Hong Kong actor and singer-songwriter Ronald Cheng Chung-kei has had a storied career, marked by both success and controversy. In the early 2000s, his reputation suffered due to scandals such as excessive drinking. However, Cheng managed to turn his life around, becoming a successful singer-songwriter and comedy actor.
Recently, at 52 years old, Cheng made headlines when he announced his departure. In a message, he stated, “Thank you for your concern. Due to personal emotional and health issues, I have decided to leave after the Kaohsiung concert to rest. Thank you for your continuous support.” This announcement led to the hashtag “Ronald Cheng retirement from showbiz” trending on Weibo, though Netizens observed he never said he’d retire, but simply said he was leaving to rest. Additionally, Cheng recently ended his collaboration with Running Team, citing issues with his longtime agent Ho Hing Sheung’s work ethics. It shocked those who thought Ronald was the owner of his own agency.
Ronald Cheng’s personal life has also long been in the public eye. He was secretly married to Charlene Choi of the popular duo Twins in 2006. The marriage, confirmed four years later during their divorce announcement, was a major media event. He went on to marry former TV host Sammie Yu Sze-man in 2011, with whom he has a daughter and a son. Before his recent announcement, his wife hinted at something big. Many of his fans expressed support and well wishes on his decision to go on hiatus.
