Profile

Not to be confused

The owner of this site is also called 「老喬」 (Joe Lin, who runs the newsletter 《老喬報》), but he and Joe Chen (網紅老喬) on this page are two different people. This site lists this page under the same rules as a neutral third-party directory, with the same template and the same verification standards as every other person we cover, and no special treatment.

Occupation
Short-video creator. His Instagram bio says 「45歲年輕阿公/北漂中年/留英89/低俗幽默」 (a young 45-year-old grandpa / a middle-aged man who moved north / 留英89 / lowbrow humor), and his Threads bio says 「不正經的45歲年輕阿公」 (a not-so-serious young 45-year-old grandpa). [1][2]
How official accounts were identified
The four accounts listed on this page (Instagram @joechen, Threads @joechen, TikTok @joechen_tiktok, YouTube @joechen9000) all come from linktr.ee/joechen9000, which his IG bio links to. [1][3] · The test is "listed on a link hub he maintains himself", not "looks like him in search results".
Current job
Formerly a photographer; now a foreman at a design-and-build contracting company. [1][4] · His bio and a media interview, two independent sources, say the same thing.

Born in 1980 (45 years old and about to turn 46 when the interview was published). [4] · Only the birth year was found; the month and day are not public (see "Information this site could not find" below).
Study abroad and education
In junior high his parents sent him to study in the UK; he spent junior high, senior high and university there, ten years in all, and studied interior design at university. [4] · His IG bio also says 「留英89」; this site could not find any public explanation of the number, so it is kept as written and not interpreted.
Languages
Fluent in Taiwanese Hokkien and English. His best-known content is Taiwanese Hokkien lessons "spoken with a British accent". [4][1]
Early career
He sold imported foreign-language books, worked as a photography assistant, a news reporter and a camera operator for a shopping channel, and freelanced for 15 or 16 years; he shot commercials for major brands, music videos for Elva Hsiao and Show Lo, and the TV drama 《鬥魚》. [4]
Family
He has been with his wife for over 20 years, had his first child at 23, and became a grandfather at 45. [4] · 🔒 This site does not publish the names or identities of his spouse and children: they are not the people being supported.

Social media reach
About 232,000 followers on Instagram and about 29,000 on Threads (checked on July 28, 2026); ETtoday's February 2026 report gave 210,000. [1][2][4] · Follower counts change; this site only records the figure on the date checked and does not keep it updated.

According to the ETtoday interview, his followers include entertainers such as 高捷, 蔣偉文, 高爾宣, 鄭人碩 and 鳳小岳. [4]
Business inquiries

Information this site could not find

This site could not find a verifiable public source for the items below, so we neither list nor guess them: better missing than wrong. If you have an official or authoritative source, please email service@joelin.cc

Real name
Not public / under verification · This site could not find verifiable public information. On social media and in the press he always calls himself 「老喬 Joe Chen」; the ETtoday interview never mentions his real name, his Facebook page has no About section, and Wikipedia has no article on him.
Birthplace / hometown
Not public / under verification · This site could not find verifiable public information. His IG bio calls him 「北漂中年」 (a middle-aged man who moved north) but does not say where he is originally from, and this site does not infer his hometown from that phrase.
Birthday (month and day)
Not public / under verification · Only the birth year, 1980, was found; the month and day are not public, so this site's birthday field stays "not public / under verification".
Spouse's identity
Not public / under verification · He has only made public that they have been together for over 20 years, not who his spouse is; this site does not look into it either (see our data principles).
