"Miss Hong Kong Pageant 2026" is having its grand final tonight. Before the new top three winners are crowned, a red carpet ceremony was held. Kenneth Ma, who is making his debut as a Miss Hong Kong host, appeared alongside his good brothers, Edwin Siu, who was wearing a deep V, and Raymond Cho. When interviewed by the hosts, Kenneth repeatedly expressed his anxiety: "Being the host of Miss Hong Kong for the first time, I am very scared...legs are also shaking". Also pointed out that [he] has already prepared beforehand, which is the seeking-for-help look, asking Luk Ho Ming, who is experienced in hosting, to come to the rescue at any time.

When Kenneth, Edwin, and Raymond were interviewed again, Kenneth was still saying that he was nervous: "Just got back from completing a fan meeting in Mainland. Also did not have time to rehearse, so very nervous. Believe that [I] will still be feeling this nervous after completing the programme and getting home". Raymond shared the sentiment, saying, "More nerve-wracking than holding a concert". Also pointed out that Edwin has experience hosting Miss Kong, laughingly saying, "[If we] mess up this time, it'll be Edwin's fault". Edwin expressed, "The three of us are in this together--we sink or swim as one. Giving it our all. We're actually also very happy that the company has given the three of us such a big show. Doing it with apprehension and caution, but hope to be able to put on a good show!" Raymond also expressed his hope to perform very well. Asked if he had given his good brothers some tips, Edwin expressed that there was no need, as each of them also had his own showing point. For instance, for Kenneth, it is definitely the natural blankness, while Raymond frequently makes blunders; thus, everyone does not need to find it very strange. Edwin said that, because the three had just released the new song 《三生有幸》, even intially thought that [they] had been invited as guest performers for the Miss Hong Kong final. Asked if [they] would take the opportunity to sing a few words, he said, "Already need a while to memorize the script, how would [I] be able to remember the song lyrics, too?"

Mentioning that the three are responsible for asking the contestants questions during the swimsuit segment, the three immediately became excited. Kenneth jokingly said that Edwin had already been waiting for many years. Edwin inmediately expressed, "If not, would not do it (host)". Raymond also frankly said, "The most happy thing is this part!" The three also highly praised the 12 contestants for already displaying great charm during rehearsals, being more quick-witted than they are.

Did they tell their other halves after founding out that they had to host Miss Hong Kong? Edwin said that his wife trusts him, so would not be suspicious of them or say something to give them a hard time about it. Raymond jokingly said that he had not spoken to his wife since finding out. Kenneth expressed that he actually told his wife to not watch it...afraid of letting [her] see [his] blundering performance.

Kenneth also said that he would rather have dead air than say the wrong thing on stage because there are numerous executives present in the audience, causing Edwin to to say with added psychological pressure, "Was not nervous originally, but hearing him say that makes [me] nervous, too". As for Edwin's sexy look, he said that it was related to the Hong Kong contestants: "Everyone has also worked so hard to lose ten-plus pounds. I also cannot lose face. Have also been exercising for the past few weeks. Hope to unintentionally expose [myself]. Actually, the outfit was chosen by the designer; there was only one available". Kenneth also said that [he] did not have a choice in the matter; otherwise, would not have to act as a host, but it is also a happy matter. Edwin also said that he believes that this collaboration would definitely be a wonderful memory for them...even heard that there is a chance to collaborate again on a variety programme.

Regarding Tong Chun Chung coming back out, Kenneth pointed out that his father-in-law has always had commercial performances...simply has not filmed a series for a long time, and also said that, if he were to hold another concert, would consider inviting his father-in-law as a guest performer. However, his father-in-law is very busy...have to ask the elder about his wishes first. Finally, talking about Chantel Yiu, who had tried to send him a letter as a young fan when she was in primary school, Edwin said, "I only knew about it much later. If [I[ had known sooner, she probably would have made her debut even earlier".

