2013 Miss Hong Kong: Contestants’ Profiles Revealed
The contestants of the 2013 Miss Hong Kong Pageant have returned to Hong Kong, after flying to worldwide scenic locations for their outdoor photography shoots last month.
Traveling to Paris, Seoul, Moscow, Beijing, Athens, Taipei, Bangkok and Chaozhou, the 20 beauties also filmed individual video clips, which they hope will draw viewer votes to help secure the crown. Last year’s competition set a precedent in adopting a reality-TV based approach, allowing Hong Kong residents to vote for the winners, which the 2013 Miss Hong Kong pageant will continue to follow.
The contestants are currently undergoing extensive training for competition night, which will take place on Sunday, August 25, 2013. Meanwhile, TVB released new photo stills and profile information of the contestants this week.

Wow some of them weigh less than 100 LBS and they are 5.4 ft…….too thin @_@
Yeah BUT at least plenty of chest.. i like it very muchh
photoshop and pushup bras.
agree with lily, they’re abnormally perky and the curve lines aren’t normal.
i can see its the bra and it looks so obvious. I saw a few contestants who looked pretty
i know right? 87lbs?? that’s so unhealthy….
look at their arms…
even if their chests are big, it looks so unnatural on their body.
Even if they look naturally proportionate, 87lbs?! I just googled that into kgs and my mouth fell wide open. That’s 39KGS…considering their height, that’s seriously underweight. I do understand that some girls’ may naturally be that slim hence have difficulty maintaining or gaining to a healthy weight, but I wouldnt be quite sure if they’d be sending a positive message to younger audiences or any everyone audience in general if they are chosen and expected to be role models. just a thought.
I was going to comment on that. They look really stick-thin.
The thinner they are, the more fake their boobs look. I would wager money on half of them having work done or some sort of padding. Totally unnatural and s**** looking imo.
Since when has beauty=bust size?
I thought it was based on skills, personality, and beauty all together?
I hope a girl with a smaller chest wins, it would be such a burn on the others and teach younger girls that it’s not the size that matters, it’s what’s inside you that makes you beautiful.
#7 FTW!!! Kinda looks like Myolie
Moon, Susan and Grace is prettier out of all of them.
Agree with Grace!
Age: 23 years old. Height: 5’4.75″ Weight: 106.6 lbs
Masters degree graduate???? wow, smarter than i am hahahah LOL….
Having a masters does not necessarily make you a smarter person. I know a few master graduates and I can assure you they are no smarter than some if my friends without a degree!
I know but i was surprised at her age. Since thats kind of young for a masters no?
I know a PHD dude n he’s still dumper than S… no kidding ahhaha LOL…
yup. some of my friends who r high school level are even smarter than my friends in graduate school. u cant judge intelligence by their degree. u have to base it on experience and the way they think morally.
Agree-whether they are still a graduate student, finished a bachelor degree or a Masters, if they stand up there on stage and perform poorly, a Master’s degree or any higher education wouldnt save them the spot in winning. Besides looks and education, they should be able to present themselves in front of the media and the public and handle being put in the spotlight. Intelligence does not come from education alone.
my picks: if i have the names correct hhaha
#1 Kendy Cheng
#15 Sisley Choi (蔡思貝)
#17 Grace Chan (陳凱琳)
Those are my picks too!! Lol
#9 Viriginia Lau (劉溫馨) ? looks like one of those NOT famous TVB cameo star, don’t know her name but her face looks a bit like her.
angel chiang?
Angel wishes she looked like virginia…
Angela tong
from the picture above i think michelle liem and tammy ou yang i are the hotest two candidate.
Yikes. Some of these girls are waaay too boney and photoshopped.
#3 looks like Eliza sum. Eliza is prettier. Why do they look so old? Some looks 30something. Too much bad makeup? Or bad photoshop?
Lol, I was gonna say #3 reminded me of Shirley Yeung.
I thought the same that #3 looks like Eliza.
me like acca and sisley
sisley is really pretty once she put on some make up! Peggy tsui has a sweet face, i think she look like leila tong around the eyes?
