She is worth supporting."

Hidden Text:

Sterling Wong
Interviewer & Journalist from Singapore Teenage Magazine

Sterling: "There is a natural appeal and down-to-earth charm about Charlene Choi that is sweet but never saccharine - no excessive pouting, eyelash batting or babyvoiced coos."

Jay Chou

Jay: "I feel that her ability is beyond my imagination."

Hu Ge

Hu Ge: "Ah Sa is super cute. Super cute to the max!"

Lee
A Mainland Host who performed a live duet with Charlene
at Changsha 2009, on his First Experience meeting Charlene

Lee: "Ah Sa is very brilliant, have a warm smile, very straight forward, very spiritual and is focused. After chatting with her for 20 minutes, Charlene believes the most important thing is being happy, you shouldn't care too much of what others have to say. When Charlene first greeted the audience [at the concert], there was so much applause and crying that it was like a thunder. Many fans were so happy to see her, they cover their mouth but they couldn't hold back their tears. This is Charlene Choi, from a 3 year old kid to a 80 year old, they are all delighted to see her, people could not bear to harm her."

Huang Xiao Ming
In a video-interview, on choosing his ideal Girfriend between 5 girls, including both Twins.

HWM: "Between these 5 girls... Personality wise, *Points to picture of Charlene* Actually, I find her very adorable."

Host: "Twins?"

HXM: *specifys* "Ah Sa. I feel that her personality is very cute. I've watch a few of her movies before, even though I may not know her, but I feel that she's very cute, like, very friendly and easy to open up to people. However, she has that kind of feeling, which is like a little bit silly and clueless, but not actually really dumb, but the kind of innocently naive, very cute kind of silly. "

Raymond Wong

Host: Who do you think is this generation most potential comedian?
Raymond: "Ah Sa." [Exactly what Sandra Ng said!]

Harlem Yu

Harlem: "[She] sounds exactly like [her] name, "Silly". (Sa Sa in mandarin) "

Edison Chen

Reporter: Which Twin do you think is better?
Edison: I feel that Charlene is more better, even though she's more cool, does not like to talk much, but her acting skills is very good, can say that she's the best actress amongst all the other actresses of her age group. She's very intelligent, during filming, whatever the director wants, she can very quickly understand and even be able to do it well, that's really very impressive. She's also very serious. It's true, if I could choose who I want to be my leading female for my new movie, I would definitely choose Charlene!"

Chilam Cheung

Chilam Cheung couldn't help but praised Charlene for looking so seductive that people may indulge in fantasy thoughts.

Daniel Wu

When Daniel was asked about whether or not filming has been tiring, he said that it's currently not so tiring as they're still shooting indoor scenes, but he's happiest about seeing Charlene again, after not seeing her for such a long time. And he was so shocked, in a good way, to see how much Charlene has
matured since he last saw her.

Joey Yung

Joey: "Don't look at her baby face, actually she is a strong woman."

Sandra Ng

Sandra: "I really envy Charlene! She's like a paper thin person, but she literally has not stopped eating the entire time! She's so 'ging' (amazing)! I'm one of those people where after I eat, it won't dissapear. We just gave her some food and were about to gather to take a photo, and she was like "Aiya, wait for me to eat first!". And, she eats so fast too!"

Kenny Kwan

Kenny Kwan "wants to work with Charlene because she tries hard at what she does and it's a great chance to work with her."

Kenny Kwan, personally called up and asked Charlene to star in his First Know Music Video (The first MV he was allowed to choose his own female lead for. Kenny said that when Mani told him he was allowed to feature any lead he wanted, the first girl he thought of was Charlene.), despite knowing that there is a french kissing scene involved for the MV. Charlene accepted the invite and was willing to do the MV for no pay out of their friendship, BUT insisted on rejecting the intended french kissing part, "Kissing is okay, but NO tounge!"

Kenny: "She's grown to be really too pretty.
Amongst all the girls I've ever known, she is the most beautiful.

Kenny had also once admitted to having
a crush on Charlene on a HK radio interview.

Vincy Yeung

Vincy: "I remember Ah Sa, during the first year that I entered the business, Ah Sa went to Japan and helped me by a whole load of clothes for me. She has really great taste in picking clothes and they really matched me. And she's so nice that when I went to her house, she helped me match all these clothes and outfits and even lent me other clothing."

Wong Jing

Director Wong Jing firmly believes that
"Charlene is one of 3 actresses that are the best Hong Kong has to offer."

This is a big thing because Director Wong Jing was the director who had initially ridiculed Charlene's acting in a certain movie in 2004. However, after once having seen her working Behind The Scenes during one of the movies that he was producing, Director Wong Jing had a 180 degrees change in impression of Charlene, and now highly regards her as one of the Top 3 Actresses in Hong Kong.

Wu Chun

Wu Chun: "She is a very lively vibrant girl. Any place with her will feel very happy, like a happy place."

Wu Chun: "Throughout this more than 1 year,
Charlene has put in a large load of hardwork.
She is worth supporting."
