Taiwan's heavy metal MP

Outlook

Available for over a year

For the past 20 years, Freddy Lim has been the lead singer of a very popular heavy metal band in Taiwan - Chthonic. Then in January this year, he took on a second, rather surprising role. This long-haired, heavily tattooed, leather-wearing celebrity was elected to parliament - representing a new party that supports gay and immigrant rights, and that wants to keep Taiwan independent of Chinese rule. He's been talking to Nicki Paxman. (Photo credit: Chthonic.)
