Venus Wong Joins Voice Entertainment
Known primarily for her acting works in film and television, Venus Wong (王敏奕) is also passionate about music and has released several singles. Deciding to pursue her music dreams further, Venus has signed with TVB’s sister company Voice Entertainment to prepare her first album.
Venus was introduced to this opportunity because her manager and Voice Entertainment’s CEO Herman Ho (何哲圖) are familiar with each other. Seeing that Venus is passionate about singing, Herman invited her to the studio for a vocal test and eventually offered a music contract. Shocked by the opportunity, Venus originally thought that Herman was joking.
Though they were not at the press event, Venus’ husband Derek Tsang (曾國祥) and father-in-law Eric Tsang (曾志偉) fully support her interests and career goals. However, when asked to comment on the rumored rift between Eric and Herman’s wife TVB executive Sandy Yue (余詠珊), Venus stated that she is not aware of this and will continue to focus on her work instead.
As Voice Entertainment’s artistes receive high exposure levels in TVB programs and often star in their dramas, some believe Venus’ new music contract may increase her chances for awards and eventual advance towards the station’s coveted Best Actress title. Venus clarified that she did not join Voice Entertainment in hopes of increasing her chances for Best Actress–she only wants to kickstart her music career and release more songs.
When it was pointed out that her signing ceremony was not as grand as labelmate JW (also known as Joey Wong 王灝兒), who signed with Voice Entertainment in August, Venus remained poised and indicated that it was hard to invite guests due to rise of local COVID-19 infections recently.

funny how she would compare her signing ceremony to JW whose an established singer and her as a newcomer who nobody outside of her company knows if she can sing or not.
she’s lucky that she’s got eric tsang’s backing b/c i really don’t recall any of her work other than M club from ions ago.
@m0m0 The article says, “it was pointed out that her signing ceremony was not as grand as JW.” Venus didnt compare; the reporters mentioned. Also, Venus was in the 1st season of Flying Tiger.
@m0m0 She was also in #MeToo a drama filmed by ViuTV. She’s also finished filming a new TVB production called “Hong Kong Love Story”
This is surprising news for me I didn’t know she can sing? Guess we can find out. Guess this means more females to sing the opening and ending songs in dramas maybe?
I personally like her acting so if she can master singing too she’s a jack of all trades of being an artist