I think TVB needs to hire better touchup artists. Susan, Grace and Sisley look okay here. But some of these photos aren’t very flattering.
5’4″ and 87 pounds? Borderline anorexic imho…
TVBFanatic,
I was scared by Grace Chan’s stats as well. She looks so skinny in the photo above; wonder how she will appear in her swimsuit.
My favorite is still Virginia Lau. Seems that it’s Virginia and not Virginir after all.
#17’s photo from Paris is very nice, not too skinny at all! She has such a natural smile! http://b.tvb.com/misshk/2013/07/17/%E3%80%8A2013%E9%A6%99%E6%B8%AF%E5%B0%8F%E5%A7%90%E7%AB%B6%E9%81%B8%E3%80%8B-%E5%B7%B4%E9%BB%8E%E5%A4%96%E6%99%AF%E8%8A%B3%E8%B8%AA/15-2-2-2-2/
I like Virginia too. Her face is pleasant and likable.
I liked her too.However after watching today’s ep of Miss HK Around World…Woahhh she has a huge accent >.< (might not be a big deal cus Rebecca Zhu had a slight accent but she still won MHK in 2011) Honestly.. i can't really judge them just by watching those clips but the other contestants are much prettier and has a much bubbly/friendly (real) attitude? Like they always say..you can't judge a book by its cover. Not being bias here. Alrighty
&&&& so far im liking Kendy, Acca and Moon the most. They’re really natural…as in the way they speak/act. Add oil!!!
By the way, last year’s contestants wore these white tank tops already and it’s the same look again this year. Is TVB lacking a bit creativity?
The look is too much “men’s underwear”, especially with the unflattering grayish-blue tones found in the background and skin color.
I didn’t find many of the pictures above to be flattering at all. I’ve been browsing the TVB “fansbook” site looking at the photos the women have been posting on themselves and many of them are far better than these “professional” photos.
As an example, Moon (#6) posted a picture from a photo booth in which she doesn’t even really resemble the photo in this article at all. She’s much prettier in the photo booth photos she took herself!
So they went from white tees from last year to white tanks this year, but I prefer the tees more. The 2 girls under 90lbs, so unhealthy it doesn’t look good! I think the girls last year were overall prettier.
what happened to karen lam? wasnt she a favorite in the start?
They edited #17 ‘s picture way too much!
Susan Tse seems to be the most established grounded, and unique. The other contestants have more or less the same aspirations.
Oh dear. some are quite ugly even after photoshopped. (heads dip for actually saying something so rude.)
moon lau looks fresh, may look good in ancient chinese costumes, btw, it’s not really miss hongkong, rite? girls targeting more for miss tvb..
A lot of their teeth look weird …
HOW IN THE WORLD DO SOME OF THEM WEIGH 87 POUNDS oh my god
My pick is Virginia Lau ; Vicky Chan, Grace Chan, Michelle Liem and Ashley Chu hope they made it to the final.
Grace Chan has pretty face but her body way too skinny as for Tammy ou in my list too.
Happy that Vicky gets an award.
My pick is no. 13 Tammy Au-Yeung , i reckons she the prettiest one out of all the girls,
A lot of people saying grace chan is pretty which i don’t think so because she does hasa really big cheekbone when she smile, way too skinny & she looks kinda old to me.
as for Viriginia Lau i dont think she that pretty either!
Moon is the eye catcher she stands out from the crowd, and Susan resembles Tia Li from my point of view.
karen leung and sisley choi is the best looking after photoshoped.
Some photoshop too much, barely recognize the contestants from their interview pics.
The age gap among the contestants is so wide this year from 19 to 27 years. :O Anyways, I like Kendy Cheung, Moon Lau, Sisley, Grace, and Vicky based on the videos on the tvb site. You can’t really base it all on pics alone I guess.
#1 Kendy Cheung is beautiful. She looks similar to Sire Ma.
