Shirley Yeung Denies Being 'Frozen' Appearing yesterday at the Miss Hong Kong press event at Golden Bauhinia Square, Shirley Yeung was the most recognised out of all the Miss Hong Kong winners and many members of the public commented that she looks like a young girl and that they remembered her mother made her soup. Shirley explains that they have probably watched her mother cooking on a variety show, but being referred to as a 'young girl' makes her very happy because it makes her seem a few years younger. Thinking back to how she looked when she won her title, Shirley says that she has developed more spots now, but she has kept her spirits high and has not changed very much at all. Asked if her greatest achievement after the pageant was meeting her boyfriend Gregory Lee, Shirley laughs that she gained a lot of experience from the contest and at first she had never imagined she would win, because she is just an ordinary person. So is her boyfriend's greatest achievement finding her? Shirley laughs: "Achievement is your own and it was chance for us to meet." There have been reports that after openly supporting her boyfriend earlier, Shirley has been reprimanded for making her relationship too public and has been 'frozen' for two months by the company. Shirley says that their relationship has never been high profile and it is just the press who report on her when they see her dating. She also says that maybe it is because not many artistes will still be together after so many years. However, she says that the company will look at the performance of their artistes' work and will not curb someone's progress because they have a boyfriend. Asked if she feels she has less work lately, Shirley says that she is waiting for her new series to begin filming. When the reporters support her saying that it is not fair for her to be frozen just for dating and not even being a third party, she says awkwardly: "I am just doing my job." She also says that the company will be signing some newcomers, so they have to offer them opportunities, leaving the older artistes waiting for parts. She believes that the company will not hold back work because of her dating and she says that this has been going on for a few years now, during which she has still been working hard. http://www.takungpao.com.hk/news/07/04/12/UL-720039.htm
