Miss Hong Kong 2014 Candidates Appear in Swimsuits
Miss Hong Kong 2014 contestants appeared in swimsuits for the first time at a beach promotion today. Although the swimsuits were relatively conservative, several candidates stood out with their curvaceous figures.
Contestant #4 Maggie Chung (鍾美琪) had the most outstanding measurements with a 35-25-36 figure. Contestants #8 Jamie Lee (李汶蔚) and #15 Veronica Shiu (邵珮詩) also stood out in their swimsuits.
Jamie denied that she will gain an advantage simply because of her curves. She stressed the importance of the complete package, and said that her best features are her cheerful personality and smile. She will be updating her blog to share her past experiences as a flight attendant.
Contestants’ Backgrounds Revealed
Although TVB hoped to keep the 16 candidates away from scrutiny before the semi-finals, information about the candidates leaked out. The press snapped photos of the applicants during the first-round interviews which were held in July. Some of the candidates’ photos from the Okinawa, Japan filming trip were also exposed.
Public interest in the candidates has been piqued, generating the usual gossip about their backgrounds. A source earlier claimed contestant #9 Erin Wong (王卓淇) to be a materialistic and greedy woman who lives off her boyfriend. She denied having a boyfriend at the moment. Born in Guangzhou, Erin wants to develop her career in Hong Kong since several family members have moved there.
Contestant #12 Janet Choi (蔡曉瑩) revealed that she resigned from her airline cabin service director position to fully concentrate on the competition. Law school student, #7 Katherine Ho (何艷娟) dreamed of joining the pageant since Li San San’s (李珊珊) crowning moment in 1996. Contestant #14 Fiona Fung (馮詠雩) admitted that it was her mother who encouraged her to compete in the race when she was still studying in England.
As the current hot favorite, #11 Soffie Ng (吳凱欣) said she never compares herself to others. When asked if she has any secret weapons that will benefit her in the pageant, Soffie stated, “I was a flight attendant for three years, so I have lots of life experience and am able to adjust to new situations quickly!”
Contestant #12 Janet Choi (蔡曉瑩) caught the media’s attention with her masters degree in university. Janet revealed that she already has a boyfriend, and he is highly supportive of her decision to participate in the pageant.
A source spilled that contestant #13 Crystal Wong (黃燕如) participated in Mainland Chinese dating shows two years ago. She appeared in both One in a Hundred <百里挑一> and Who Can Choose One in a Hundred <誰能百里挑一>. Crystal admitted to the news and explained, “I was 22 back then and wanted to make new friends to see if I can find a boyfriend. After I went onstage, I realized it wasn’t how I preferred to communicate. We had different values.” Crystal added she currently does not have a boyfriend, and believes dating is all about having the right feel.

#9 Erin Wong looks a lot like Fala Chen. I like #1 Jan Tse.
I like #1 Jan Tse too
No she does not look like Fala Chen. Fala is a lot prettier. #12 Janet Choi is the prettiest one. I pick her to win. If she lose is all planed.
Hahaha, pageant does not rely on looks alone la. need brain too and personality
If one is ugly but smart and strategies. Not going to
win. Looks always and #12 Janet Choi got the looks.
#11 is much prettier..just because #12 don’t win,you comment it’s all planned..what an unfair statement
Agree. Erin Wong does not look like Fala Chen. Fala is a lot prettier.
Yes… I like #1 Jan too…
Janet Choi looks like TVB material…idk.
does that mean you can tell just by the photo that she is a terrible actress?
# 13 comment LOL omy god I cant believe she said that meeting new ppl is not a bad thing but she said I wanted a boyfreind I just ROFL….what a speech she gave
adding one more thing I like # 11 & 12 they look natural
i also like 11 and 12. they have really warm smiles. features are balanced and comfortable looking
this year’s contestant isn’t as bad imo
they all look bad to me..
liking Soffie and Janet 🙂
Same here. I think 11 12 look the best. I like Janet choi a little bit more though XP
Maggie Cheung and Janet Choi are my favorites!
