Joey Yung Tso-Yi (Chinese: 容祖兒; Cantonese Yale: Yùhng Jóuyìh, pinyin: Róng Zǔ'ér; born June 16, 1980) is a Hong Kong singer signed to Emperor Entertainment Group. Since her debut in 1996, Yung has won numerous awards, including the JSG Most Popular Female Singer and Ultimate Best Female Singer – Gold awards a record-breaking nine times. She was ranked 63rd on the 2014 Forbes China Celebrity 100, making her the most influential Hong Kong–based female singer that year.[1] In 2014, she reportedly earned HK$80 million (US$10.3 million).[2]

Early life

Yung was born on June 16, 1980 at Yan Chai Hospital in Tsuen Wan. She has one younger brother.[3] She has ancestral roots from Xinhui, Guangdong.[4] She attended Ma On Shan Lutheran Primary School, where she was classmates with actor Wong Cho-lam in her sixth grade.

At the age of 15, Yung competed in the Big Echo Karaoke Singing Contest and was subsequently signed by Go East Entertainment Co., Ltd. As an artist under Go East, she recorded the song "The First Time I Want to Be Drunk" as a theme song for a film, but did not gain much recognition and was dropped by the label not long after.[5]

Career

1998–1999: Debut

In 1998, Yung signed with the Hong Kong record label Fitto Entertainment (which was later acquired by Emperor Entertainment Group). In 1999, she was sent abroad for training and began to receive singing lessons from Teresa Carpio and Roman Tam, whom she accompanied on concert tours to gain experience as a performer.[6][7] By that point, she had graduated from the Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education with a diploma in tourism.[7]

On September 29, 1999, she released her debut EP, EP 1 Joey. It sold approximately 130,000 copies in Hong Kong and remained on the IFPI Album Charts for 23 weeks, setting a record for the longest chart-topping stay by a debut artist in Hong Kong.[8]

2000–2009

In February 2000, Yung's apartment in Happy Valley was destroyed in a fire.[9] That year, she made her first film appearance in Winner Takes All and her first television drama appearance in The Green Hope. She also released her second EP, titled EP 2 Can't Afford to Miss, and her first studio album, Who Will Love Me. At the same time, she fronted campaigns for several brands including Four Seas, the Red Cross, and Netvigator, and held her first concert, Joey Yung's 'See You Everywhere' Live Concert, at the Hong Kong Coliseum.

In 2001, Yung released her first compilation album Love Joey, which became the best-selling album of the year, followed by two Cantonese albums, All Summer Holiday and Solemn on Stage. In November, she held her second live concert and first concert series, H2O+ 'Solemn on Stage' Joey Yung Live in Concert 2001 at the Hong Kong Coliseum. She launched her singing career in Taiwan with the release of her first Mandarin album Honestly.

In 2002, she traveled abroad for two months to take dancing lessons, returning to Hong Kong to release the Cantonese album Something About You. She then became the spokesperson of Nissin and Nikon. On October 11, 2002, she released the Mandarin album One Person's Love Song, and at the end of the year, she released her second compilation album, Love Joey 2.

In 2003, Yung became well known for the song "My Pride" (我的驕傲) (the theme song of the TV commercial for Banyan Garden developed by Cheung Kong Holdings), released on March 25, 2003 on the album of the same name. That year, she became the spokesperson of a slimming parlor, losing some weight and presenting a new image. She released the album Show Up! on September 30, 2003 and held her third concert, Show Up! Live at the Hong Kong Coliseum. On December 17, 2003, she released the Mandarin album Sola Portrait (獨照). At the end of the year, she dominated all the major Hong Kong music awards ceremonies, winning a handful of prestigious awards, including the JSG Most Popular Female Singer award and the Gold Song-Gold award (金曲金獎) at the JSG Best Ten Music Awards Presentation for "My Pride." She also won her first Best Female Singer-Gold award at the CRHK Music Awards, becoming the award's youngest ever recipient, and the Media Award for the artist who had accumulated the most awards from the four major music award ceremonies in Hong Kong. Following this, she began the Show Up World Tour, which included dates in Canada, Australia, the United States, Mainland China, Macau, and Malaysia.

In 2004, Yung released the studio album Nin9 2 5ive and her first photo album The Real Joey, Glamour in London. The public responded positively to the photo album, which quickly sold out upon its release. Her second album in 2004, Give Love a Break, was also a commercial success, breaking the platinum mark with pre-orders alone. At the end of the year, Yung released a Cantonese cover of "Chihuahua" (a song previously released in English by DJ BoBo) as part of a Coca-Cola advertising campaign in Hong Kong.

In 2005, Yung released her third compilation album, Love Joey 3, as well as a new Cantonese studio album, Bi-Heart. Her fourth major concert, Reflection of Joey's Live Concert, spanned eight days in October and November. The concert's theme song, "好事多為", was mixed and re-arranged in South Korea, resulting in the "好事多為 Reflection Mix". EEG was sponsored by Sony Ericsson for the theme song's music video.