Kenneth Ma Nervous to the Point of Legs Shaking in Hosting Debut, Passes with 'Natural Blankness'

"Miss Hong Kong Pageant 2026" concluded successfully [tonight]. TV king Kenneth, who acted as one of the hosts for the first time, admitted before the show that he was so nervous that his legs were shaking; however, in the end, there were no major blunders, successfully completing the mission by using his signature 'natural blankness' on stage. After the show, Kenneth accepted an interview with his two partners, Edwin and Raymond. When Kenneth was asked to rate his performance, he said, "I don't dare to give [myself] a score. I am still memorizing 「轉頭見」 and 「出年見」!" Edwin and Raymond laughingly said that it felt as if a weight had been lifted from their shoulders, pointing out that there was no problem with Kenneth's performance. Edwin said, "It was okay. Actually, the three of us are often together. If one were missing, it would feel incomplete. Whether things go well or not, the three of us would also face it together". Raymond jokingly said, "If [you] even mess up saying 'see you in a bit' and 'see you next year', would actually have to get [your] contract terminated!"

Asked if [he] would consider hosting if the company invited [him] again next year, Kenneth laughingly said that the company likely would not consider it. Asked if the emcee script was tailored specifically for him, he said, "Definitely. They wrote the script to accommodate me. Definitely have to give credit to Luk Ho Ming and Leonard Cheng; they took all the tough, technical stuff. Next, it was Edwin and Raymond, and I got whatever was left over. Next time, what [I] hope for the most is that [they] leave me with a single word...ha ha".

Kenneth Ma Gets Wife's Green Light to 'Romance' Samantha Ko, Brilliantly Acts Out a Warm Guy, Vows to Be a Doting Dad Who Pampers His Daughter

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

stheadline Clip

Kenneth Ma has reunited with his good friend, Samantha Ko, in the series "Mrs. Revenge"; this onscreen couple has collaborated from "Go! Go! Go! Operation C9" and "The Airport Diary" to "The QUEEN of News". This time, in the series, Kenneth has transformed into a warm guy who watches over Samantha from afar. He expressed, "This time, the role is rather simple. Is a warm guy...is an exclusive angel to Samantha in the series. Perhaps her character is too pitiable, so the screenwriters arrranged for someone to go guard her". Asked if being a warm guy would be very difficult, Kenneth laughingly said that the character in the series is too perfect...may be very difficult to appear in real life: "Usually, if a good man is also good to every female in the series, he is a typical male lead. However, it's different this time. He is only good to Samantha; that's the character's most appealing part. He is the most faithful guy!"

In real life, Kenneth is known as a male artiste with zero negative comments. Asked about his most warm guy actions in his daily life, he laughingly said, "The most basic is having to take care of [my] family--the family with my mother and the family with my wife. A man has to support two households...it is a very natural thing. The most important thing is having a sense of responsibility; however, many males at TVB also have a sense of responsibility, such as Moses Chan, Ruco Chan, Shaun Tam, et al. Even Cheung Wing Hong, who plays the antagonist in the series, is a man who loves his wife".

Kenneth Ma Unlocks the Achievement of Zero Negative Comments

Talking of his frequent collaborations with Samantha, Kenneth laughingly said, "Samantha is the only female I do not need to report to my wife about when filming. She and Samantha are too familiar with one another. With other partners, would also mention it. It is only when collaborating with Samantha that my wife would say, 'No need to tell me. Just go ahead and film it!' Thus, I also do not worry about filming with Samantha on whatever acting project. She is the only female who has my wife's seal of approval". Kenneth laughingly said that, when he became familiar with [Roxanne] Tong, already knew that she and Samantha were extremely good friends: "They are good besties. Before my wife and I started [dating], the two of them had already discussed it and had asked each other's opinion". Kenneth also really wants to help his good friend, Samantha, find a partner: "However, it's extremely difficult because she is on too high of a level. Have to select very carefully for her. I am also anxious on her behalf!"

Kenneth Ma Refuses to Hold Solo Shows, Fears He Might 'Faint'

Kenneth has recently embarked on a singing career, holding shows everywhere with his good brothers, Edwin Siu and Raymond Cho. Singing from cities in Mainland to North America, the shows have been non-stop. However, as Edwin and Raymond are joining series productions soon, have to coordinate their schedules in order to be able to continue their singing journey: "Very happy to sing with them. There's no pressure when the three of us are on stage. If I had to sing over 20 songs alone on stage, would probably faint! There's actually no pressure with them. Furthermore, we are also very easygoing...don't fight over things. Sometimes have to push them to the centre spot. It also doesn't matter for a lot of things for us. As long as the three of us all look handsome, it's okay!"

