Taiwanese pop star Jolin Tsai just did her first on-screen kiss with a woman in her newest music video for her latest song "We're All Different, Yet the Same."
The music video, which will be released Tuesday on Tsai's official YouTube channel, showed Tsai and Taiwanese actress Ruby Lin as a lesbian couple. The two shared not only a kiss, but also marriage and spent 30 years together, according to Focus Taiwan News Channel.
The story's climax was when one of them cannot sign the hospital papers of her significant other to push through an emergency surgery as she is neither a family member nor a legal spouse.
Tsai, 34, said that the theme of her newest music video demonstrated how love, in any form, should be supported. She added that judging and criticizing someone else's love would divert a person "further away from the road of love."
China Entertainment News reported that Lin, 38, agreed to join in the music video upon reading the script. Tsai said that people have told her that she looked like Lin.
"I finally met her today, and we kissed on our first meeting," the pop star said, referring to the kissing scene in her music video that took over an hour to film.
Same-sex marriage has become a major issue in Taiwan. The country is known to be one of the most open countries for gay culture in Asia. However, Focus Taiwan reported that many have opposed the legalization of same-sex marriage due to religious beliefs and traditional values.
Jolin Tsai, dubbed as "Asia's Dancing Queen" for her dancing styles, is the second highest earning pop star in Taiwan next to Jay Chou. Since her debut in 1999, Tsai has become one of the most popular singers in Taiwan.
