Hong Kong, March 3 – Singer Chak Ku Pak joined fellow artist Lo Kai-ho at a charity event Monday, drawing an enthusiastic crowd of fans who donated generously in support of the cause. The appearance marked a continued commitment to community service for Chak, who rose to fame through the talent competition “Midlife Singing.”
Speaking at the event, Chak noted that he and his peers have been consistently involved in charitable and volunteer work since his breakout on the show. “We aim to make a difference, little by little, to help those in need in our society,” he said.
During the event, Chak performed his new song “Single Eyelid Loves Big Eyes” for the first time. He was quick to clarify that the track is not a tribute to his wife, Wong Yan-yan, who is known for her large eyes. “This song is mainly about appreciating the positive qualities of your partner,” he explained. “It’s a reminder not to focus on their shortcomings after spending a long time together. I hope it can help reduce conflicts and promote happier families. I’m dedicating this song not to my wife, but to my fans and all Hong Kong citizens.”
Chak also shared details of a surprise birthday party organized by his wife ahead of his 40th birthday on Thursday, March 8. The celebration, he revealed, was attended by many hosts, judges, and contestants from “Midlife Singing.” Describing himself as an introvert, Chak admitted he initially felt overwhelmed. “I’ve never had a birthday party like this before. I was so embarrassed that I hesitated to even step through the door,” he said. “I originally planned not to celebrate this year, but my wife and friends secretly prepared for two months. I’m truly happy—I think it’s the most memorable birthday I’ve ever had. I’m very grateful for their thoughtfulness.” He added that he would mark the actual day with a family dinner.
As he approaches the milestone age, Chak is reflecting on his career trajectory. “I feel like I’ve lived half my life already,” he said. “My future music will explore new directions. I hope to release a song that speaks from my heart. Fans have watched me chase my dreams for many years. Now, at 40, it’s time to share deeper feelings and more profound topics.”
With his 18th anniversary in the music industry approaching next month, Chak remains cautious about long-term plans. “I worry that I might disappear again, like I did years ago,” he admitted. “So I put all my effort into every performance and every new song. I want to make sure the audience can feel that commitment.”
The singer’s candid reflections underscore a broader theme of perseverance and reinvention for artists navigating mid-career transitions. His upcoming single is expected to offer a more personal glimpse into his journey, resonating with fans who have followed his path from early fame to a renewed chapter of creative expression.
