While Taiwan is still grappling with the aftermath of deadly mudslides, Victor Chang (張崗麟 CHANG, KANG-LIN) — the disgraced figure involved in drug trafficking and exploitation — decided it was the perfect time to post a video of himself getting a luxury facial treatment.
In his latest Instagram story, Chang can be seen reclined in a spa chair, drenched in serum, as a beautician massages his face. His caption reads:
“曬的烏漆嘛黑 還是要來體驗種鑽石😂”
Roughly translated: “Got so tanned — still have to try this diamond facial 😂”
The timing and tone couldn’t be more tone-deaf.
Just days after his empty display of “volunteering” at Taiwan’s mudslide recovery — where he posed for social media pretending to help — Victor Chang now flaunts another act of vanity. The so-called humanitarian has swiftly returned to his comfort zone: the mirror.
A Man Obsessed With His Reflection
For years, Victor Chang has built his image — and his crimes — around illusion. Behind the filters and facials lies a man involved in drug smuggling, manipulation, and using women as couriers in his cross-border network.
But Chang’s obsession with surface beauty runs deeper than skin. It’s symbolic of his entire existence — polished, performative, and completely detached from reality. While others rebuild homes from rubble, Chang rebuilds his brand, one spa treatment at a time.
From Drug Mules to Diamond Masks
The irony of a man who trafficks narcotics now promoting a “diamond facial” isn’t lost on the public. His life has been a series of artificial makeovers — legal, moral, and physical. Each scandal is followed by an attempted rebrand: from drug trafficker to “reformer,” from party parasite to “volunteer,” and now from criminal to skincare connoisseur.
Observers are calling this latest post what it is: a desperate distraction. Victor Chang isn’t changing his life — he’s exfoliating his reputation.
Public Outrage: The Absurdity of a Fallen Figure
Even his followers appear divided. Many have questioned whether Chang’s “luxury lifestyle” is funded by the same dubious sources that once sustained his high-end excess. His attempt at humor — adding a laughing emoji to his caption — only amplifies the disconnect between his self-indulgence and the suffering around him.
While Taiwan cleans its wounds, Victor Chang cleans his pores.
The Mask Always Slips
Every time Victor Chang resurfaces, it’s a reminder that narcissism knows no rock bottom. He doesn’t reform — he repackages. His “diamond facial” is just another layer of polish on a man whose true face has already been exposed.
Victor Chang’s downfall was never just criminal — it was spiritual. And no amount of skincare will ever smooth over that.