Asking Kenneth if there were a chance he might perform solo, he immediately declined: "Would probably not for concerts! However, I am also preparing a fan meeting in Mainland. Was originally scheduled for Chengdu but got postponed due to venue issues!" After preparing in various locations, Kenneth is grateful to have built a fan base in Mainland, laughingly saying that the power of TVB series still exists: "Series have garnered a large audience. When we go to different places to work, everyone would also buy tickets to show his or her support...perhaps it is because it evokes memories of the series. The atmosphere is extremely good!"

Kenneth Ma Says That He Does Not Have a Singing Background

Kenneth laughingly said that he does not have a singing background; thus, the audience does not hold him to a high standard: "Before the first performance, Edwin was also a bit scared when he heard me sing, so he introduced a vocal coach to me". He also laughingly said that he has already improved and is able to feel the impact of concerts, as well as the earning power of this 'side gig'. Because of this, he also plans to continue with it. The three even released the collaborative song 《三生有幸》 to commemorate this friendship: "The lyrics are very meaningful, conveying that encountering every person who cherishes you in life is also a blessing and worth being grateful for". He also frankly said that many clips of his performances have been circulating on Xiaohongshu, attracting numerous job offers for him; thus, this time away from [filming] series is still rewarding.

Kenneth Ma Cherishes His Family Even More After the Pain of Losing His Father

Apart from singing, Kenneth is also devoting his time to his family: "My father passed away late last year, so also want to spend more time with my mother. My wife has a lot of ideas for daily activities, and I would help her carry them out, such as being the driver, etc. Ha ha!" There are more opportunities of being in each other's company, and there are frequent rumours that a good matter is near. Kenneth laughingly said, "It's a very normal thing...just like how it was speculated a few times when we were not married yet. Thanks to everyone for his or her concern. We are also leaving it to fate. (Pictured having children when you got married?) Have. My wife would worry about the issue of parenting. Instilling the right values is indeed quite difficult. When I watch the news, also find that it is quite difficult to raise children...ha ha! However, I am also confident that [we] are able to raise a child with the right values. Believe that it will require a significant investment of time". He admitted that he and his wife have a lot of topics on children: "My wife says that, if we have kids, I would definitely be an indulgent father, and she would be forced to be the 'bad cop'. Can't do anything about it. I feel that dads would also be like this. When I see Edwin with his son, his son would get whatever he wants. If it were a daughter, it would definitely be even more dangerous. Would even give [my] life to her...how could [I] have the heart to scold [her]?! Usually, the dad is the softie, while the mom would handle the discipline. I am very confident that my wife is able to become a reliable mother". As for whether they are actively trying for a baby, Kenneth is trying a 'let-nature-take-its-course' approach, choosing the most natural method to implement it.

Kenneth Ma Has Zero Confidence and Shaking from Fear of Hosting Miss Hong Kong, Reveals That Even Roxanne Tong Scoffed at the Idea, May Get Scolded by All of Hong Kong; Rosita Kwok Has Immense Pressure Performing the Clarinet

Kenneth Ma, Roxanne Ho, Rosita Kwok, Cathy Wong, Cheung Wing Hong, Matthew Ho, et al. attended a promotional event for the series "Mrs. Revenge" today. The actors played a 'kabedon' game at the event. When Cheung Wing Hong was playing with Rosita and Amber Chan, he was immediately teased for only coming to promote as he had luck with the females. When Kenneth was playing with Roxanne Ho and Li Hoi Tung, he kept his distance from the two, even using his strength to push against the cardboard on either side to avoid 'getting kabedon-ed'.

