On February 2, 2025, Taiwanese artist Big S (Barbie Hsu) suddenly died of influenza and pneumonia at the age of 48.

The news undoubtedly came as a shock and sadness to many fans and industry insiders, especially as just a week before her death she had appeared in public, looking as energetic and charming as ever.

However, careful netizens found some unusual details in the photos of her last public appearance, which seemed to suggest that her health condition was not as good as it seemed.

On January 25, Big S and her family attended the return party for the daughter of famous Taiwanese producer Wang Weizhong.

Although this appearance took place at a banquet filled with a festive atmosphere, Big S still displayed her usual elegance and confidence, dressed appropriately and with a bright smile.

She interacted closely with her relatives and friends and behaved properly, without giving anyone any signs of anything unusual.

Her fans and media also praised her for being as radiant as ever.

Her smile was so natural, as if she had no pressure or trouble, as if her world was still full of happiness and peace.

However, behind this seemingly perfect photo, some netizens keenly discovered some unusual details.

Looking closely at Big S in the photo, something seems to be wrong with her face – her face looks abnormally swollen, her eye sockets are deeply sunken, and her skin is dull.

These seemingly minor but significant changes are rarely seen in her previous images.

Usually, Big S always pays attention to maintenance, keeping her figure very slim and her skin always smooth and delicate.

This sudden change made netizens wonder whether she had been unwell for a long time, but still insisted on working and attending public events.
