Details

Ekin Cheng Yee-Kin was born October 4th 1967 in Hong Kong. His parents named him Yee-Kin. Kin means healthy in Chinese and his family's wish was that he would always be healthy. Yee-Kin is healthy and very fit, although he does wear contact lenses. Ekin is the middle child, he has an older brother and a younger sister. His father had to work very hard to support his family and Ekin still really admires him for the sacrifices he made.

Ekin started in commercials while he was still in high school. After graduating he participated in a singing contest, although he didn't win, he did attract notice, and soon after enrolled in TVB's Martial Arts School. He didn't enjoy martial arts and so switched to the Acting School. A good move. Ekin was soon cast in a number of TVB shows and serials.

Ekin made his first movie "Girls Without Tomorrow" in 1992. He made several romantic comedies before being cast as Chan Ho-Nam in the highly successful Young and Dangerous movies, which propelled Ekin to super-stardom.

Ekin has experienced a lot of pressure from the Hong Kong press. They have torn apart every facet of his life. He has only been the subject of one major news story, however, when he left Maggie Sui for Gigi Leung Wing-Kei. Ekin told reporters that he was an ordinary guy who had fallen out of love with one person and in love with an another. More recently, he was stalked and secretly filmed by a weekly magazine, the resulting rumors and gossip have caused him to be extremely angry and resentful of the press.
