SPEAKING OF
Tyson Yoshi, during a sold-out tour of the UK in April, the Hong Kong rapper spoke about dealing with people’s false perceptions of him. “People judge me without understanding my personality, and I hate it when people tell me they feel surprised because I don’t smoke or drink,” he tells Tatler. Yoshi, aka Cheng
Tsun-yin, also says he feels a duty to preserve Cantonese. “It’s our mother tongue and we’re already speaking it every day. If we [Hong Kong singers] are doing our best to produce music, our Cantonese heritage and efforts will eventually be recognised by a wider audience across the world—just like K-pop has done with Korean.”
