Shah Alam, 18 November 2016: Jessie Chung, who has just returned back to Malaysia from Taiwan, recently took second place in the most influential and authoritative chart of the Taiwanese music industry, Five Music’s Top 5 Chart for international albums, beating Celine Dion. However, haters, always green with envy, fired nasty remarks at her once again.
To encourage their idol, Jessie Chung International Fan Club cooperated with Future Entertainment & Music Group Australia to organize a fan club meeting to strengthen Jessie in the face of internet trolls. That night, bursting into tears, a touched Jessie divulged her thoughts and feelings of being cyber-bullied and her frequent considerations of giving up, because her career hasn’t always been a breeze.
Jessie Chung also revealed in front of her fans that as a child she’s always been insecure, never having any faith in herself. Ironically, since primary school, her teachers and principals had always encouraged her to go on stage, convincing her to represent the school and sometimes even the whole state of Sarawak in singing competitions. Despite of recent successes and reassurances, such as receiving positive reviews from Taiwanese critic Qiu Da Li and Chinese music judge Lu Shi Wei, and even taking second place on Taiwan’s Five Music chart, Jessie still considers herself inferior to other artists. Luckily, her career survived to this day because of the support and encouragement from her fans.
The vile words used in cyber-bullying against Jessie are quite horrendous and appalling, some users even went to the extent of cursing her directly on Facebook, hurting her feelings and giving her much pain. Although facing cyber-bullying once again, Jessie Chung stated that she felt that her fans’ devotion and love towards her are ever stronger. “I can choose to ignore, pretend that I didn’t see the hateful comments, but you guys are braver than me, you always choose to take them head on and defend me, thank you so much.” When she finished, Jessie couldn’t hold back her tears and began to sob in front of her fans.
In return to the fans’ love and encouragements, Jessie’s Australian record label gave her permission to give her fans a peek at her next album’s costume design and cover, and a preview for her three new singles and one new music video, causing the crowd to boil with excitement.
At the end of the gathering, the organizer also held a “Moonlight Stage Play Parody Contest”, allowing fans to split into groups to act out their own renditions of the stage play originally lead by Jessie. The contest was quite entertaining to watch, and received constant laughs from the audience; the contest also didn’t fail to brighten Jessie’s emotions, she seemed to be enjoying herself. Fans had fun all the way to midnight, finishing the gathering with joy and excitement.
