HK singer-actress Karen Mok announces retirement from concert touring
    2019-05-30  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

HONG KONG singer-actress Karen Mok, who turns 49 this Sunday, wants to venture into the world of musicals and theater when she goes into what she calls the second-half of her career, after her current concert tour ends.

“I find that it’s the most challenging of all performing arts. In a musical, you have to sing, dance and act live, and do it every night. That’s quite tough,” she said at a press conference Monday in Singapore.

“For our industry, I feel we really should have our own form of Chinese musical theater, just like how London has West End and New York has Broadway. I hope to do something to make this happen one day,” added Mok, who played Mimi in an Asian production of “Rent” in 2005.

But Mok, who launched her career in Hong Kong with her self-titled Canto-pop album, “Karen,” in 1993, stressed that she is not leaving showbusiness. “I’m not going to retire because performing is my life’s mission. It’s something I knew I wanted to do since I was little,” she said.

Mok was in Singapore to attend the Global Chinese Golden Chart Awards and to promote her show on June 15 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. It is part of The Ultimate Karen Mok Show concert tour, which kicked off in Shanghai in June last year to mark her 25-year-long showbusiness career. (SD-Agencies)
