Bowie Tsang Po Yee (Chinese: 曾寶儀; pinyin: Zēng Bǎoyí; born 21 February 1973) is a Hong Kong-Taiwanese television host, singer, actress, and writer. She is the daughter of Eric Tsang.

Career

[edit]

Tsang was born in Hong Kong to actor Eric Tsang and his first wife, Wang Mei-Wah. She was raised in both Hong Kong and Taipei, and graduated from National Taiwan University in 1995 with a bachelor’s degree in sociology.[1] Her half-brother, Derek Tsang, from her father's second marriage, is an Oscar- and Primetime Emmy-nominated director.[2]

While at university, she worked as an assistant producer at Zhen Yan She, a subsidiary of Rock Records. She then held various behind-the-scenes roles in film and television in Hong Kong, including script supervision and production assistance, as her father discouraged her from pursuing an entertainment career through his connections.[1]

Tsang returned to Taiwan in 1997 and became a host on Chung T'ien Television (formerly CTN). She was discovered by Taiwanese producer Chang Hsiao-yen, who signed Tsang to her management company in 1999.[1] From 1999 to 2003, she released six albums.[1]

In 2000, Tsang was implicated in a high-profile breakup between Mickey Huang and Dee Hsu, after Hsu accused Tsang of having an affair with Huang. The allegation was substantiated in 2001 with paparazzi photos published in the inaugural issue of Next Magazine (Taiwan), prompting Tsang’s shift from Taiwan to mainland China, where she pursued an acting career throughout the 2000s. She shifted her career back to Taiwan in the 2010s, and won the Best Entertainment Program Host at the 2013 Golden Bell Awards.[1] In 2019, she was the interviewer on Grain Media's documentary series, The Eve of Tomorrow.[1]
