Hong Kong – Actress Myolie Wu, a beloved figure in Cantopop, revealed her amused reaction after her husband, Philip Lee, shared an unexpected embrace with her ex-boyfriend, actor Bosco Wong, during a chance encounter in Malaysia. The moment, captured on video and widely shared online, has sparked a wave of public curiosity.
Wu, 45, addressed the incident on Thursday night while performing as a guest at the “SHINE ON! Po Leung Kuk Charity Concert” at the Hong Kong Coliseum. When asked about the viral clip showing Lee and Wong hugging warmly, she laughed and said, “How could I not notice that?”
The actress explained that her husband and Wong had never met before, making the spontaneous hug all the more surprising to her. “I found it hilarious. I asked my husband, ‘This is such a big deal, why didn’t you tell me?’ He said he forgot,” Wu recounted, adding that Lee viewed the interaction as ordinary. “To him, it was just meeting a regular friend—nothing special to mention.”
Pressed on whether her husband was aware that Wong was her former partner, Wu responded with a hearty laugh: “Of course he knows! Everyone in Hong Kong knows. How could he not?”
Wu, who married Lee in 2015 and now has three children, reflected on reconnecting with old co-stars over the years—including Ron Ng and Raymond Lam—but noted she has not bumped into Wong or Sammul Chan in a long time. She emphasized that past relationships have long since faded, and she harbors no ill feelings. “I’m married with kids now. I wish him well. Most importantly, everyone should be happy and healthy, especially Bosco’s mother.”
When asked if she would hesitate to work with Wong again on screen, Wu dismissed any concerns. “My husband would never stop me. We’re all professional actors. It comes down to the role and the script,” she said. When a reporter jokingly suggested she might play a character hunting Wong, Wu burst into laughter. “I never said I’d kill him. No need for that,” she replied, smiling.
The friendly hug between Lee and Wong has been widely described as a “meeting of the century” on social media, with many praising the mature, drama-free handling of an inherently awkward situation. The incident, which occurred in a Malaysian shopping area, underscores a broader cultural shift in how celebrity ex-couples navigate public life—often choosing grace over gossip.
For Wu, the episode serves as a lighthearted reminder that time heals old wounds. As she continues to balance her entertainment career with family life, her candid, unbothered reaction offers a rare window into the reality of moving on: sometimes, the biggest drama is no drama at all.
The original encounter was first reported by Ming Pao Daily.
