Why it matters
The story reflects broader cultural discussions regarding work-life balance and the personal challenges faced by public figures.
HONG KONG, Oct 6 — Since her marriage with singer-actor Ekin Cheng in 2013, Yoyo Mung has mostly been out of the spotlight, only starring in a handful of films up to 2019.
Following a six-year hiatus, the 53-year-old Hong Kong actress is back with the new film Good Trip, playing actor Nick Cheung’s onscreen wife.
In a recent interview on the YouTube talk show Kam Shing Mode, she talked about how stepping away from acting has greatly reduced her stress.
Yoyo, who was with TVB until 2013, said her father died in 2022 while her sister died last year, so she no longer feels the need to force herself to work hard.
She currently lives a simple and frugal life, at most only buying T-shirts and sportswear monthly.
According to her, Ekin, 59, had even jokingly remarked that she dresses like a “village auntie”.