On February 27, 2006, Yung released her tenth Cantonese studio album, Ten Most Wanted. According to Yung, the album was more experimental and had higher production values than her previous albums. She worked with Mavis Fan for two songs on the album; "Get Fit with Jane Fonda" and "Torn Tongue", both of which had lyrics by Yiu Fai Chow. On 21 July, she released a Mandarin album, Jump Up – 9492.

At the end of 2006, Yung released the Cantonese album Close Up to commercial success, selling out at stores all over Hong Kong as well as online CD stores. A second version of the album was released on January 26, 2007, containing a bonus DVD with music videos for the songs "Splendid Encounter (華麗邂逅)" and "Elated Heart (心花怒放)". Around the same time, Yung held a concert organized by Neway with appearances from other artists such as Anthony Wong, at17, Hins Cheung, Yumiko Cheng, Vincent Wong, and Sun Boy'z.

In 2007, she became Hong Kong's ambassador of the World Vision 30 Hour Famine campaign and visited Kenya in March. On July 5, 2007 she released her fifth Mandarin album, Insignificant Me, with the title track produced by Jay Chou. It was one of her worst-selling Mandarin albums. On July 7, 2007, she performed at the Live Earth concert in Shanghai. On November 7, 2007, she released another album, Glow.

In early 2008, Yung released her fourth compilation album, Love Joey 4 and held her fifth concert, titled StarLight Live, over ten days at the Hong Kong Coliseum. During the concert, she performed "The Power Medley", a 20-minute intense dance medley of her fast-tempo tracks. The concert's success led to a four-night extension. In February 2008, Yung travelled to New York City with the hope of improving her dancing skills. That year, she sang several official songs for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing and began a world tour shortly afterwards with shows in Malaysia, Canada, the United States, Mainland China, Singapore, and Macau.

The year 2009 marked the tenth anniversary of Yung's career with EEG. To celebrate the occasion, two albums (A Time For Us and Very Busy) and a documentary were released, and a mini-concert (Perfect Ten Live at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre's Grand Theatre, where Yung won her first major singing contest in 1995) was held on October 4, 2009, with tickets for the two shows selling out within seven minutes. The Perfect Ten Live Boxset was released in two versions in December 2009: the standard version included two concert DVDs, the Perfect 10 documentary, and a photo album, while the deluxe version contained two more CDs from Perfect Ten Live and more photos. Towards the end of the year, Yung performed at the concert Music Is Live with Mobile Chan and won the Media Award for the third time (having previously won the award in 2003 and 2004).

2010–2019

On January 29, 2010, the 10th Anniversary EP titled Joey Ten was released together with the Joey Ten Boxset. The EP consisted of 10 different covers (9 for Version 1 and 1 for Version 2) and five songs. The Joey Ten Boxset included a photo album, stickers, a thank you card from Yung, a 'Chofy' bookmark, a comic book, a 'Chofy' USB, a DVD, and the new EP ('Chofy' is a plush that represents Joey and the name is a combination of her Chinese name and Miffy). Three songs were promoted from the EP, all reaching number one on at least three charts. In March, Yung concluded her StarLight Tour with two final shows in Sydney and Melbourne. On August 20, 2010, she released another EP, EP2010, and in November she began her Number6 concert, which was her sixth major solo concert held at the Hong Kong Coliseum.

In 2011, Yung took a break for the first time since 2002 and travelled around the world. She stated that she would be focusing on the Mandarin-language market after the break, recording a new Mandarin album and carrying out promotions in Taiwan and Mainland China. On April 26, 2011, Yung became the first Chinese female singer to perform at London's Royal Albert Hall and the third Chinese singer overall, after her mentor Roman Tam in 1979 and Eason Chan in 2010. This was her first concert in Europe. On September 23, 2011, Yung released her 21st studio album, Joey & Joey. From the album, the song "13:00 (13點)" took the number one spot on three of the four major Hong Kong music charts, and the songs "The Tree with a Thousand Flowers (花千樹)" and "Wallpaper (牆紙)" were number ones on all four charts. Joey & Joey became the highest-selling local album of the year. Yung also starred in the film Diva, produced by Chapman To.

During the first half of 2012, she continued to tour with her Number 6 concert in Macau, Reno, Atlantic City, and Toronto. In July, she released her seventh Mandarin album Moment, from which she promoted the songs "Right Time (正好)", "Looking at Flowers Through the Fog (霧裏看花)", and "Increase Power (加大力度)". That year, she sang the theme song "Drama Series (連續劇)" for the TVB show The Hippocratic Crush and received a total of fourteen awards at the four major awards ceremonies.

