Kym Ng’s Dress Incident at Singapore Star Awards 2024

Actress Kym Ng experienced a humorous situation due to her overly considerate co-star, Zhu Houren.

On the 21st (local time), actor Kym Ng (56) attended the ‘Singapore Star Awards 2024’ hosted by Singapore’s public broadcaster, Mediacorp. That day, she was nominated for the Best Actress Award as Yang Kehua, a mortician who dies without fulfilling her wish in the romantic comedy-drama Till the End. Till The End depicts life and death, as well as stories of the farewells of a mortician.

When Kym Ng was announced as the Best Actress, Zhu Houren (69), who co-starred, quickly stood up and helped Kym Ng. Zhu Houren congratulated Kym Ng and tried to lift the strap of Kym Ng’s dress. However, Kym Ng initially wore an off-the-shoulder dress designed with the strap down. Unaware of this, Zhu Houren tried to lift the strap again, even after hugging Kym Ng.

Netizens who saw the scene described Zhu Houren as a “caring grandfather” and “gentleman” and found his mistake adorable. After the awards ceremony, Zhu Houren realized his mistake and apologized on his social media story (a post that can only be viewed for 24 hours), saying, “I caused trouble trying to help with Kym Ng’s dress” and “I made the situation worse.”

In the following story, he jokingly said, “Looking closely, the dress doesn’t look bad even with the strap lifted. It looks good.”

Meanwhile, the same day, Zhu Houren was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his work in Till the End.
