Gillian Chung is Dating Sweetheart Korean Movie Producer
The identity of Gillian Chung’s (鍾欣桐) mysterious new boyfriend is beginning to unravel. Aside from being wealthy and successful, he is also a sweetheart who is always there for Gillian when she needs him.
Spotted on a movie date with her tall and handsome man in late November, Gillian openly admitted that her new boyfriend is Korean, dubbed as “Mr. K” by the press earlier. Speculations quickly claimed that Gillian was dating Kush of Stony Skunk, but it turned out Kwon, a movie producer from Korea, is the real deal. Kwon is a good friend of Kush and Big Bang’s G-Dragon.
Gillian has nothing but praise for Kwon, who flew over to China to accompany her when she was lonely and hard at work. To protect her boy friend from any media harassment, Gillian has been doing her best stay low profile in the romance.
Most Eligible Bachelor in South Korea
Earlier there were rumors that Taiwanese singer, Kenji Wu (吳克羣) was dating Gillian, but Mr. Right turned out to be Korean movie producer, Kwon instead. It is reported that Kwon is well-known in Korea’s movie industry, and deals with many foreign studios. Having graduated from University of Seoul, the well-educated, well-built, and wealthy Kwon can be classified as one of the most eligible bachelors in South Korea.
From Shanghai to Beijing…
It has been about 6 months since Gillian and Kwon started dating, and the two has been madly in love. To spend more time with Gillian, Kwon took some time off and flew to Shanghai to accompany Gillian to attend the Hua Ting Award ceremony, where Gillian picked up an award for Best Actress for Ancient Costume award.
The next day, the two left for Beijing. At the airport, Gillian and Kwon tried not to walk together in order to avoid the media. When they arrived at the hotel, the two pretended not to know each other. Later in the evening, however, they were seen leaving for dinner and said to have a romantic time together.
When Mani Fok (霍汶希), Gillian’s manager, was approached by the media for more information on Kwon, Mani simply said she has seen Kwon before, but other than confirming he is a businessman and they had dinner together once, she has nothing more to offer. Mani refused to say whether Kwon was spending time with Gillian in Beijing, and declined to talk about Gillian’s personal matters.
White Christmas, in South Korea
When Gillian is not working in mainland China, Kwon would occasionally visit her in Hong Kong. Earlier this month, the two was caught watching a movie at Cyberport. When Gillian developed an acute gastroenteritis and landed in the hospital, Kwon was there with her and even cooked for her after she was discharged from the hospital. When Gillian was hurting from back pain, Kwon was around to gave her a soothing massage. Gillian said although the two is engaged in a long distance relationship, Kwon is always there when she needs him.
This Christmas, it is reported that Gillian gave up money-making opportunities and flew over to South Korea to spend the holidays with Kwon’s family. Kwon’s parents are reportedly extremely fond of Gillian.
Gillian had once said she wants to be married before 35 years old; it is starting to look good for her.

so how do they communicate? LOL
Body language.
hahaha, you mean kamayoga?
Gillian speaks fluent French, based on some of the pictures I have seen in the past.
Fluent French? Lol. Seriously though she is not even fluent in Cantonese and that is her mother-tongue. Her mando is terrible and her English is very limited. I met her and Charlene back in 2011 at the airport and she struggles comprehending a proper sentence. Hence, Charlene speaks English way better than Gillian.
talking in english
She has the experience gained from EC.
I have a hard time believing his parents are extremely fond of Gillian…
Well, Koreans seem pretty consistent about marrying WITHIN their own culture about 75-80% of the time.
And the mixed marriages are normally to Caucasians.
Even young Koreans can be quite clique-ish, when together. And not very inclusive to other cultures. The older generations can also be quite gossipy and highly competitive.
So yes, knowing how much more traditional their culture can be ….. a tad hard to believe his parents are so willing (*esp more so if their son is so eligible, just imagine the whole line up of Korean ajjumas wanting him for their pretty daughters) and so accepting of Gillian.
I was thinking more about her scandal… I don’t think Koreans are that much more insular in terms of marrying other East Asians than Chinese are, but that was just my impression.
actually the mixed marriages are not just “normally” to Caucasians, I see more Koreans pairing with other Asians than anything around here. Even John Cho of White Castle would rather marry a Japanese to be his wife. Koreans will date outsiders but they prefer Korean/Asian because of similar background cultures. This is from what I’ve seen relative to me.
Also we know nothing about their relationship so to base it off of our own perceptions, nomad or mine, would be wrong. i also notice the Chinese are highly critical of every little thing, if you say koreans are gossipy, what makes yourself, nomad, this site and the people here? no offense. this guys parents probably realize their son is different by going a path that is not the typical Korean archetypes of engineer, doctor, lawyer, etc. maybe he wont marry a typical girl and his parents know his taste/style is different. why do you have so much freetime to gossip negative thoughts to this poor girl’s developing relationship. What if the son has a spotty past himself or grew up in a divorced home, even ppl who had a bad past doesnt mean they don’t learn from it and can’t find happiness also. its possible that if their son likes her enough, its likely his parents might have come to accept her.
Who says that everything they said in this article is true?? However,IF it is true that his parents are fond of her, it may be because they don’t know about her past scandal. The old folks in my family don’t know about it either.. My mom often follows asian e news, but did not hear about it either…
Everything that nomad822 said is so true… I have met some Korean guys and girls(they were my students mostly) and they all said the same things that nomad has mentioned. They are even more traditional than Chinese are…
While nomad states some truths about koreans the younger generation seem more open to date other cultures.I dated korean women in the past and they had no problem dating a guy from hong kong. I also met some of their parents and they had no objections.There is also a difference between FOBS and ABK etc.
