HONG KONG – Hong Kong singer Feanna Wong has long yearned for a handsome lead actor in her music videos – and her latest release finally delivers. The new single “Hey Feanna” not only features a cameo by beloved actor-singer Ekin Cheng as a vinyl record shop owner but also includes two good-looking junior artists, Pak Hei Kong and Yu Him Yeung, in supporting roles. The video premiered this week, marking the launch of a fresh musical project for the 24-year-old artist.
A Star-Studded Set
Filming took place at a vintage-themed record store in Hong Kong, where Wong plays a young woman repeatedly rejected during auditions. Discouraged and lost, she stumbles into the shop and meets its mysterious owner – played by Cheng – along with two customers, each carrying their own untold stories. The narrative uses the record store as a metaphor for finding unexpected guidance and solace during life’s setbacks.
Wong prepared drinks for the entire cast and crew on set, earning her the playful nickname “Lady Mansui” – a Cantonese term for generously treating others. Cheng, in addition to his cameo, spontaneously took on the role of a roving interviewer during a break, quizzing the singer about her recent achievements.
Cheng’s Comedic Exchange
The 57-year-old Cheng, known for his iconic roles in “Young and Dangerous” and “Feel 100%,” referenced Wong’s recent win for Best Original Film Song at the Hong Kong Film Awards, as well as her triumph in a pitch-perfect challenge on TVB’s variety show “Sing Chin.” When he asked if she had received a cash prize, Wong admitted she had not.
“No wonder no one is treating everyone!” Cheng joked.
Wong quickly clarified that she had already arranged refreshments for the crew, even offering to split the cost with him. In mock indignation, Cheng replied: “Wow – I came to shoot a music video and host, and you want to go Dutch?”
A Personal Milestone
Wong described “Hey Feanna” as “the opening track of a new chapter” – a heartfelt gift to herself and to those who have supported her musical journey. She said the song’s message reflects encouragement from mentors and peers, urging listeners not to forget self-care even amid the daily grind of urban life.
“I hope people hear this song and realize they are never truly alone,” Wong said. “And that they can learn to become their own greatest supporter.”
The single is the first release under a new music initiative, with more tracks expected later this year. Industry observers note that Wong’s recent awards and rising profile position her as one of Hong Kong’s most promising young pop talents.
Broader Implications
The collaboration also highlights a growing trend in Cantopop: established stars like Ekin Cheng lending their credibility to emerging acts. Such cross-generational partnerships not only draw audience attention but also help bridge the gap between veteran and new-school artists in Hong Kong’s evolving music scene.
Fans can stream “Hey Feanna” on major platforms now. The music video is available on Wong’s official YouTube channel.
