Her father abandoned the family when she was two, leaving her mother to raise Hsu with the assistance of her maternal grandparents and her other family members. Hsu attended the Hwa Kang Arts School in Taipei where she was classmates with Rainie Yang and Alien Huang. She graduated from the Chinese Cultural University with a major in Drama Acting in 2007. Friends call her by her middle name, Ann, which is also the English name listed on her agency's profile webpage.