This is interesting. Because my impression of Korean culture is their family comes first so unless he is the only surviving family member of his clan, I do wonder how his mother or father or both feels about Gillian’s past scandal?
I doubt she will be accepted to his family. If he is so eligible his family probably would want someone same level. With Gillian colorful background doubted to see a marriage. Asked korean friend once she was saying exactly hat nomad822 said.
Bingo. Either his eligibility is being exaggerated or this is just some fling/attention-seeking by Gillian.
Yup, my Korean friends said that same things that you mentioned Ita…
I think media still don’t who this guy is so created a background for him. The only thing Mani and Gillian confirmed is that he is a businessman. Gillian also said she was working on Christmas and her boyfriend would be in Korea with his family. Either someone is lying to media or they have nothing better to do than makeup stories.
There’s a very high chance that his background is all made up. I read that her boyfriend is a Korean American businessman and that they communicate in English. So which is which?
Nothing will come out of it. Even if his parent’s are not opposed to them together, if he is as successful as they put him to be, the social pressure will be too much and they will eventually breakup. From the little I know about Korean culture, hireachy in society is very important and it’s unlikely she meets the bill.
She is a celebrity herself and pulls in money, unlike some women that dont want to work and just feed off their husband. If anything, she is also ontop of the “hierarchy” you speak of. she makes money from dramas, films, endorsements and commercials, i dont find her any less than him. some of you here are very highly judgmental, funny that you deemed their relationship doomed due to your own social bias and negativity while knowing nothing really of whats between them. if you go around judging everyone just from what you perceive of their culture, then you are already acting in prejudice yourself and erecting barriers from the start. what dont you ppl just judge on an individual level instead of being so annoyingly clannish in your opinions.
If you never end up finding happiness, its probably because you create all these scenarios inside your head even before it starts. a self-defeatist mentality will get you exactly that in the end. Ppl who are in love dont give a fly what others are gonna say about their relationship. When you’re an adult, you make your own decisions, most men realize early on that their parents will not be part of the equation because they will leave this world, that means your wife and children will accompany you for the other rest of your life.
Time will tell.
Anyway, your comments are judgmental as well.
Everyone here can express their point of views. That is the whole point. No one is asking you to accept or defend. If you don’t like it then don’t read.
I doubt if these celebs actually read this but so what if they do? You can’t just accept positive comments and ignore negative ones. Friends who just encourage you and standby you regardless of what you do are not friends. Those who also provide constructive critizism/feedback are friends becoz they are honest and not saying it just to please you.
Celebs openly says they read some comments about their performance in a movie/ drama so they work harder to not disappoint their fans.
That ‘scandal’ is in the pass but even if no one talks about it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen and it’s not on the back of people’s mind.
Gillian needs to find someone who will love her for who she is and not to get 2mins of fame… yes, he’s famous in his own circle but how many people know him before he starting dating Gillian? I just think she should be careful and not get burn like she did with edison.
Lol if he is as great as the media made him to be then why would he settle with Gillian, a woman with such a colorful background? There are far more beautiful Korean actresses with better background plus no cultural barriers than Gillian so it’s questionable if Kwon is really that great.
oh hush what century is this? Talking about scandal …you guys never made mistake? You guys talk so old fashioned ~ unless all these posts are by elderly.
Let it go =) we all deserve a chance and to be forgiven.
I wish her luck and hope she can really find her happiness.
not too sure abt that..
her scandal is way too scandalous..
will u accept a daughter in law whose p*ssy is seen by whole world?????
imagine hosting a wedding facing close relatives & friends..
unless they hv a quiet wedding
why not? That’s why there are suicidal out there because of harassment/gossipy. she was young and blame Edison Chan, he never learned from mistakes.
This is what century? In the old days, virginity was very important but not anymore.
If relatives/friends are that way than they are not true friends. Forget the ones treat you bad, cherish the ones that are good.
What about those softporn HK actresses like Veronica Yip, Amy YIp and Chingmy Yau who married well? They must have been accepted by their in laws.
Irene, yes it was scandalous. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t forgive her. I agree with azndoraemon on the statement about Edison Chen. He still flirts around with pretty girls and stuff. Every time something like this happens, all the blame goes to the girl and people like you will never forgive them. If everyone being you, she can never find happiness. What if it’s your scandal? Wouldn’t you want people to give you a second chance to have your own happiness too?
Were you one of those people who went out of your way to download those pictures?
Hiya — I agree. We all have made mistake, and not sure why people out there would still hold on to the past.
We all can move forward to life and not look back to history.
Its all about context isn’t it? You can probably accept a friend with such a scandal but to accept someone into your family is entirely different. Don’t forget that her future in laws are from the older generation and they have their own views as well.
Hope Gillian will find more happiness with her Korean bf. I think her bf still do not know her past scandal but whatever is it, hope their relationship will happy forever.
I highly doubt that her bf doesn’t know about her scandalous past. All he needs to do is just google her name and all will be revealed. I’m sure she must have told him.
Regards to veronica, amy yip & chingmy, although they starred in third cat, but at least the private parts are covered. Thus not as bad as compared hairy ones.
To me, selling your body for fame and money apart from survival is worse than someone who films herself having sex with her boyfriend that was supposed to be kept private.
@irene
So your saying Gillian the only woman who has hair on her private parts? From my understanding Asian women are known for being hairless. Beside, it not like she knew the world would see it.
Back on topic, I’m not sure if this news report is all true but if so great for her. Its really good to know everyone in Asia are not as close minded as people believe. And I know he knows of the scandal but he see as something in her past. If his intentions toward her are honest then good luck to them.