Kenneth Ma Aims to Successfully Navigate the Challenge of Hosting Miss Hong

Kenneth and Rosita will be acting as a host and a guest performer respectively for "Miss Hong Kong Pageant 2026" on Sunday. The two both expressed that they are extremely worried. Kenneth revealed that, after graduating from the training class, the company previously asked him to audition to be a host, but has also not been approached in the 26 years since. Thus, he is very worried about getting him to host this time, saying that, while he, Edwin Siu, and Raymond Cho also usually put each other down and make snide remarks at one another, cannot embarrass the contestants. Have to enliven the atmosphere while helping them, and afraid of his on-the-spot reactions falling short. Can only rely on Edwin and Raymond. He will do his best to not say anything, even preparing for the likelihood of getting scolded by viewers: "I am really very worried. The script that the company has given me has already been simplified as much as possible. Plus, it is a live broadcast, so the pressure is even greater, and I also have not recognized all the Miss Hong Kong contestants yet".

Roxanne Tong Questions Her Husband's Hosting Abilities

Kenneth's wife, Roxanne Tong, was also a Miss Hong Kong contestant. Did he practice with her? He said, "Cannot rehearse for these. Also don't know what questions will be asked, and I also have to react after the answers are given. When my wife found out that I'm going to be a host for Miss Hong Kong, her reaction was, 'Huh? You're going to be a host for Miss Hong Kong?' I really have zero confidence. Hope to make it through unscathed". Mentioning that Edwin had previously acted as a host for Miss Hong Kong but was criticized for fumbling his lines, Kenneth joked that, this time, everyone should be shifting his or her scolding at him instead.

Rosita Kwok Picks Up the Clarinet Again, Practicing Diligently to Avoid Going Off-Key

Rosita, who is acting as a guest performer, is not only singing but will also be playing the clarinet, performing on stage with Edmond Leung, Celina Harto, and Zoie Tse. Rosita expressed that both singing and playing an instrument are challenging, laughingly pointing out that she learned the clarinet for a few years during her school days, but had already put it aside after graduating. Also did not use the clarinet for her talent performance during the Miss Hong Kong Pageant. When [she] picked it up again earlier, immediately played off-key; later, it was considered okay with practice. Hope that it will not go off-key then. Also said that [she] had rehearsed with Edmond. He had offered her advice, and she also sought tips from friends who know how to sing, though whether she takes it in still depends on herself.

Kenneth Ma Does Not Admit to Being the 'Ultimate Warm Guy', Reveals That Wife Roxanne Tong's Home-Cooked Meals Make Father-in-Law Jealous

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

Ming Pao Clip

In the TVB series "Mrs. Revenge", Kenneth Ma plays the 'guardian angel' to female lead Samantha Ko, being described as a true-to-life portrayal and being called the 'ultimate warm guy'. He says that he falls far short of the perfection of his character in the series, revealing that he and his wife, Roxanne Tong, have been married for two years; the key to getting along lies in mutual accommodation. Kenneth highly praised his wife for changing for love, frequently making home-cooked meals, which has made his father-in-law, Tong Chun Chung, jealous. Kenneth, who lost his father late last year, is even more attentive in caring for his mother, often visiting his mother with his wife. Happy that his wife does not mind three-person outings...the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along harmoniously.

Regarding being accepted as the 'ultimate warm guy' within and outside of the series, Kenneth does not agree with it, saying that his character, 「葉家謙」, in the series often acts as a 'guardian angel' by Samantha's side, a character that lives in a fairytale world and is "far more perfect than I am!" However, he agrees that 'companionship' is far more important than using money and material goods to satisfy your family: "As long as [I] am not working, would stay home to play with the cats and chat with my wife, make time to visit [my] original home, accompany my mom on walks or shop hand-in-hand, and even help my elder sister handle various errands".

Kenneth is said to have exceptional 'survival instincts', having a knack for getting along with females. He views it as doing ordinary things; it may be related to growing up in a household with more females: "Ever since I was young, my mom also held my hand. Now, I hold onto her...it's very natural. If the three of us--my wife, my mom, and I--go out together, let my wife hold my mom's hand, while I follow behind carrying things and am responsible for driving, doing my best to accommodate them".

