Jacqueline Wong Sum-wing (Chinese: 黃心穎, born 23 January 1989) is an American-born Hong Kong Canadian former actress and television host managed by Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB). She won the Miss Hong Kong 2012 first runner-up title and placed in the top 12 talents at Miss World 2013.
Life and career
Early days
On January 23, 1989, Wong was born in New York City. Jacqueline is the youngest sister of four, with Scarlet Wong (artist and former host of ViuTV) as her elder sister.[1] At seven years old, she and her family moved and settled in Vancouver.
In 2012, she was attending the University of British Columbia, studying her Master of Business Administration before competing for Miss Hong Kong 2012. Raised by her Cantonese family in the US and Canada, she is fluent in English and Cantonese.
Beauty pageant and joining TVB
Jacqueline competed at Miss Hong Kong 2012 and won first runner-up title. The following year, she represented Hong Kong for Miss World 2013 and placed on the top 12 talents. Like all beauty pageant winners, she was offered a contract with Hong Kong television TVB and received training to become an entertainer. Starting in guest roles, Jacqueline has acted in 12 TVB drama series since 2013, and moved onto supporting roles.[2]
Scandal with Andy Hui

On 16 April 2019, Wong received heavy media exposure for her physical intimacies with married Hong Kong singer and actor Andy Hui. At the time of the incident, Hui was married to singer-actress Sammi Cheng and Wong was in a steady relationship with actor Kenneth Ma. The two shared a taxi ride, where they engaged in intimate acts recorded by the taxi's in-vehicle camera. The video was later made public by various news outlets. The pair was believed to have left the taxi together for Wong's residence. As damage control, Hui immediately made a public apology to his wife and loved ones, citing he was drunk that night but admitted his intoxication was no excuse for his behaviour.[3][4][5][6][7] [8] Since the scandal broke, Wong has blocked all comments from her social media accounts and later apologized on social media: "I can’t face myself and do not know how to face my family, Kenneth Ma, friends, company and colleagues... I don’t dare to ask everyone for forgiveness, and only beseech everyone to give some space to all the people who have been implicated."[9] Jacqueline's actions made her a social pariah. Her public image has been tarnished and promotions using her image has been removed or blocked. Jacqueline left Hong Kong and stayed in Los Angeles for several months to avoid public scrutiny and tabloids.[10]
Due to the scandal, Wong's role as in Chris Tsui Forensic Heroes IV was taken by good friend Roxanne Tong and scenes with the characters were reshot.[11][12]
