Hacken has fun in answering rumours of his wife being pregnant

There have been rumours recently of Emily Lo being pregnant. When approached the other night (JSG awards), Hacken neither denied nor confirmed the rumours. Instead he told reporters to ask him next time. This makes one feel that the news has not been publicised as the baby is not yet 3 months and give more credibility to the reports.

The night before last, Hacken attended the first rounds of the 2007 JSG awards ceremony. The MC seized the chance to ask Hacken about the good news. Hacken didn't answer directly and instead started to promote his new album but joking that making an album was like making a little baby. The due date is around June or July. After Hacken went backstage, reporters once again asked him and he did not deny it outright. Instead he continued to joke about the day of birth being around June or July, and that the producers of his album were the doctor and anaesthetist. He said "People say that making an album is like giving birth. (Are you denying it?) I'll check later. I'll go to 7-11 and buy an iceblock (pregnancy test kit) and check. I've been busy recently so haven't had time to check." When asked if Hacken was worried that the baby was not yet 3 months and that was why he wasn't denying or confirming, Hacken sighed and said that the reporters couldn't write so much in one go and to ask him next time. And this gives the rumours more credibility.

Hacken's frieds are all encouraging him and he indicates that he is trying his best. He even passed the ball to Alan Tam saying that if there was good news then he would be the first one told. Hacken went on to say "Ask Alan. He's like half my dad and loves answering things for people. He's also great at it like as if he was acting a part, if I let him announce it then it would all be very happy." When it was pointed out that Hacken was taking half a year off to be with his wife, he answered that no matter when, work that has been organised must be done. He laughed that with his life, he couldn't take a holiday, and the recording and release date of the album was set a lont time ago. In other news, Kay Tse who was pregnant did not perform that night. She thanked everyone for being understanding and as she was almost approaching 8 months, she has been attending pregnancy classes and planning for the baby.

2007 JSG awards (first round)

The 2007 first round JSG awards were held in the Tseung Kwun Ou studio. Apart from the "top ten song" awards there was also a "most popular Chinese song" award. George Lam and Teresa Carpio are soon to be holding concerts, and they were invited as guest performers. The night's winners included Hacken Lee's "Prince Princess", Twins' "Loving for 6 Years", Kenny B's "Everyday is a Good Day", Stephy Tang's "Lightbulb", Alex Fong's "Big Little Heart", Ivana Wong's "Picture Meaning", Grasshoppers' "forever", AT17's "Same Soung Same Air", Kay Tse's "New Problems Arising", Eason Chan's "Under Mount Fuji", Denise Ho's and Juno's "The 3rd Person (love triangle)", and Stefanie Sun's "What I Miss" took home the most popular Chinese song award. Earlier there were reports that Hacken's wife was pregnant and that he was taking half a year off work to be with his wife. When asked if he was expecting a baby soon he joked that the baby would be born in June or July. Of course he was calling his new album his baby, as making an album was comparable to giving birth. The pregnant Kay Tse attended to accept her award, but did not perform. Kay was very happy about being a mum soon. And because after her album, she has been promoting a lot less due to the baby, she thanked everyone for their support in giving her the award.

Hacken continues working despite disappointment

Hacken Lee commented that at the TVB JSG awards ceremony, the atmosphere was very relaxed, with MC Eric Tsang saying many interesting comments, but the best moment of the whole show was when general manager of TVB Stephen Chan told Eric to shake hands with singer Joey Yung (Eric had previously made hurtful comments towards Joey).

As to the loss of the best male singer award, Hacken conceded he was a bit disappointed, and said all he could do was hope for a better result next year. However, he was happy for the winner Eason Chan, who is from the same record company as him. Hacken said: "Each year the best person in the entertainment industry will always be Andy Lau, and those who lose in their plans are the record companies, not the singers. I hope that everybody can fight for the awards with not what they say, but with the amount of work they put in and the results they get."

As to losing the award to Eason, Hacken replied: "This year Eason has really done very well. Of course I am a bit disappointed, but the music industry is about long-term results, so I hope 2007 I can do even better. Once again, Hacken reiterated that he felt winning awards should be each singer's individual capabilities, and hoped singer's would not fight for awards through a war of words.