Praises His Wife's Forgiving Nature

Kenneth and Roxanne have remained as loving as ever in their two years of marriage, with their daily life defined by mutual accommodation. Kenneth, who has always loved cars like his own life, revealed that he has relaxed the eating and drinking rules in his car for his wife: "I used to forbid anyone from eating and drinking in my car, but for my wife, it's fine". He highly praised his wife's forgiving nature. [He] went to the US to do a stage performance earlier, and [he] lost [his] wedding ring. [He] was 'waiting to be punished' upon returning to Hong Kong. Roxanne resolved the issue with her life wisdom: "Lost [my] wedding ring in the US...it's a big deal! I was terrified at the time, but had already gotten on the plane and flown back...really cannot find it. Of course, had to come clean to my wife. She did not kick up a fuss at all; instead, was very excited: 'Yay! I can pick out a new style and buy another pair'". Even immediately went online to browse new styles".

After getting married, Roxanne has frequently been rumoured to be pregnant. Kenneth is grateful for his wife putting in so much effort for love and already has her mindset to have a child at any time...willing to slow down her performing arts career for [their] family. Her cooking skills have also improved significantly, surprising the family. Kenneth sweetly said, "I give Roxanne's cooked vegetables 80 points and high praises. Skilled at grilling steak, spaghetti bolognese, and desserts. I also finish everything every time. Even my father-in-law says, 'My daughter has never cooked for me before!'"

Talking about the possibily of developing a husband-and-wife partnership, Kenneth does not mind shooting ads together. If they were to act with each other, his wife has some worries: "Roxanne is afraid that she would not be able to hold in her laughter when she sees me saying my lines. She encourages me to go out more for work so that she can do less".

Wants to Win the Mark Six if He Had the Ability to Foresee the Future

In "Mrs.", Samantha's character has the ability to foresee the future after being reborn. Asking him what he would do if he had such a superpower in real life, Kenneth laughingly said, "It's too stressful to look into the future. What if I see when I'm going to die? Instead, want to travel back to the era when I was born...watch how my parents raised me from afar and see how mischievous I was when I was younger. Or see what my wife looked like when she was younger...should have been very lively". However, in the end, Kenneth still hopes to fulfill his dream of getting rich: "If [I] had the ability to foresee the future, would want to know the winning numbers for the next two Mark Six draws. In the past, I never even won a lucky draw for an eraser before".

Collaborating with Samantha for the fifth time, Kenneth notes their excellent chemistry, shooting their scenes quickly and precisely. Because Samantha is the lead, there was a lot of screentime and immense pressure with little rest, sympathizing with her strain: "She filmed a group scene involving five sisters. I thought that she did a great job, but she was not happy. Felt that it wasn't perfect, so took the initiative to reshoot it. She holds herself to an incredibly high standard". Kenneth highly praised Rosita Kwok for her rapid improvement: "Her real-life personality is silly. Quite successful in portraying a green tea bitch. There was a solo scene at a wedding; after it was finished filming, the entire series crew also applauded her". As for Kayan Yau, who played his unruly younger sister, Kenneth said thar her performance was not bad, laughingly saying that they have an age gap; fortunately, there was no gemeration gap: "I listened to what she shared; young people would also have a stroke of genius".

No Series to Film Yet, Enjoying Lucrative Commercial Performances

Kenneth has recently branched into being a singer, partnering up with Edwin Siu and Raymond Cho to form a 「三生有幸」 concert tour, completing their fifth show in Macau earlier and releasing a single of the same name. TVB has reduced the production of series in recent years. Asking him whether he is worried about his future in the performing arts, Kenneth calmly said, "In the past, filmed five or six series a year...was actually very terrifying. Right now, have not accepted a new series for the time being. Greatly enjoying making money from commercial performances all around. After all, the company pays my salary..would naturally look for me [if] there is a suitable script".

Nancy Wu Returns to Her Roots with the Release of Debut Solo Single "Also Good to Not Know Yet", Revisits Her Primary School Alma Mater to Shoot the MV to Dig Up the Starting Point of Her Musical Dreams

Nancy Wu is officially releasing her debut solo single, 《未知也好》, [on the 26th]. It is a warm, healing track that encourages everyone; even in adulthood, there is no harm in being reckless or losing one's way occasionally. Life does not have a set roadmap that can be duplicated. Facing the uncertainties in life, it is better to learn to relax.