Actually looking at more candid shots, #17 Grace Chan is more stunning
Moon Lau is cute! 🙂 She gives off the Niki Chow vibe
Yes, #4 Moon – I like her looks out of all those here. She looks sweet without the wind-blown hair effect 🙂
#1 has my vote. I think this year is quite highly competitive in terms of appearance. Wish them all the best for the finals. Hopefully most has brains as well as their looks.
ugh… from these photos, I cant choose any of them.. they arent good looking at all from what I see.
@meme, yes. you’re right;
Go to the website and look at the photos the women have posted of themselves. Better than these touched up TVB promo shots.
Saw #17 in other photos, looks very well proportioned and healthy, this picture just has too much photoshop. My friends and I still support her!
After looking at the contestants, 75% seem to have gone to the same reconstructive surgeon to do their jaw/chin. They seem to have the same shape. Some of them looked so unnatural bordering on fake!
Wow, haha back then most of the contestants were around 18-20. Now it’s 19-27…I guess nowadays women just want to establish their career first before entering.
A lot of these girls are seriously underweight o_o omg
is it me or does sisley look a lot like elaine yiu??
Didn’t know Baraka from MK (nr.2) is joining this ‘tournament’.
#19 looks like Suki Tsui aka Mrs Kenny Wee. What happened to the last girl who (almost) everyone criticized on this forum during round 1? http://www.jaynestars.com/news/miss-hong-kong-pageant-2013-first-round-interviews/? Is she one of the final 20?
Kinda looks like number 4. I was wondering the same thing!
Based on the above photos, these are my top 5s:
1) #9 Viriginia Lau (劉溫馨) – very pretty and photogenic overall
2) #15 Sisley Choi (蔡思貝) – pretty but a bit too slim
3) #6 Moon Lau (劉佩玥) – pretty
4) #16 Peggy Tsui (徐韶蓓) – pretty
5) #8 Susan Tse (謝海珊) – pretty good
i think #9 is going to win and the rest of the are probably jaynestars readers
#9 is pretty ok but she has a really thick accent…don’t think she gonna win
A lot of these girls are too short for beauty pageants
Still think #17 is the best looking.. and I don’t get those that put down “hope to become a successful person and artist” that is just so blah!!! I like the one who put down she want to advocate woman rights!
Rooting for 1, 7, 15 and 17 based entirely on their looks
#7 and #5 are pretty the rest are faces you can find anywhere…nothing special. I am 5’3 too but at my skinnest was 90lbs and I starved myself! At 87lbs she must have been starving herself hard, eating only apples and bananas to get by. I too think 87lbs is unhealthy…I like tone skinny instead of skinny to the bone.
87.5 lb. is really too thin for a 5’4″ girl. She should be at least 98 lb. to look pretty and healthy.
like #6 and #17
Just watched the semi finals. My votes (in order of preference) – Moon, Peggy, Karen,
Number 12 Karen gets my vote. I think that number 13 and 9 are overrated. Number 17 is gonna get a TVB contract no matter what happens.
My preference:
#7 Acca
#13 Tammy
#17 Grace
#4 Iris
#9 Virginia
Agree! #13, 9 and 15 are over rated. #7 Acca’s – hmm, I don’t know … her face looks weird. It’s like it’s sunken in the middle. Yup, I like Grace too!
I need to rewatch again since none of them were truly memorable.
I really dislike how they grouped the girls and picked out their flaws. It was pretty disrespectful.
Anyone felt like they were trying to copy American Idol, X Factor, and alike …? I like the idea but it was poor execution. Seriously – girls are insecure enough in life, don’t need the extra kick.
I can relate to the girl that went from 170lbs to what she is now. 🙂
btw, pandamao, #4 Iris is not in the top 10.
The top 10 are (1) Kendy、(6) Moon、(7)Acca, (9) Virginia 、(12)Karen、(16)Peggy (20) Vicky, (15) Sisley, (13) Tammy (17) Grace.
Do you remember which one was really good at impersonating? I like her 🙂
#13 Tammy Au Yeung
