Eliminated MHK Contestant, Cayley Ng, Auditions for Miss Asia Pageant
The 2019 Miss Asia Pageant held its first round of interview for Hong Kong delegates on September 20, 2019, in Causeway Bay. Among the contestants include Cayley Ng (吳玥彤), who had competed for the 2019 Miss Hong Kong Pageant, but failed to make it into the top ten.
The 24-year-old said it has always been her dream to audition for a beauty pageant, and she wants to complete her dream by participating in Miss Asia.
Another stand-out contestant is Joshna Wu (胡楚珊), currently studying neurology at the University of Toronto. She stood out among other contestants with her unique hairstyle, to which she explained, “My hairstylist spent three hours doing this hair for me. She was concerned that the hairstyle would look too high on my head, making it look old-fashion, but I am actually very happy with this.”
Having to face the public is a new challenge for Joshna. She shared, “I struggled with acne during my teenage years. When I was 14, my face was full of acne. Even birth control couldn’t save my skin. I hid in my house for four years. I was too afraid to see people. I guess you can consider myself a ‘poison girl’.”
The Miss Asia Pageant was started by ATV in 1985 as a rival to TVB’s popular Miss Hong Kong Pageant. Miss Asia has had its fair share of popular beauty queen turned actresses, including Veronica Yip (葉玉卿), Yvonne Yung (翁虹), Joey Meng (萬綺雯), Christine Ng (伍詠薇), Kristy Yeung (楊恭如), and Alice Chan (陳煒). The pageant ended abruptly when ATV lost its broadcasting license in 2016, but the pageant was brought back in 2018 for its streaming service.
Some contestants for 2019 Miss Asia also include the following:
Former MHK contestant Zaza Fan (范莎莎)
Vikki Lee (李婉晴), 21
Wan Chun-kan (温俊芹), 27
Angel Leung (梁尊詠), 28

what is miss asia, never heard of it
After seeing the above photos, I promise I will never complain about the quality of TVB’s Miss Hong Kong ever again….
It is good to have a dream but keep it realistic and achievable.
Wtf? These are the bottom of the barrel looking women. Gross hairstyles (Joshna wu), white ghost-like makeup ( viki Lee, April leung). Some look old and look like they are from the villages. Wow. Just wow.
@babycakes my thoughts exactly! Only the first 2 look good! The white face one looks emo lol you can pick better looking people off the street randomly!
@myxx major emo and RBF !!
Waaa..some of them do look pretty awful. lol haha…Joshna???? Ok
Jesus Chris! Hahahahahaha
Last year’s was better. I actually got to know a big chunk of last year’s contestants. I got the alias 卡蜜拉睇線護衛麟麟 because Anita Cheung caught me leaving a line (嘩！事業線啊) on her live stream last year. Long story short, they had a joint event with Camilla Lee’s cooking and I jokingly blabbed my mouth looking at Camilla’s cleavage.
I hear this year, ATV is giving away a condo to the next Miss Asia champ.
@tinlunlau didn’t miss Asia alreadh happened In August or this is miss Asia hk?
The poor cousin of MHK. Hv you watched the interview? Some look a lot worse than in the pics. Only a couple are passable decent.
Why did anyone name their daughter Adodo is beyond me. Or why did anyone name themselves Adodo. How do you pronounce this? Adudu? Or Adohdoh?
