WHY NOT BOLD?

The Story of a Local Kombucha Brand’s Nine-Year Entrepreneurial Venture Interviewing with Taboocha Lisa & Pat

Do you ever feel that the beverages we consume from childhood to adulthood are mostly provided by big brands? Whether it's lemon tea, chocolate milk, fresh milk, or fruit juice, the options available are so limited that you can almost name them all.

【WHY NOT BOLD】Interviewing with Hong Kong Twerker – Gong2gu2 Kimberly

【WHY NOT BOLD】Atypical heroine- Interviewing JW

Perhaps it was as a vocal instructor on “STARS Academy”? Or Cheuk Yan Yan in Fraudstars (2021)? As for the labels “idol”, “singer” and “actress”, which one do you believe best captures her essence? In her own words, she identifies as an entertainer. This term carries a certain neutrality and humility. “I love to sing. When I sing, my aim is to entertain my audience. When I act, my performance is a unique form of amusement for the public.” It was only three years ago when she enrolled in Kearen Pang's drama class that she unearthed her hidden talent for acting. “Singing is a rather solitary pursuit, but when I act, I c...
