Biography
[edit]Chung was born on 17 December 1994, in Hong Kong.[1] She became interested in films and comics when she was young, especially Pixar animated movies and Hong Kong comics.[2] She was motivated to become an actress after watching Japanese actress Fumi Nikaido's films.[3] Chung joined Asian Millionstar 3, a talent show program hosted by Asia Television, in 2010 when she was 15 years old. She was eliminated in the round of 16.[4] She later attended Hong Kong Baptist University in 2014 and featured as a background actor in Heiward Mak's 2014 romance film Uncertain Relationship Society.[2] However, as her grades in freshman year did not meet the requirements for a film major, she chose to pursue a financial journalism major instead. Nevertheless, her passion for films persisted and she even set her graduation thesis topic related to the development of creative media.[2] She had also attended lyrics writing classes taught by Chow Yiu-fai during her university years.[1] After graduating with a Bachelor of Communication, she joined Commercial Radio Hong Kong as a production assistant of ILUB's program.[2] In 2019, she began to host her own late night program.[4] However, she quitted the job in early 2020 to pursue a longed-for acting career.[2][4] Besides, Chung also started her lyricist career under the pen name "Chung Said" (鍾說) in late 2019 and wrote Jace Chan's "Born to Be Different", Janice Vidal's "Little Miss Janice" and Joey Hung's "Dirty".[5]
Chung landed her first onscreen role in 2019 ViuTV drama series Limited Education and received public attention.[2][6] Wong Chi-yeung, the director and writer of the series, offered her the role without casting as Chung left him with a deep impression while auditioning for the 2016 drama film Weeds on Fire.[6] In 2021, Chung was cast in lead role in the black comedy film Time, portraying an orphaned schoolgirl who forms an uncanny bonding with a retired assassin.[7] She received nominations for Best New Performer and Best Supporting Actress in the 40th Hong Kong Film Awards with her performance.[8] From 2021 to 2022, she also featured in lead roles in the biographical film Zero to Hero, sports film Life Must Go On and horror thriller Let It Ghost.[9]
In 2024, Chung was cast in the lead and titular role in the drama film The Lyricist Wannabe,[10] for which she was nominated for Best Leading Actress and Best Actress in the 60th Golden Horse Awards and 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards respectively.[11][12] She also starred in The Way We Talk,[13] which again earned her a nomination for Best Leading Actress in the 61st Golden Horse Awards, marking the second year in a row that Chung is up for the award in the Golden Horse Awards.[14] Chung eventually won the award, which is her first major cinematic award.[15]