Totally agree’!
Me too. Maggie’s body rocks and Janet has such lovely smile and beautiful face. Hope they get top 3 position.
None of the ladies this year catches anyone’s eyes and they are not as pretty either. Nothing unique that stands out.
wow. this year’s contestants are all so… average.
so picky.
I like Sophie she looks like Gloria tang 2012mcv &2013mic and she kinda look like my sis
Honestly this year is a lot better than the last. 2013 was just awful. These girls at least are on the charming side.
Last year there was lots of pork chop. You could already know who was winning but I thought it would be Tammy rather than grace
Rooting for Janet and Maggie 🙂
this year, the candidates look pretty and easy to the eye. alot better than the last few years. hope they will create the buzz
I’m a little surprised by the comments here. The quality of the girls is at it’s best since 2005! No stunning face like Grace last year but overall, the whole batch looks good. It’s looks quite competitive with a few standouts and many as alternatives.
Unfortunately I can’t watch the final live this year but can’t wait to see the show afterwards.
I also want to point out, there are no evident winners looking at these photos so far (no girl that I say wow to) but this is also a good sign. It means that the batch is competitive and many cancel each other so to speak. No weird looking contestants from previous years. 2009 and 2010’s batch were one of the lowest quality……. Especially 2009 lol.
one of them was first runner up in a similar pageant.
I think #11 Sofiee Ng looks a bit like Kelly Chen. I agree that this year contestants are mostly not bad looking, but agree with Andrew that I don’t see an evident winner just yet. Soon maybe there would be one or two outstanding one(s). 😉
None of them is my choice
Number 11 looks like Gloria Tang.
I thought so too!
I thought so too
It’s only in their facial expression. Their features are worlds apart!
yeah that is what i think that she looks a bit like Gloria Tang!!!!
Well, we can’t all we winners. There is no Grace Chan in this competition. Back to a lull this year.
I think #12 andd #14 are pretty
#11 Sofiee Ng (吳凱欣) is hot!
# 11 is not hot. What so good about #11? Look her eyes. Its a little cross eyed. #12 Janet Choi will win! #1
First runner up. Second place.
Based on these pictures, I think Janet Choi has a good chance.
I like #3! She has her own unique look
She looks so korean! She looks natural
I like her too! From her name, her parents are probably ethnic Chinese from Vietnam.
# 1 take runner up. But #12 Janet Choi 1 place all the way!!
Makes no sense to me how #11 is the favorite. I guess the perception of beauty just differs around the globe. My picks are #3 Linna, #12 Janet and #15 Veronica.
@ Ray true but looks comes first. Thats why its called miss hk (Beauty) Pageant.
Rooting for the Canadian girls! #3, #8,#15!
I like #1, #11, #12, #15! 🙂
Those we’re my picks too! Lol we think a like.
#15 all the way! 😀
so far, soffie gave me the best impression.
Janet choi is the prettiest but she looks average compared to actresses and former miss hong kongs. For some reason, I have a feeling that jan tse would be good in movies and dramas. She has that charisma and if given chances, her face shape can pull off many characters.
wow love their swim suits they look awesome!!! the most favourite person that i really like the most is #11 Sofiee ng and #12.Janet choi!!!! 🙂 but sofiee looks a bit like Gloria tang that is what i think!!!!
UMM….i mostly like is #11 #12!!!
#11 and #12 looks the best. The rest are somewhat not appealing
1 11 12 will have chance
#1 and #11 I think for me… would like to see some different shots of #11..
Based on the photos, I like contestants no 11 & 12.
Unless #12 fails terribly in Q&A section, she’ll get to place in Top 3.
#11 Sofiee Ng looks pretty!
1,11,& 12 top three
11, 12, 1
#4, #7 & #11
#1, #11 and #12 have the best shots.
11 and 12.
isn’t 15 from Canada?
I find no. 11 looks like Carat Cheung 2012 winner.
We don’t need another gloria tang look alike.besides, Sophie has weird eyes. No offense
Who do u guys think will make it to the final 10?
