Ekin Cheng, 55, Reveals Why Wife Yoyo Mung Now Lives In Japan

Hong Kong star Ekin Cheng, 55, has been staying under the radar for the past three years, with his last project being Chinese fantasy action film Love Illusion (2018).

However, fans of the actor-singer can now rejoice as he will be holding an upcoming concert, and is appearing in a new movie.

Ekin recently guested on Carol Cheng’s radio show, where he spoke about his wife, Hong Kong actress Yoyo Mung, 49.

For those who don't know, Yoyo now lives in Japan.

He said that Yoyo is now learning Japanese, and was recommended by a few pals to go into real estate in Japan, which ultimately made her decide to live there long-term.

When asked if he misses Yoyo, Ekin, who is still based in Hong Kong, sweetly revealed that they often make video calls to each other.

He also added that it is easy to travel to and from Japan, and they would often make time to meet each other.

Besides speaking about his wife, Ekin also talked about how he has been “deceived” by “weird scripts” before.

There are directors, he said, who would hype up their movie’s plot with an over-the-top description.

After accepting a role in the movie, Ekin would reach the set and discover that the script is completely different from what was described.

Though he would be angry about getting "duped", he would have no choice but to accept it as what it is and play his role well.

Ekin also gave his stand on netizens who leave mean comments. He said that he doesn’t like looking at comments online as they mostly attack actors for the sake of it.

He added that he does not exist to please these haters, and since he is unable to control the way they think, he would intentionally avoid looking at their responses.

However, he says that Yoyo is different, and extremely meticulous when it comes to dealing with the same situation.

She often keeps tabs on the comments netizens make online, and would convey some of these opinions to him.
