Yoyo Mung and Ekin Cheng hold hands in Fukuoka

    27th October 2026 – (Fukuoka) Yoyo Mung, 52, and husband Ekin Cheng were caught on a Fukuoka pavement without make-up, fingers locked as they waited for the lights — a low-key flash of affection from one of Hong Kong entertainment’s longest-running power couples as they enter their thirteenth year of marriage.

    Netizens who “wild-caught” the pair on a Japanese street shared photographs of the couple in matching all-black casual wear. Cheng stood with one hand in his pocket and the other interlaced with his wife’s while they waited at a zebra crossing. Their stride matched; the hand-hold looked unforced. Passers-by, the posters said, were briefly dazzled by the quiet public display.

    Mung wore a loose black T-shirt with casual trousers, hair in a soft low ponytail, and went fully bare-faced. Her figure looked fuller and her chin a little rounder than the slim, cool screen goddess many still recall from her television years — a contrast fans have noted whenever recent candid shots circulate online.

    She has met talk of weight gain with unusual calm. In an earlier interview, she laughed that people must accept her as she is: “I am a mum’s image and a housewife — you have to accept I am a housewife.” Off camera, she said her private life is lazy and unfussy. She refuses aesthetic medicine meant to reverse age, citing the Taoist idea of following nature, and has stopped forcing the ultra-fit look of her thirties. Comfort, she suggested, now matters more than the old red-carpet silhouette.

    The couple registered their marriage in Tokyo on 28th January 2013, when Mung was 39, and have long been held up as a model of low-drama devotion in the industry. Thirteen years on they still surface together on Japanese streets rather than on staged dates — black outfits, no make-up, crosswalk waits included. Mung has also joked about once eating two lunchboxes in a single meal, a small aside that fits the same unvarnished picture.
