Veteran singer David Wong, who rose to fame in the Mandarin pop music scene with classic songs such as "You Got Me Drunk," passed away suddenly on June 3rd at his sister's home in Hawaii. In a statement from his lawyers, sisters Consulina Wong and Joann Wong were named as David Wong’s heirs, who would have full authority to handle his affairs. However, Vicky—his girlfriend and manager of over 20 years—criticized the statement as "not legal" in an interview with China Times News.
On the 14th, David Wong’s law firm released a statement declaring that his sisters were making the official announcement of his passing. The statement emphasized that David Wong had moved back to Hawaii with his sisters as early as the end of 2025. "Since then, other than his two sisters, no one else has had or will have authority to represent David Wong." The statement further pointed out that the sisters were David Wong's designated heirs and would handle all matters relating to his legacy.
The statement solemnly declared that any claims or negotiations regarding David Wong’s entertainment career by other parties were not valid and had no legal effect for the heirs of David Wong. It also warned that anyone operating social media accounts in David Wong’s name or unauthorized access to his communication apps should immediately cease such unlawful actions and shut down related accounts or platforms out of respect for privacy and personal information. Any defamatory or false accusations against David Wong, his family, friends, or colleagues will be officially documented and prompt legal action will be taken if necessary.
Vicky revealed that she had only spoken with David Wong’s mother by phone on the 13th and had only contacted Wong's brother’s family on the 14th. She announced that she would commission lawyers to file a complaint against the lawyer representing David Wong’s sisters and that she would soon issue an official statement.
She angrily stated: "The content of this public letter is also illegal. David Wong’s other family members were neither consulted nor informed about hiring a lawyer to issue this statement. He passed away on June 2nd (U.S. local time), but the family wasn’t notified until yesterday? Outrageous!" She asserted: "A will? How is it even possible there’s a will!"
In fact, David Wong and Vicky had been inseparable for many years. Since Vicky was diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2003, the two had braved a difficult road fighting the disease together. Unexpectedly, in December 2025, Vicky’s cancer relapsed, causing David Wong great emotional distress. Reportedly, so as not to let him remain immersed in sadness—while also ensuring she could undergo the necessary surgery and treatment—Vicky strongly persuaded David Wong to leave Taiwan and move to Hawaii to find peace of mind through music.
