Yumi made her first public appearance after the release of face kissing video with Eden Lau Chin Ting, and attended the award ceremony with her two good sisters, Chantel Yiu Cheuk Fei and Windy Zhan Tianwen yesterday. She was very happy to all return with awards. Yumi was asked if she was in a relationship? Yumi emphasized that they were good friends, it was a punishment for losing the game, and she still has not dated yet.
Speaking of Yumi not thanking Eden when she received the award, she generously said that she thanked her family and friends and Eden was her good friend but not her boyfriend. They were not dating, but admitted that the face kissing clip was real. She did not upload it to social networks by mistake. Because she lost at the game of "Truth or Dare" at the Christmas party that night, and the dare was to be kissed on the cheek and posted on the Internet. She did not expect to get a call from her manager immediately, so she quickly deleted it. She never thought the whole thing would be magnified. She explained that after losing the game that day, the punishment was actually to be kissed on the cheek by many people and not only Eden. She also posted the photos; she and Eden have worked together in dramas for several years, and interacted in the plot. In addition they were all born on the same day of the same month, and they also have topic exchanges, so we became friends but have never dated. The company did not scold her for the clip, knowing that they were normal friends. Yet she was worried that the company thought she went overboard with the game. Speaking of whether the company has issued a "love ban"? She said that she had not heard of it, but she thought that dating was a normal experience in life. She still has not tried it, many people around her have developed relationships when they met the right person. Because she was too busy and knew very well what she wanted to do and what she needed, work and school would come first at the current stage. If the time came for dating she would do it, ultimately letting relationships take their natural courses.
Does Yumi have any suitor now? She bluntly said that she felt like there might be but not really, because no one has really pursued her. Speaking of her being a pure goddess in the minds of fans, was she worried that she would lose your fans when dating? She said she has not thought so much about it. Chantel and Windy were asked if they could accept the punishment of the game like kisses on their cheeks? Chantel said that it would depend on the situation, depending on whether she was familiar with the person; Windy refused outright because she did not like to be so close to people.
Yiu Cheuk Fei was very surprised to win the Generation Z Music Force Female Singer gold prize. "When I got to the stage my mind was full of question marks. Because I wasn't in Hong Kong for awhile, I still have support that is full of love. I would keep this state of mind and continue to be young." Zhan Tianwen did not expect to win the Hit Breakthrough Female Singer" bronze prize either. "This year could be considered a great leap forward. Many of my songs were released, and I also have songs from dramas like THE QUEEN OF NEWS 2 and THE QUEEN OF THE CASTLE so many people got to know me. I hope in 2026 I would continue to leap forward and march ahead."
Diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, Natalie Ng Man Yan released a new song "Rebirth" this year and immediately won the "Hit I Support Rookie" award at the award ceremony. She thanked everyone for not minding that she was a 51-year-old newcomer Auntie, and received cheers and applause from the audience. She said in a backstage interview that she was moved by her idol Sammi Cheng Sau Man's words on stage at the beginning of the year, and saw the singers' speeches at the award ceremony, which rekindled her dream of becoming a singer. Yet her condition worsened in February she needed to be hospitalized for treatment. After she was released and a lot of hard work, she went from wheel chair, cane to returning to walking normally. Friends have also been very thoughtful and release the song, because ultimately her medial cost has been costly. In response to the allegations that her condition has deteriorated, she also admitted that she was currently receiving treatment with Chinese and Western medicines because surgery would no longer helped much. The reaction of Chinese medicine was a reaction in the chest, a slight tingling and pus.
One of the big winners Lam Ka Him and Wai Chun Sun were interviewed after the award ceremony. Ka Him did not dare to call himself a big winner and humbly said that all the winners were big winners. He will also release a new song in two days to complete this year's work plan. Ngai Chun Sun was happy to win two and a half awards, and would work even harder next year. Lam Ka Him felt that Ngai Chun Sun's 2.5 awards were a good showing, and joked that he would give him $ 2.5 to congratulate him. Lam Ka Him would release a new song within days and complete this year's four seasons project. Recently Ngai Chun Sun has been repeatedly rumored to wed his girlfriend, and he clarified, "I don't know why the rumor would spread. I have had the idea, I have had it since I have been with her; but I haven't started to implement it. I want to surprise the other half. If we really get married I would definitely notify everyone." As for how he would reward his girlfriend, Ngai Chun Sun laughed and said that his girlfriend values the relationship more than material. He also had to work hard to make money to save up for the wedding. He publicly thanked his girlfriend, "Without her there is no me. She has been toiling away for me day and night. Whether in performing arts or in music, she has helped me brought out a different side."
Gin Lee Hung Ngai was asked if she expected to win 3 awards? She smiled and said, "Don't say that, it's a very happy thing. Thank you to the team for its efforts. I am very happy that I have made a lot of new attempts this year, and the new attempts have also achieved good results. (Are you confident that you will win more at the next award ceremony?) Let's enjoy this moment first, and I wouldn't slow down. I would immediately release new songs and prepare for the concert." Speaking of her record company Emperor winning the most awards, she and Vincy Chan (Wing Yi) excitedly said that they wanted to congratulate all their colleagues at the company; Wing Yi even said that she would invite her colleagues from the company to celebrate with barbecue at home, because her new home had a rooftop and has already held many barbecue activities. She laughed and said that she had experience, and the girl group VIVA and Lee Hung Ngai could not help but cheer. VIVA heard and recommended Ada Geung Wing Yam, who is a good cook, to be the chef.
Metro Radio and Warner have been rumored to have "broken the ice", as many Warner singers performed well at the award show. MC Cheung Tin Fu was also one of the big winners and said, "In terms of breaking the ice, little guys like me of course would listen to what the company says. However I don't feel there is any behavior with ice. Of course I am happy about winning awards. Special thanks to the company executives for helping me with this achievement, only because of them I would have so many works and so many people listening to my songs." He said that he was the happiest thing about winning the album award, because it represented everyone's credit and everyone's achievements. He said that he was ailing as he suspected of eating oysters 3 hours after their expiration of use, or fatty pork the day before, so he had to get two injections for gastroenteritis, and revealed that he bought them at a supermarket.
Warner's Dear Jane won Hit Song with I CRY BECAUSE YOU CRIED and Hit Band Gold prize. Lead singer Tim Wong Tin Ngo said, "We haven't come to Metro for many years, coming back is like a party; we have seen many friends." He revealed that they were planning their 20th anniversary concert tour.
The gold prize for the "Hit Group" was won by Beanies, and the silver and bronze award winners were VIVA and XiX. In an interview with VIVA, member Carina Li Hei Tung said that she was very happy that they had one fast song and one slow song each this year, thought that winning the group award was very meaningful, hoped to work harder to create a good work next year, and said with a smile, "I forgot to thank my teammates on stage, (I did) in my heart. (Did you get scolded once you were off the stage?) No, I just feel guilty."
