As a child, Hsu suffered from asthma and, at the encouragement of his mother, participated in national table tennis tournaments. At age 13, he appeared as a young male lead in Jay Chou's music video for "Class 3-2". He attended Zhongzheng Elementary School in New Taipei City, then went to school in Taipei, where he graduated from Taipei Municipal Jingmei National Middle School and Taipei Municipal Fuxing Senior High School. He was the lead vocalist for his high school's music club.

After high school, Hsu attended Chinese Culture University, where he was classmates with Hong Kong actor Sunny Sun (孙阳).

Hsu also made performances in Netflix's Nowhere Man and Oscar short-listed A Sun. In 2019, he starred as leading actor in hit series Someday Or One Day. The popular series got him nominated for Best Leading Actor at the 55th Golden Bell Awards, and made him now one of the most sought-after young actors in Asia.
