Canto-pop star and actress Gillian Chung Yan-tung, of the duo Twins, celebrated her 39th birthday on Tuesday. She’s come a long way since being picked to form one half of Hong Kong musical duo Twins. These are some of the milestones in her life and career.
Birth of Twins
Chung and Charlene Choi Tsoek-jin were brought together by Emperor Entertainment Group in May 2001 to front Canto-pop duo Twins, who enjoyed great popularity.
They have released close to a dozen albums and toured around the world, playing concerts in North America, Australia, China and Malaysia. Their latest concert tour, Twins LOL Live Around the World, finished in Macau in October 2018.
While many of the duo’s singles and albums topped the charts in Hong Kong, Chung and Choi have also been active in the film industry and won numerous commercial endorsements.
