However, when introducing herself, she often insists, “I’m 34 years young. Please don’t call me Madam Kuen anymore, just Kuen-Kuen or even Little Kuen will do.” ViuTV’s Launch and Her Career Some refer to her as ViuTV’s “leading lady”, and rightfully so, she’s been with the channel since its inception.

That Year, She Became a Wanderer of the Earth “In a single, exhaustive day, I became a global nomad.” On September 11, 2022, a young woman commenced her worldwide adventure, sharing the beginning of her journey on Instagram from her first stop, London.

However, it’s crucial to distinguish Rosa from her on-screen persona, for in real life, she embodies the very essence of maternal love.  The Right to Cry as a Mother Having been with her husband since 2001 and married after a 13-year courtship, they welcomed their daughter Mia seven years later.
