Career



On August 8, 2000, HIM International Music held a 'Universal 2000 Talent and Beauty Girl Contest'
in search for new artists to be signed under their label.
Her younger sister (Kimi Jen) really wanted to join but she was too young.
Instead, Selina joined the contest in her place.
The contest had about 1000 contestants and after many tiring rounds of competing,
seven contestants were left for the 'Cruel Stage' round.
The three members of S.H.E were formed from here.



Following the competition, the record company gave all seven contestants an audition.
Selina Jen was the actual winner of this contest.
She caught the judges' attention in the first round by singing Coco Lee's 'Before I Fall In Love'
and entered the final round with no trouble with 'The Closest Stranger'.
Selina Jen also sang "Reflection" by Christina Aguillera.
Due to her nervousness during the final round, Selina was called out twice,
and when she was announced the winner, she was doubtful because there were
other contestants who had not been called out.
However, all three future members of S.H.E were signed together under
HIM International Music.



The name Selina was chosen by her company after taking a personality test;
it represents “gentleness”. The name "Selina" initially had two possible spellings:
Selina and Selena. Jen Chia-Hsüan eventually chose "Selina".
