Mayday’s lead singer Ashin has kept his romantic life mysterious throughout his many years in the spotlight. In 2018, fortune teller Chiang Bo-le predicted marriage for golden bachelor stars in the showbiz industry, shockingly claiming that Ashin had actually been secretly married for 6 or 7 years and even had a child, a statement which Ashin denied via a public post. Recently, a copy of Ashin’s life insurance policy has been circulating on Threads, showing the 100% beneficiary listed as his longtime rumored assistant 'cousin' Hong Wanqi, with the relationship column filled in as 'wife', further stoking rumors of Ashin’s secret marriage.
Ashin was exposed by netizens for, under the recommendation of superstar friend Jay Chou, purchasing a large life insurance policy with Manulife at Charles Monat Associates on May 2, 2024, valued at up to $2 million USD (about 7.94 million MYR). The 100% beneficiary of the policy is his assistant Hong Wanqi, with the relationship column filled as 'wife'. Netizens did some “keyboard detective” work and found that the signing date was exactly during a rest day for Mayday’s seven-show “Back to That Day” concert series held at Hong Kong Central Harbourfront Event Space.
According to the netizen whistleblower, the insurance company acts as a broker for many top-tier celebrities, including Louis Koo and Eason Chan, and that Ashin was referred to them by Jay Chou. The policy in question is a Charles Monat legacy protection savings plan, with Ashin planning to finish paying more than $2 million USD within five years. The most attention-grabbing detail is that the beneficiary listed is his assistant, with her title given as 'wife'.
Since debut, the only girlfriend Ashin has ever publicly acknowledged is his “Egg Girl” from university, with whom he dated for 14 years. However, in 2014, Ashin was rumored to be unusually close with his assistant, known as “cousin”. The two were spotted together at night markets playing claw machines, shopping in department stores and supermarkets, and the following year, traveled to Tokyo together, even seen strolling shoulder to shoulder. After being recognized by the public, they quickly left. Later that year, a weekly magazine reported the two had been living together for two years, but at that time, Mayday’s agency B’in Music denied the romance, saying it was normal for an assistant to be around the boss. Reportedly, cousin has been working with Ashin for over 10 years. The viral news of Ashin’s insurance policy has once again reignited rumors of his secret marriage. In response, B’in Music replied: 'This is false information, thank you for your concern.' #