In the past, Nancy primarily sang series songs, requiring her to embody the stories of the characters in the series; this time, the song, from its concept to its content, stems entirely from her own experiences and thoughts, allowing her to interpret it from the heart. The song specially chose a theme of healing and encouragement, inspired by tidbits of life that she heard when communicating with fans and her observations of the many people around her grappling with confusion and the unknown in recent years. Drawing from her own journey, starting out in a singing competition and then constantly discovering herself and gaining recognition as an actor, she proves that life's path is often unpredictable, hoping this song provides companionship and strength to people.

Nancy frankly said that she is very happy to release a song as a singer in 2026, while also being very grateful for her experiences in the performing arts. She expressed, "I was able to apply my actor's mindset to the song 《未知也好》. The me who simply liked to sing back then never would have guessed that I would become an actor, and even discovered myself and gained everyone's support through acting. Having the opportunity to release my own song now, perhaps it is actually the perfect moment". Because of this, Nancy encourages everyone: even if the road ahead is uncertain, simply moving forward step by step not only allows [you] forge you own path but would even encounter unexpected scenery along the way. Just as the lyrics are written: "It is also good to still not know yet. Relax and able to feel it. Will find the answer awaiting just around the bend".

To capture the essence of the lyrics of pursuing one's original passion, Nancy specially returned to her alma mater, St. Anthony's School in Pokfulam, to shoot the new song's MV. She revealed, "The song begins with talking about [my] mindset when studying in school when [I] was young. Singing is my original passion, so without hesitation, felt that the opening scene had to certainly be shot at [my] primary school, St. Athony's School. I already really liked singing in primary school. Was in the choir and served as the lead vocalist at school masses. Music class was [my] favourite. Standing on the school hall stage again for the shoot this time, it felt like going back to my roots and looking back at myself". Apart from thanking the school for providing the venue, she was also thankful to the school for specially arranging to have two young students take part in the performance, representing different stages of her growth.

Apart from returning to her alma mater, through other storylines, the MV also conveyed the message that "no matter [your] age or stage in life, [you] also must take a brave step toward pursuing [your] dreams". The MV invited Max, the founder of a coffee brand, to take part in the performance. Nancy revealed that she had previously seen Max on social media, personally driving around to offer people coffee and documenting the journey from scratch. Was deeply moved by his spirit of daring to try something...believes that this is the encouragement that [she] hopes the new song would bring to people.

Having completed the production of the first song that belongs to her, Nancy greatly looks forward to having even more [music] in the future, continuing to explore and discover herself while focusing on doing what she likes.

Kenneth Ma Obsessed with Cleanliness, Makes an Exception for Roxanne Tong

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

ontv Clip

The TVB series "Mrs. Revenge" is currently airing and has received many good comments after its release. Kenneth Ma, who plays 「葉家謙」, has even been praised for being a good man both on and offscreen. He jokingly said that it may be because Samantha Ko's character in the series had too rough of an experience; the screenwriters, unable to bear it, added a warm guy for her, pointing out that this good man character only exists in fairytales, modestly saying that he himself does not have such good qualifications.

Kenneth and Roxanne Tong officially became husband and wife in 2023. Asked if his mindset or acting approach would have some sort of scruples or inhibitions when playing warm guys or husband roles now that he is married, he frankly said that he also merely follows the script. Of course, have to inform his wife [if] there were intimate scenes, though Roxanne also would not mind, as she is also a professional actor herself. However, Kenneth laughingly pointed out that, after becoming a husband, [he] realized that there is a discrepancy between the husbands in the series and reality: "Filming involves tropes, but in real life, [when] two people live together, truly facing each other for 24 hours a day!" He believes that real-life marriage definitely requires mutual understanding; if only one party makes compromises, this marriage definitely would not last. [He] also pointed out that everyone might assume that he is the only one making concessions for his wife, but there are actually times when Roxanne also makes compromises for him. Kenneth also revealed, "I'm really foolish when it comes to online stuff! For instance, I would find it a hassle to pay electricity bills or gas bills online...can't be bothered to deal with it. Plus, read about so many scams where it is so easy to get the entire account balance drained through online transactions! Actually, my wife is scared of hassles as much as I am, but can't do anything about it because I am not willing to handle it, so she ends up handling it". When asked about the areas where he has to accommodate his wife, he frankly said that he is a person who loves cars, specificially paying attention to the tidiness of the interior; however, his wife loves to eat and drink in the vehicle the most, which also really bothered him at first: "But now, I don't mind anymore. (Because [she is] already your wife?) She is the only person who is allowed to do that...ha ha!" He believes that women should ultimately be accommodated and cherished. Even when in a standoff where each side is holding his or her ground, he also ultimately ends up being the one to 'give way'.

