Reveals She’s Not Just Pursued by One Person – 45-Year-Old Elaine Yiu Willing to Take on ‘Sisters Who Make Waves’ Challenge

TVB artists Elaine Yiu, Matthew Ho, and Angel Chiang attended the “TVB Welcomes Lunar New Year Banquet in Malaysia” on the 30th, greeting guests in advance and joining in a traditional “lou sang” celebration for the New Year. Many TVB Malaysia artists also took turns performing, including Wong Cheng Chun Yan, Pang Xu Yue, Lau Chuan Min, Xiao Wei Lun, Chan Yik San, Leung Chen Yu, Chan Hong Sing, and Lau Tai Lin, bringing festive cheer to the event with lively performances.

When Elaine Yiu was in Malaysia last year, she revealed that “someone is pursuing me.” Asked about her love life’s progress during the interview, she laughed and said she was still “getting to know people.” She humorously added, “It’s not just one person chasing after me.” She shared that her friends sometimes introduce her to potential partners at gatherings. “I just treat it as a chance to meet more new friends.” Currently 45 years old, Elaine Yiu admits she now prefers to focus on her career: “At this stage of my life, I want to dedicate more time to the things I love. As for romance, I’ll just let fate take its course—if it happens, it happens.”

Asked about her Lunar New Year plans, Elaine Yiu said that as an artist, she hardly gets any days off and will still be working during the holiday. “I really value Chinese New Year. In recent years, I try to stay in Hong Kong over the holiday to be with my family and my dog.” Despite being single, she still insists on giving red packets to colleagues, security guards, and children for good luck during work. She laughed, “I’ll shamelessly keep reaching out to collect red packets, too.” She added that this year, she can even get two red packets from her newlywed friend Nancy Wu.

As for her work plans this year, Elaine Yiu said acting will remain her main focus but she hopes to try more diverse projects. In recent years, she’s had more chances to sing, so she plans to take vocal lessons to prepare for possible concerts or music events in the future. She revealed her company once asked if she wanted to join “Midlife, Sing & Shine!” but she hasn’t gathered the courage to take on that challenge yet; if it were “Sisters Who Make Waves,” though, she’d be willing to try.

This is the second year in a row that Matthew Ho has worked in Malaysia ahead of Lunar New Year. He praised Malaysia’s festive atmosphere and hopes to make “coming to Malaysia before the New Year” a tradition in the future. He revealed that he would have leg surgery after returning to Hong Kong, as he injured his left ligament playing football earlier. He will need crutches for about a month post-surgery and joked, “I’ll have two extra crutches to keep me company for New Year.”

Matthew Ho said although it’s a minor surgery, he was touched by the concern shown by friends and will do rehab proactively so he can return to variety show filming after Lunar New Year and prepare for the HYROX event in May. He emphasized that choosing to have the operation is for long-term safety: “I really love playing soccer, so having the surgery makes me feel more at ease.”
