Apple Hong (born 31 October 1978)[2][3] is a Malaysian-born Singaporean actress, host, businesswoman and singer. She was a full-time Mediacorp artiste from 1999 to 2011 but continues to film on an ad-hoc basis.

Early life

Hong was born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. She received her education in Johor Bahru.[4]

Career

Hong was first runner-up in the Malaysian edition of Star Search 1999 and moved to Singapore after being offered a contract by TCS (now MediaCorp). She was then known as the 'Malaysian Shu Qi' due to her slight resemblance to the Hong Kong actress. Several years later she moved to SPH MediaWorks but was transferred back to MediaCorp when both companies merged in 2005. She made her cinema debut in Jack Neo's 2005 film One More Chance, starring as Mark Lee's on-screen wife.[5] Besides acting, Hong was also a prominent face on magazine covers, print ads and television commercials in both Singapore and Malaysia.

Hong released her debut extended play in Singapore and Malaysia which consisted of 8-tracks with various musical genres including acoustic easy-listening, piano-pop tunes and also fusion of Chinese and Irish-styled songs.

Hong left the entertainment industry in October 2011 as she opted not to renew her full-time contract.[6] While she continued filming with MediaCorp on a per-project basis, she stated she had wanted to spend time managing the Kuala Lumpur branch of Xiao Bar Wang (owned by former fellow MediaCorp actor Jeff Wang)[7] and planned to further her showbiz career in China.[8]

Personal life

Hong married a Singaporean businessman on 10 October 2017.[9] Having been a Singapore permanent resident for several years, Hong took up Singapore citizenship on 18 December 2022.[10][4]

In August 2023, Hong revealed that her father died of Parkinson's disease, at the age of 76, on 11 August.[11]
