Linda Chung Denies Dating Jason Chan
Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣) and Jason Chan (陳智燊) got along well while leading romantic series Missing You <幸福摩天輪>. After Linda’s alleged breakup with martial arts star, Philip Ng (伍允龍), Linda is rumored to have been secretly dating Jason for the last six months. Jason was even spotted giving Linda a ride home.
Linda is from Canada while Jason was born in England. Since both of them were raised in a westernized culture, the pair had a lot in common and can converse freely in English. Jason graduated from the University of London where he holds a master’s degree in economics and knows five different languages, including Latin and French.
Known as one of TVB’s young bachelors, Jason has been rumored to be dating former Miss Chinese International winner, Sarah Song (宋熙年), however both have clarified many times that they are only friends. Due to Jason’s good background and education, he is especially popular among the ladies. His other alleged girlfriends include Sire Ma (馬賽), Aimee Chan (陳茵媺), Macy Chan (陳美詩), Becky Lee (李璧琦), as well as Lily Ho (何傲兒).
Jason Admires Linda
When asked about his latest rumored girlfriend, Linda, Jason said that he thinks Linda is a very attentive person who notices small details. Linda still has recollection of the time they shared a small 2-minute interaction in the past before they filmed Missing You. Jason jokingly said that it was fate and he was touched that she still remembered the exchange after such a long time.
Linda Denies Rumors
At a promotional event yesterday, Linda was not embarrassed when speaking about her rumors with Jason. Linda explained that it was six months ago when she had received a lift home from Jason, after attending a promotion for Missing You together. Linda explained that Jason was not the only colleague who has dropped her off at home, as she often carpools with other artists. Linda regards Jason as a good friend.
Asked if she had broken up with Phillip Ng, Linda said, “I have been happy all along.” Is their relationship okay? “As to whether it’s okay, I will not respond to this question. Anyway, there’s no need for everyone to worry about me.”
Linda will soon be releasing a pictorial, in which oddities about her will be revealed in the publication. For her August concert in Hong Kong, Linda intends to play the music accompaniment while singing on stage.

35 is not really what I would call a young bachelor…
I think they are well-matched for each other as a couple. Both of them are down-to-earth artistes from the western countries, and both of them speak good English. They have very similar cultures.
They have a really good online chemistry (:
But I can’t wait til she’s in vancouver for that Fairchild thing. 🙂
I think Linda Chung, Sonjia Kwok and Kenneth Ma all love going to perform for Fairchild in Canada. These people spent quite a few years living in Vancouver (especially Linda), and they can easily meet up with their old friends again. Ruco Chan went to Vancouver once two years ago as a guest performer at Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant Show.
Yes!!! I’m freaking excited to see Linda! Holly! Can finally meet her!
Thanks for the info, sandcherry!! 🙂
And omg philip! I don’t think I can go since I live in Burnaby but hopefully, i can get a ticket to go to that fairchild thing (:
Linda’s bf is Johnson. Hahaha that was a good prank.
It’s better to find a guy that speak English, instead a FOB. It’s hard to communicate in Chinese.
Philip Ng speaks good English too. He was raised in Chicago, USA
He also has Master’s degree like Jason, from University of Illinois
her taste? 😉 if she was really attracted to both of them, then it’s evident that she likes intelligent guys
please date as we the viewers will be very happy to see this new couple dating and then overshadow raymond-karena couple news…linda and jason dating news will be more encourage due to their good images personality
>and knows five different languages, including Latin and French.
I hate it when the media do this. Learning it for a semester doesn’t mean you *know* it. If you asked him to hold a conversation in French right now, he probably can’t.
How do you know?
Trust me on this. If he could speak French then he’d branch off into French stuff.
Like Takeshi Kaneshiro. He can speak Cantonese, Mandarin, Hokkien, English and Japanese. He’s done Japanese movies like “The Returner”, “K-20” and “Sleepless Night” which was a Chinese-Japanese co-production. Famous for HK films like “Chungking Express”. Now he’s ventured off to Chinese productions like “Red Cliff 1&2” and “Wu Xia”.
Choi Si-Won, you know, member of some smalltime Korean idol group…what was it….Super Senior? (Haha)
He presented a HKFAA award in Mandarin a month ago.
It’s not easy for Asians to venture out in western entertainment business. Hollywood probably has more opportunities compare to France. Takeshi Kaneshiro’s Chinese Japanese movie production was still Asian production. I don’t think he has much opportunity if he wants to try out English movies with his English skill. Even if Jason Chan speaks super excellent French, I don’t think he can use it much in Hongkong, leave alone France.
He did indy film “Too tired to die”.
Hmm, that’s it? Any other English movies?
No I don’t think so, but he often gives interviews in English when he promotes his movies.
Which is another good utilization of the languages you know.

