Hong Kong’s “Queen of Pop” Kelly Chen recently experienced a frightening encounter during her world tour concert in mainland China. A large crowd of people holding their phones pushed and surrounded her, causing a moment of panic for the singer.
In a video shared by netizens on social media, it showed Kelly Chen exiting a venue in mainland China after a concert and being swarmed by eager fans. Initially able to walk calmly, she soon found herself blocked by a group of people filming with their phones, making it difficult for her to move forward.
Faced with the sudden chaotic crowd, Kelly Chen put on a nervous expression, looking around anxiously, visibly startled and momentarily frozen in place.
According to the netizen who posted the video, the overwhelming crowd that caused the intense surrounding was not just comprised of fans, but also included self-media bloggers and hired photographers.
While this unexpected event left Kelly Chen shaken, many netizens also expressed admiration, seeing it as a testament to her enduring popularity in mainland China.
In fact, back in March of this year, after a performance in Yancheng, Jiangsu, Kelly Chen also had a scary encounter. As she was about to leave and entered an elevator, an emotionally charged male fan ignored security personnel, rushed into the elevator, and held the door open demanding a photo. Kelly Chen retreated to a corner in fear. However, she displayed a high level of emotional intelligence by calming the fan down with a “Calm down” and cooperated to take a photo outside the elevator, defusing the situation.
At 53 years old, Kelly Chen rose to fame in the 1990s with hits like “Love Paradise” and “Universal Love,” and also appeared in several films, becoming a significant figure in Chinese pop culture. During her peak career period, she excelled in music, film, and advertising industries, maintaining a stable and wholesome image.
On the personal front, Kelly Chen married her husband, Alex Lau, after years of courtship, and they have two sons. Often sharing their family life, she, along with her family, exudes happiness. Many media outlets describe her as the epitome of balancing family and career in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Regarded as a “hidden tycoon” in the Hong Kong entertainment circle, Kelly Chen wields great financial influence. With her father handling investments in properties, jewelry, and art, and her savvy investments alongside her husband, rumors have circulated that her wealth amounts to billions in Hong Kong dollars. When asked about her net worth in an interview, she humorously replied that she “dares not count” as she knows she has “a lot,” and jokingly added, “If I count, I might just end up spending it all.” This remark entertained netizens.
