Yoyo Mung (蒙嘉慧) and Ekin Cheng (鄭伊健) have already been dating for 6 years. Since Yoyo’s parents were divorced, Yoyo has always been skeptical about marriage. However, she seemed content with her current relationship with Ekin. When asked about her love life, she was filled with happiness! After finding the right person, Yoyo felt ready to get married at any time.
Ekin is the One
Prior to meeting Ekin, Yoyo thought she knew what she was looking for in her other half. However upon meeting Ekin, she gained a different perspective. Thirty-nine-year-old Yoyo said, “To find a compatible person for yourself, it is all about fate. Since I’ve met Ekin, my criteria for my mate has changed. Since I was young, I have been independent and knew how to care for others. I thought I needed a man that can take care of others better. But in actuality, I don’t need someone to take care of me. I need someone to know how to play and relax with me. And Ekin is that person.”
Ekin Takes Care of Yoyo
To the public, 44-year-old Ekin has always been seen as a “big kid,” due to his playfulness. Did he truly know how to take care of his love, Yoyo? She defended him, “He knows how to take care of me while we are going out together. For example, he knows that I’m not a good swimmer. When we go swimming together, he would be nervous for me and have everything prepared, including a lifejacket. He would not enjoy himself as he would be too busy ensuring my safety and staying by my side. I feel that he understands my needs. This trait and the feeling he gives me are better than any materialistic goods one can buy!”
Simple Wedding Wish
Although the couple does not have concrete plans to get married, Yoyo felt that it was most important to find the right person and she would be ready to get married at any time. Compared to the sensible Yoyo, Ekin’s wished to host their wedding in outer space. If the couple were to have a joint wedding ceremony with other couples in outer-space, the plan can be executed in two years but the cost would be $200,000 USD per person! Yoyo rejected Ekin’s outlandish idea. She preferred to have the wedding at home, which is the most comfortable place to her! Yoyo said, “My wish is to have a simple wedding without a wedding dress, heavy makeup, nor complicated customs. My priority is comfort and simplicity!”
During the interview, Yoyo was full of compliments for her boyfriend, Ekin. She is a practical person and does not require the social norm of marriage to keep her happy. Her belief is that marriage is an important life decision, and not simply holidng a lavish reception nor obtaining a marriage certificate. Her wish is to find her true love to grow old with!

Don’t do it Yoyo, Chan Ho Nam’s girlfriends never get a happy ending.
You did see what happened to Smartie, right?
T_T
LOL!
I don’t see them getting married any time soon. They seem content with the status quo and don’t need marriage to show their commitment and love for one another.
Agreed.
Finding a life partner is better than a husband. Today he may be your husband but tomorrow another.
The same can apply to a “lifetime” partner. He can be your partner today and your enemy the next day.
Yoyo is 39?? darn! she’s pretty good for 39!
yes she looks good
i agree.. marrdge is overrated.. trust believe responsble love is the most important in relationship.. if u hve tht nthng else matters
Are you saying that you cannot have trust and responsible love in a marriage?
Marriage is not overrated, it’s misunderstood. Too many people make marriage into a big production (just look at the weddings). Too many people think “now my life will change” – it’s built up to be a “life changing event”
it shouldn’t be. Marriage is a formality. it is something that is done for legal reasons and for traditional reasons. It is not required (really) to have a good relationship. I have seen friends go through “post marriage depression” where for months they plan and plan and anticipate and then the “big day” comes… but then when it is over, they are like “so… now what?”
Treat it like another day in your life and realize that it shouldnt and doesn’t really change anything.
TVBFanatic,
“Treat it like another day in your life and realize that it shouldnt and doesn’t really change anything.”
You offer sound advice. Women especially have been dreaming about getting married and what their weddings will look like since little girls. However, given how popular media glorifies romantic love, both men and women are led to believe that their happiness depends on finding the “perfect one” and that their wedding should be as perfect as possible.
Many women spend close to one year planning their weddings and it is a daily obsession for that time frame.
She looks good! Can’t believe she’s 39 already! As for them.. it’s Ok if they never get marry as long as they have an understanding. It’s better then getting marry and then getting a divorce afterward.
Ekin you need an offspring! I use to be such a huge fan of his!!!!
I think it is so sad that many are looking down on marriage. It is true that you can get divorced after getting married, however, you can break up even more easily if you are just dating/ seeing each other because there is nothing binding you.
I always have a feeling that it was Ekin who didn’t want to wed Yoyo and Yoyo has no option but to forcefully accepted her faith and lied to the reporters that she deosn’t mind if she didn’t get married in her life too but I doubt that is what she wants! Women always said something contradict to they think.
Never had that impression. I always thought Yoyo herself doesn’t believe in marriage and if she does, she doesn’t want children.
