life. His first girlfriend is a Chinese-Dutch schoolmate whom he briefly dated for a month.[62][63] When he was attending high school, he dated a Japanese senior schoolmate, who is of mixed heritage and a year older. The three-year long relationship ended when Pan was about to make his mark in showbiz. In 2006, he composed the song "謝謝" (Thank You) to commemorate this romance which he described as "the most unforgettable relationship I ever had".[64][65] In the early days of his career, it was reported that he had a three-year long relationship with his Great Teacher co-star Fan Hsiao-fun, and he had written the rap for her song "束縛" (Restrained) in 2002.[66][67] Pan is also romantically linked to his former label-mate Zhu An Yu[68][69] and singer Angela Chang whom he had collaborated on the song "快樂崇拜" (Adoration to Happiness).[70][71] In 2010, the Taiwanese tabloids reported that Pan was dating his former schoolmate, Bebe Yang, the daughter of a real estate entrepreneur and in 2014, the rumored relationship resurfaced after further reports suggested that they have been living together for a period of time.[72][72][73][74]
Basketball
Pan has been an avid basketball fan since his early youth. He was the captain of his high school’s basketball team and a well known figure in school for his outstanding performance in the sport.[75] He was awarded MVP in high school and it won him an athletic scholarship to further his studies in the United States. Though he did not take up the offer, he continued playing basketball during his university days and till today.[76] Some of his songs were inspired by his passion for basketball, notably "誰是 MVP" (Who's MVP), "決戰鬥室" (Battle Room), "一指神功" (Android), "背水一戰" (Never Lose) and "光榮" (Glory).
Humanitarian work
In 2009, Pan composed the mid-tempo track, "親愛的" (My Dear), which is the theme song of 2009 World Vision Taiwan (WVT)'s "Be Friends with Children of the World" campaign. The music video features the footages of Pan's visit to Honduras for World Vision projects.[77]
In August 2012, Pan visited Guiyang in China to interact with beneficiaries of Music Radio "I Want to Go to School" charity project. As ambassador of the project, he composed the theme song "Love X Love" (愛X愛) and roped in various artists of Universal Music, including Fish Leong and Da Mouth, to lend their voices in the single.[78]
In October 2013, Pan and his Miss No Good co-star Rainie Yang were appointed official co-ambassadors for the twenty-fifth edition of the "30 Hour Famine" event in Taiwan.[79] Two months later, Pan and Yang went on a 6-day field visit to Niger to increase awareness on the plight of children whose survival is threatened daily.[80]
