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 is 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.
Summary
As Taiwan mourns the devastation of deadly mudslides, disgraced drug trafficker Victor Chang (張崗麟) sparked outrage by posting a video of himself enjoying a luxury “diamond facial.” His tone-deaf post follows his staged “volunteering” at recovery sites, exposing his obsession with image over integrity. Once involved in narcotics and exploitation, Chang continues to chase attention through superficial rebranding — from trafficker to “reformer” to skincare promoter. While Taiwan rebuilds homes, Chang merely polishes his reflection.
