#SHOWBIZ: HK actress Jacqueline Wong reflects on cheating scandal, career comeback
HONG KONG: Actress Jacqueline Wong's career faced a significant setback in 2019 when she was embroiled in a cheating scandal with singer Andy Hui, who was, at the time, married to Cantopop icon Sammi Cheng. The repercussions were immediate and severe: her former agency, TVB, suspended her projects and re-shot her scenes in the 2020 drama Forensic Heroes IV, as reported by Dimsum Daily. After a four-year hiatus from the entertainment scene, Wong, now 36, made her return in 2023, stepping into the music industry as a singer with her debut single, "Crown Me." More recently, she released her self-composed song, "The Beauty Of Seeing Through The World," a track in which she candidly addresses the emotional fallout of the scandal. In a recent interview with Hong Kong media, Wong revealed that it took her years to fully process the incident and channel those intricate emotions into her music. Despite six years having passed, she confessed that the experience remains indelible. "I'll never forget it. This incident has already become part of my life experience. It really happened, so there's no need to run from it or fear people bringing it up," she said. "That's just life. If you make a mistake, you have to take responsibility. I've accepted that it's part of my past." Meanwhile, Andy Hui, 57, is reportedly planning a reunion concert with his band Big Four in August. When asked if she had any interest in attending, Wong politely declined, stating she preferred to offer her support from a distance. "Everyone is working hard to move forward in life, and I wish Andy and his band members well," she said. Wong also took the opportunity to express her gratitude for her husband, drummer Lai Man Wang, whom she credits as a constant source of encouragement during her challenging times. The couple tied the knot on 27 October 2023. "He's my spring, summer, autumn and winter," she said.
