Wú Zhàoxián, March 2009

At eight years old, Wú Zhàoxián made it to the finals of the Taiwan Hello! Project NEW STAR Audition with Lán Àizǐ in 2008, but they were both not eligible to win due to their young age. Producer Tsunku decided to place them together in a unit tentatively called Frances & Aiko.

In January 2009, she made her first trip to Japan with Lán Àizǐ, resulting in dance lessons and the chance to perform as a backup dancer for Kusumi Koharu during the Hello! Project 2009 Winter Kettei! Hello☆Pro Award '09 ~Elder Club Sotsugyou Kinen Special~ concert.

In September 2009, she and Lán Àizǐ officially made their major debut in Taiwan as the duo Dà Xiǎo Jiě. Upon their debut, they were dubbed "Taiwan's Youngest Pop Music Girl Group" and were recognized as one of the top three child stars in Taiwan. 

During her tenure in Dà Xiǎo Jiě, she not only appeared on stage and in variety shows as part of the duo, but she also got her start as a child actress on television as well. After Dà Xiǎo Jiě's disbandment in 2013, she focused on studying in school, but also continued working as an actress in Taiwan.
