Stephanie focuses on golfing after singing career wanes
HONG KONG: Stephanie Ho’s steadily rising career came to a standstill after her relationship with Fred Cheng came to light.
Her image plummeted after the media branded her as the third party in Fred’s previous relationship.
Initially, the couple kept their relationship under wraps. They were speculated to be dating after being spotted out together on several occasions. Against the company’s advice, the couple appeared hand-in-hand at the airport and publicly announced their relationship.
Stephanie’s label, Voice Entertainment, eventually “froze” them both. While Fred’s career slowly revived after the fiasco, Stephanie continued to see decline in her singing career. In comparison to her fellow artistes under Voice Entertainment, such as Jinny Ng and Hana Kuk, Stephanie’s career has remained at a standstill with no new opportunities. In addition to a deteriorating career, Stephanie was also under a lot of pressure from the media, eventually leading to depression.
For the sake of her mental health as well as to help Fred’s career, Stephanie ultimately decided not to renew her contract. Instead, she has been focusing on her golfing career. Perhaps unbeknown to many, Stephanie started playing golf when she was six years old and entered many tournaments. In January of this year, she competed and won first place at the Hong Kong Ladies Close Amateur Championship. After making her comeback in golf, she consequently returned to her position as a Hong Kong National Golf Team representative.
