#SHOWBIZ: Actress Katy Kung denies frequenting racecourse to 'hunt for a rich husband'
8Days reported yesterday that several netizens noted her repeated appearances at the venue, with some even suggesting that she might be facing a slowdown in her acting career and was "hunting for a rich husband".
Despite winning Best Actress at the TVB Anniversary Awards last year, Kung, 35, is rumoured to have received no new job offers in the past eight months and only has one remaining drama left to air with TVB.
In an interview with Hong Kong news outlet HK01, Kung firmly dismissed the accusations, emphasising that her recent visit to the racecourse was simply to support a close friend.
When asked if her friend had tried to introduce her to any potential suitors, the Big Biz Duel (2024) star brushed off the idea, adding that she was in no rush to find love.
"We rarely talk about such things," she said.
Kung also rubbished rumours that she was out of work.
She added that many brands had approached her since her Best Actress win, and she was currently enjoying some downtime before committing to new projects.

#SHOWBIZ: HK actor Lee Lung Kei, 74, denies rift with fiancee, 38
HONG KONG: Veteran singer and actor Lee Lung Kei has dismissed rumours of a rift in his relationship with his 38-year-old fiancée, Chris Wong. Speculation began circulating online after a photo of the 74-year-old star dining with friends in Canada was shared, with many people noticing Wong's absence. In an interview with Hong Kong news portal HK01, Lee dismissed the claims, stating that he had personally accompanied Wong to her parents' home in Foshan, China, before travelling to the United States and Canada for his shows. "People must have seen some YouTubers spreading rumours online, right? Don't believe these so-called YouTubers," the former TVB star added. Regarding their wedding plans, Lee revealed that the couple wants to keep things low-key, as Wong wishes to step out of the public eye. "I promised her I would keep things on the down-low from now on. She hopes to fade out of the spotlight soon, so all I can say is we're doing well," he said. Wong, a Chinese national whose real name is Wang Qingxia, was sentenced by the Shatin Magistrates' Court in June 2024 after pleading guilty to five charges related to overstaying in Hong Kong and forging university certificates to obtain an entry permit. During her time in prison, Lee wrote her letters every one to two weeks to keep her spirits up. He also expressed his wish to marry her after her release and even purchased a gold bracelet earlier this year in preparation for their wedding. Wong was deported upon her release on July 7 and crossed into mainland China via the Shenzhen Bay Immigration Control Point.
