Xiao Hu Dui (Chinese: 小虎隊), also known as the Little Tigers, were a Taiwanese boy band formed in 1988.[1][2][3] The band consisted of Alec Su, Nicky Wu and Julian Chen. The trio rose to fame during the late 1980s, achieving success in their native Taiwan and throughout Asia. Their success led to the recognition, popularity and creation of Taiwanese boy bands and other pop acts. Xiao Hu Dui are cited as the first boy band. After a brief hiatus, the group disbanded in 1995. The three members went on to pursue solo careers.[4][5][6] They sold over 15 million albums.[citation needed]
In 2010, Xiao Hu Dui briefly reunited, performing for CCTV's Spring Festival Gala. In March 2016, Su and Chen both attended Wu's wedding in Bali.[7]
