Kym Ng

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kym Ng (simplified Chinese: 鐘琴; pinyin: Zhōng Qín) is a Singaporean actress with MediaCorp TV. She began with a singing career, but switched to hosting later and joined the then Singapore Broadcasting Corporation in Year 1995. She is often on the Chinese language channels (MediaCorp TV Channel 8 and MediaCorp TV Channel U) and is famous for her direct connection with the audience and her bubbly nature. In 2001, she left MediaCorp and joined the then SPH MediaWorks. But after 4 years, SPH MediaWorks merged with MediaCorp. As such, Kym went back to MediaCorp in 2005 till now.

She often stars in "food reviews" and variety shows. She is also known as the Hosting Queen (综艺阿姐) of MediaCorp. Besides hosting, Kym also stars in dramas and movies with Taiwanese boy band 5566. She has hosted more than 150 variety shows to date since the start of her career and has won numerous awards.

In 2005, Kym Ng was approached by director Wee Li Lin to star in the latter's film, Gone Shopping. Kym's performance was stated by the Straits Times as "(Kym) Ng is a revelation here. Her Clara, who could have been a self-indulgent bore of a character, is beguilingly shy, naively yearning and sweetly forlorn."

The film took two years to complete. (June 2005 to July 2007) Kym was quoted on U-weekly magazine that she was mentally prepared that the film would not follow through. The principal shoot of the film commenced in December 2006 through to March 2007.