In May 2013, Yung released her first single of the year, "View in a New Light (另眼相看)". On June 29, 2013, she performed the last date of her Number6 world tour in Resorts World Sentosa in Singapore. On August 15, 2013, she released the album Little Day, which went 4× Platinum. She followed the album up with two compilation albums, the Hopelessly Romantic Collection (released 3 December)[10] and the All Delicious Collection (released December 20, 2016).[11]

Between December 2013 and October 2015, Yung performed in the Ageas Joey Yung in Concert 1314 tour, beginning at the Hong Kong Coliseum and holding dates in China, Malaysia, and the United States. In 2014, Yung suffered another period where she lost her voice and had to take care of family illness. In 2015, Yung performed in concert with Hacken Lee, and she released the EP Me, re-do in April. In 2016, Yung appeared alongside Hacken Lee on the Chinese television series I Am a Singer as the second substitute singer of the season and was eliminated before the second round of the finale.

After six years in planning, Yung performed in My Secret Live in the Concert Hall of Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. It is a concert where all the songs are non-promotional side tracks from all her albums. The venue itself is also lesser known and smaller, as the total full attendance in the 17 shows combined would not amount to half the capacity of the Hong Kong Coliseum. On October 31, 2017, as Yung shifted her focus on commercial sponsorships and various ambassadorial work with Twins, she decided that she would not attend any music awards for the first time in her career in 2017/18 awards season, which was also due to her having no album releases or new works either as a singer or actress in 2017, meaning she would give up defending all her titles during the awards season. [12] [13]

On August 24, Joey Yung held the nineteenth "Pretty Crazy Joey Yung Concert Tour" at the Hong Kong Coliseum. Joey Yung invited many famous singers to the concert as guests, including Andy Lau, Leon Lai Ming, Jacky Cheung, JJ Lin, Nicholas Tse, Ekin Cheng, Jeff Chang, Louis Koo, Kenny Kwan, The Grasshopper, Julian Cheung, Leo Ku, Hacken Lee, etc.[14]

Since 2020: COVID-19 and onward

Due to the pandemic, Yung spent most of her time from mid-2020 onward in China. Yung released a Cantonese single in November 2020 entitled "Live in the Moment (東京人壽)". This also marked the first time Yung participated in the composition of a song she had co-written with Howie from Dear Jane. A special music video for the song was released in December with clips from the Pretty Crazy Tour. In February 2021, "Gone with the Flare (煙花紀)" was released. The song title was inspired by the lyrics of her 2009 hit song "In Search of Deities (搜神記)" from the album A Time for Us.

Yung embarked on the Pretty Crazy Tour in early 2020 before cutting it short in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[15][16] In January 2021, Yung joined the second season of the Chinese reality series Sisters Who Make Waves (season 2) which sees 30 women, all established artists in their own right, compete in various singing and dancing challenges weekly.[17] Cecilia Cheung is also part of the line-up.[18] Yung ranked second during the initial evaluation stage of Episode 1. Yung subsequently led her team to victory for the third public performance.[19] The fifth and final public performance took place in April 2021 and Yung emerged 4th overall in the final results, thus successfully debuting in a team.[20]

Yung released a Chinese single, "So Fresh (featuring Dany Lee)," in August 2021. She joined The Masked Dancer (season 2) as a judge and participant. On September 29, 2021, she released a Cantonese single "After All These (不配)". She also directed the accompanying music video. During a live session, Yung also revealed that she would be releasing her first Cantonese studio album in 5 years by the end of 2021.

On January 1, 2022, Joey Yung joined the "Sailing in the Greater Bay Area, 2022 New Year Concert".[21] On February 1, she performed the song "Ya Ya Ya" at the "2022 Guangdong TV Spring Festival Gala: Leaping Forward in the Greater Bay Area".[21] The following day, she participated in "Blossoming Spring, 2022 Chinese Literary and Art Circles Spring Festival Gala".[22] On May 20, she appeared as a guest star in the second episode of the tenth season of Zhejiang TV’s "Keep Running".[23] On May 31, the theme song "Forward," celebrating the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China and featuring Joey Yung as one of the lead performers, was released on a dedicated website for the anniversary celebrations.[24] At 8 p.m. on June 3, she took part in the CCTV-1 cultural program "Ancient Rhymes, New Voices" for the Dragon Boat Festival, performing the song "Pride of the Fisherman: May Pomegranate Blooms Enchanting".[21] In June, Joey Yung had a video call with Gigi Yim during the "Infinity and Beyond" program,[25] and the music video for the CMG theme song "We Will Be Better," celebrating the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return, performed by Joey Yung and others, was released.[21] On June 27, she performed "The More I Sing, the Stronger I Become" at a cloud concert for the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return[26] and participated in the "Our Bauhinia" cloud concert livestream event.[27] On the evening of July 30, she attended the 36th Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony.[28] On August 14, she joined the 2022 Weibo Movie Awards ceremony.[29]

Personal life

In June 2012, Wilfred Lau publicly announced their relationship, which Yung subsequently confirmed.[30][31] They broke up in 2018.[32] She has openly expressed a pro-establishment stance during the 2019-2020 Hong Kong Protests and was featured prominently in a video campaign by the People's Daily to "oppose violence" and "rebuild Hong Kong."[33] In March 2021, Yung posted on Weibo, expressing her support for cotton made in Xinjiang, after companies suspended purchasing of cotton from there due to human rights concerns.[34]
