A constellation of Hong Kong entertainment and business figures convened Tuesday evening at a prestigious awards ceremony hosted by a leading health and beauty retailer, marking both brand achievements and significant personal career milestones for several attendees, including singer VInci Chan and rising artist CY Chau.
The glamourous event on May 28 drew notable personalities such as actor Kevin Cheng, former Miss Hong Kong Lo Min-lee, philanthropist sisters Louisa and Daisy Chan (of the “Shark Sisters”), and artists Richie Tam and Yim Siu-po. However, the spotlight often focused on burgeoning career objectives, particularly the ambitious concert plans of Vinci Chan and the evolving musical direction of CY Chau.
Vinci Chan Targets Landmark 20th Anniversary Concert
Vinci Chan, celebrating her two-decade tenure in the music industry, confirmed that preparations are underway for a major concert scheduled for the end of the year. The singer expressed immediate plans to record additional tracks to feature in the show. Alongside her musical preparations, Chan revealed a striking physical transformation goal, aiming to achieve a more muscular physique.
“Externally, I may appear gentle, but internally, I am tough,” Chan stated. She cited fellow artist Sammi Cheng as an inspiration for achieving definition, specifically mentioning her desire to build biceps, a toned abdomen, and “trolley lines” (meaning a defined core). Chan emphasized that organizing this concert is her primary focus for the year, confirming she is currently setting aside thoughts on major life events, such as marriage.
CY Chau Embraces New Musical Challenges and Collaborations
Fellow singer and rising star CY Chau shared insights into his vigorous creative output this year, aiming to release four new singles that explore diverse genres, including a foray into fast-tempo tracks. While he acknowledges his comparative reluctance toward choreography—describing his approach as “buddha-like” or laid-back—he is eager to tackle upbeat material.
Chau joked that his preference is to leave complicated dance routines to others, noting he hopes to emulate the vocal styling and career longevity of Canto-pop icon Leon Lai.
During the event, Chau addressed the recent viral trend surrounding his friend Tyson Yoshi’s Macau concert, where the hip-hop artist was repeatedly showered with intimate fan gifts. Chau found the audience engagement positive but playfully clarified his own preferences, stating he would only accept “warm bras,” rejecting prop versions. Following the enormous success of their collaboration, the hit song 1994, Chau confirmed recent work on a short film for a Tyson Yoshi track and noted that further joint projects are highly likely.
Rising Star Richie Tam Secures Endorsement Following Marathon Debut
The awards ceremony served as a strategic announcement platform for business attendees as well. Louisa Chan, known for her entrepreneurial ventures, revealed that she was deeply impressed by the vocal abilities of reality show contestant Richie Tam, who gained prominence on Midlife, Sing! 2. Chan subsequently offered Tam an endorsement deal as the ambassador for her brand.
Tam, visibly slimmer, attributed his noticeable weight loss to intense physical training, particularly running. He enthusiastically recounted his recent experience running the 10-kilometer race at the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon for the first time. Tam highlighted the joy of running the event alongside friends, emphasizing the positive impact of fitness on his mood and stamina.
In related news, actor Kevin Cheng, who attended the event, shared recent experiences on the challenges of raising his sons and managing their education, praising his wife Grace Chan for her hands-on approach to parenting. The convergence of professional achievements and personal goals highlighted a dynamic period of transformation for Hong Kong’s entertainment elite.
