Hong Kong's new generation singer Jasmine Yam Hei Ching, champion of the talent show "Stars Academy 2", was recently reported to be "shelved" due to her refusal to extend her contract. According to "Hong Kong 01", "Sing Again: Season 2" originally planned to invite Jasmine to participate. The show's producer made multiple attempts to contact her through TVB during the preparation period, but never received a definitive answer. It wasn't until two weeks before the show aired that the producer directly contacted Jasmine through other artists only to find out that someone had deliberately obstructed her participation. Jasmine had also sought approval from company executives and originally received a promise, but during an internal meeting, someone suggested, "If she doesn't want to extend the contract, she shouldn't be given such a good opportunity." As a result, her performance plans were canceled.
It is reported that the "contract extension incident" dates back to the "Stars Academy 2" competition period. At the time, Jasmine was seen as a promising talent because of her sweet appearance and outstanding singing ability. To consolidate its artists' strength, the company attempted to entice Jasmine with the award during the competition period, asking her to extend her contract by 5 years, forming a 10-year long contract. However, Jasmine, who comes from a well-off family, did not compromise and refused to renew. This move made her a "thorn in the side" for some executives, potentially leading her to follow in the footsteps of Yan Mingxi, with her path to stardom obstructed.
