Rui En
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rui En (Chinese: 芮恩, Pinyin: Ruì'ēn; Full name: Lu Rui En, 卢瑞恩, born January 29, 1981) is a singer-actress based in Singapore.
Rui En was talent-spotted while doing a SingTel advertisement, as "the running girl". She was then offered a general management contract by Artiste Networks, a section of Hype Records, which is headed by singer/songwriter Ken Lim and is known for retaining only the best artistes with the most potential on its tenure.
She has an increasing pool of supporters in Singapore. Rui Bu Ke Dang (芮不可挡) is one of them. The name was developed from the Chinese idiom 锐不可挡, which has the same hanyu pinyin as the fan group's name. In this context, the group's name is taken to mean 'Rui En cannot be stopped'.