I know what you mean dd. When someone claims to “know” a language but then can’t even carry on a conversation, that is really sad. I took French for 5 years and can’t speak it that well since I never use it. You lose what you don’t use or don’t keep up with it somehow. Learning a language for a semester usually means you know just a few words or phrases or at times don’t know it at all. It just depends on the individual…
I’ve learnt Japanese for 4, and every time I speak to my Japanese friends I realize how much I still don’t know.
Ah, the HK hype machine.
They should also mention Egyptian Hierogliphics and Ancient Hebrews while they are at it. LOL!
What I want to know is with all these alleged linguistic skills, how is his canto and mandarin?
Fun Fact:
Jason Chan once saved a busload of African orphans by guiding them in Swahili on how to defuse the bomb that was onboard.
Why can’t Linda date Steven Ma?!
He has a girlfriend.
He does have a girlfriend???? I always like Steven Ma with Linda Chung but Jason is very handsome in which they will get along more.
He got back together with his old girlfriend..
I was talking about how Steven Ma has a girlfriend..
Steven Ma!?!? THey are more like brothers and sisters than anything else lol
I always thought he kinda looked like “pre-surgery and weight loss” Raymond Lam.
why no one stop and think, that this is actually tvb’s doing to promote jason using linda’s popularity as hk’s beloved jade girl BB 🙂 when an artiste can’t act, make the publish to like him using his face or cuteness or adorability or even the british accent that many girls love.
Wow, where was I- I thought Linda was still dating Philip…so she really has moved onto Johnson Lee now hahaha! xD
I think Jason and lily are pretty cute
*sigh* I feel so sorry for Linda.
Yet another rumour with another guy… trying to push his popularity up a little….
Still, I quite liked the Missing You pairing despite his rigid acting… unfortunately, neither of them seem to be the aggressor (both being passive)…. need more ignition!
This jade girl thing is nauseating. In a couple of years, the media will bump her from jade girl to ‘sing lui’. If Jason is as smart as this article says he is, then he’ll steer clear of pure Linda. He might discover another side of her that is less than pure and have his fantasy smashed to pieces.
Latin in a “dead” language where you learn Latin for derivatives in the Romance Languages especially if you are majoring in the sciences or maybe bible studies.
Agree. However, in the US, many schools still offer Latin, and students are required to take at least one foreign language. Spanish classes are the first to be filled up. Students are forced to take other foreign languages if Spanish are not available.
Don’t think Jason was raised in the UK saw a video of him speaking in English and he doesn’t sound like a British, his Chinese accent was quite strong….
Not everyone in British have an accent!
Jason has very strong British accent. It was probably was not Jason Chan that you were watching.

Just saying he doesn’t sound like a native British speaker as opposed to people like MC Jin or Vaness Wu or Daniel Wu who sound really like native Americans.
saw that utube video. Maybe it’s me, but I still think he sounds British. Your English must be very British since you could notice his does not sound so native
He sounds English to me… And I’m English. I think he’s just trying too hard and the narration comes off a little stiff/unnatural.
Can people stop calling bob. It is so annoying.
wow linda got a makeup mask on her face. should paint her neck as well. looks creepy.