In addition, it was mentioned that he had received positive comments after holding shows in Mainland with his good friends, Edwin Siu and Raymond Cho. When asked if shifting focus to the music scene, given that TVB has reduced the production of series in recent years, might be a good choice, Kenneth frankly said that he still loves acting the most, laughingly pointing out that commercial performances usually only require a few songs; however, the setlist is much longer when holding a show: "These are songs that I had heard of but had never sung before. Later, got dragged off by the two of them to practice singing. After hearing [me] for the first time, Edwin said, '[We're] in trouble!'" He expressed gratitude to his brothers for not giving up on him and for acting as his vocal coaches. Thanks to diligent practice, there has been improvement, and with the support of sponsors, even successfully took their show beyond Asia to the US; he was also pleasantly surprised by the unexpected good news. Asked if [they] would consider forming a boy band in the long run, he said, "No need. The three of us can continue holding concerts. It just so happens that there aren't many series being produced right now. These are opportunities to make money. Plus, many people in Mainland also grew up watching our series. More forgiving of my singing...already satisfied as long as it is not too bad". He pointed out that his wife, Roxanne, often teases him about his mediocre singing skills, laughingly saying that he also agrees, as it is only barely passable, revealing that [he] plans to find a coach to seriously learn how to sing.

Kenneth Ma Forced to Choose Female Partner in the Series, Uses Wife as a Shield

When Kenneth Ma, Samantha Ko, Cathy Wong, Rosita Kwok, Hera Chan, Kayan Yau, Matthew Ho, executive producer Chung Shu Kai, et al. attended a promotional event for the TVB series "Mrs. Revenge" today, Chung Shu Kai praised Rosita for becoming prettier; Rosita laughingly said that she put on the green tea cream and thanked the producer for giving this role. Chung Shu Kai also asked Kenneth which of the series' actresses he would choose; Kenneth laughingly said that he would choose his wife, Roxanne Tong, but Chung Shu Kai laughingly pointed out that he certainly had to choose Hera because she is rich. Hera immediately agreed that money is very important. As for Amber Chan, she was also praised by Chung Shu Kai for acting out her kabedong scene well, initially thinking that it was a natural performance, but it turned out that she had received direction from the director.

When interviewed, Samantha revisited the scene where her character slapped Cheung Wing Hong after receiving a marriage proposal, admitting that, while her expression conveyed a great sense of satifaction at the time, she was actually deeply apologetic during filming: "Slapped him several times to accommodate the camera angles. One was particularly heavy-handed, making a loud sound. Saw that Cheung Wing Hong's face also turned red afterward. Immediately apologized to him after the 'cut'". Kenneth expressed that, if having to film a slapping scene, he would much rather be the one getting slapped...dreads having to strike a female co-star the most. He laughingly said, "I have been slapped by quite a few colleagues in the past, but the most memorable was getting slapped hard by Natalie Tong when filming 'The Invisibles'...it was very painful!"

Asking Kenneth about dropping his wedding ring earlier, which he still has not replaced, "My wife is still picking out a style; she has a few options!" Samantha asked if he would upgrade to a larger diamond. Kenneth: "Luckily, it was the wedding one, not the proposing one. If it had been the proposing one, would really be in trouble!" The wedding one was not that expensive!" He even revealed that his wife was thrilled when she found out that the ring was lost because [she] could pick out a new style.
