Katy Kung at Jason and Sarah’s wedding

Celebrity couple Jason Chan and Sarah Song tied the knot on September 19 in England. The couple work with major broadcaster TVB in Hong Kong; Jason is an actor while Sarah a host in news and variety programs. Many of their colleagues attended the wedding, and I find this photo really likeable…

In the middle is Katy Kung, who attended the ceremony as a groomsmaid. She starred as Jason’s sister in Be Home for Dinner, a modern sitcom series. She’s also a good friend with the bride.

The groom was born in London, so I presume they held the wedding near the city for that reason. Most celebrities hold multiple ceremonies and banquets for their marriage these days, bet they will have celebrations in Hong Kong too. Congratulations and have a happy life.

Jill Vidal ft. San E – Being Told Chinese MV

Hong Kong based British singer Jill Vidal is making her comeback, six years after her drug scandal in 2009. She was found guilty for drugs possession in Japan but escaped prison time. Her rising showbiz career was badly affected though.

Vidal was only semi-active since the scandal until signing with Warner Music HK in 2015. She released a new single, titled Being Told (被滿足的愛), in May 2016. She went to Seoul to record the song which featured popular Korean rapper San E.

It’s actually a decent song. There’s clear K-pop elements and it sounds different from standard Cantopop, which may be a good thing since Cantopop is going nowhere these days. This could just be the song she needs for a reboot.

This photo shoot is a rare public feature since late 2014. She’s likely to return to showbiz after her graduation (in 2018 if things go smoothly). It’s not clear whether she will be back to Hong Kong or try her luck in other places instead. She will probably branch out into directing too.
