Leehom Celebrates, A-mei and Shu Qi fight to send messages of congrats, Monday June 12, 2006 Monday
GMA king" Wang Li Hong (Leehom) could hardly hide his happiness at the after party, drank one huge gulp of champagne, and his cell phone ringing nonstop, including text messages sending in here and there. Did Cheung Hui Mei (Amei) or Shu Qi send him a text message to congratulate him? He thought for a long moment, and said, "It doesn't need to be only them. I have a lot friends, your (referring to reporters) friends sent me some text messages too!Although Leehom managed to embrace such a huge honor, he was still very secretive about his rumors. However, he did admit that after he saw Amei's performance, he sent a text message to her at the end of the awards ceremony, telling her that her performance was magnificent and great. Will Amei reply to his message? He said, "This you will have to ask her (Amei)."Leehom stated that in the beginning he thought Hu De Fu (Kimbo) would grab the "Best Mandarin Pop Male Award": "After I saw Kimbo's live performance, I was amazed that he had so much strength. He has such a unique voice. He can definately sing." After he found out that it was he who won, he became overjoyed, and said, "This year's 'family plan' really worked. Tanya (Chua Jian Ya) brought her mother to the awards and I brought my brother. In the end, both of us won this great honor."When he said his words of thanks, he provided a proverb: "Gong Yu Shan Qi Shi, Bi Xian Li Qi Qi" (To make something near perfect, must master the basics. - breif translation) His Chinese had improved tremendously. He also added "Fen Gao Ji Gui" ('Burn the midnight oil': Working hard all day and night for a job - breif translation) and "Xue Shang Jia Xuang" ('Adding ice on snow': Making a situation worse - breif translation) to emphasize how he was teased at the award ceremony. One of the reporters joked and said, "I think it should be called 'spreading salt on your wound'!" After he heard that it was the name of one of Amei's songs, he quickly answered, "I think 'adding ice on snow' is better!"Source: Yahoo! TaiwanImage Source: USLHFCTranslated by: Scarlett
Walks down REd Carpet with Little Brother; Performing with Jin
The 17th Annual Golden Melody Awards (The Taiwanese equivalent of Grammies) will commence this Saturday June 10th. The latest buzz is about the red carpet, what clothes the stars will wear, who will walk in with whom. One of the celebrities that is causing the most stir is Leehom. Leehom is a musician and that is as much as many know about him. He has been one of the few celebrities that has effectively hid his private romance life from the media. He perfers to focus on his music and doesn't like to use his public life to stir up publicity. But his secrecy is a double-edged sword. Many people respect him for having such a professional attitude, yet at the same time many prying eyes are trying to discover Leehom's private life. After a year full of defamatory rumours made by the media from his gay relationship, to a relationship with Victoria, to a relationship with Shu Qi, many are wondering who Leehom is taking onto the red carpet. In 2002 Leehom walked the red carpet with Vivan Hsu, in 2003 he walked the red carpet with Amei, in 2004, he walked the red carpet with Shu Qi. However, this year is unique, Leehom is keeping it simple. Leehom's little brother Leekai will be walking the red carpet with Leehom this year. Leekai currently is a junior at prestigious american university, MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technolgy). Currently Leekai is on summer vacation and so Leekai is visiting Leehom in Taiwan. Leehom has always had a close relationship with his younger brother. Ever since Leekai was born, Leehom started babysitting him. As Leekai grew older Leehom took Leekai with him everywhere he went, even when he went to the movies or bowling with his friends. Whatever he was doing, he would always have a little Leekai by his side. Now that his little brother is grown up, it is still no different as Leehom brings him to the GMAs. Leehom will also be performing with fellow ABC and friend Jin at the awards show. They two will sing a rearranged version of "Heroes of the World," called "Heros of the GMAs". Leehom invited Jin to perform at the show, this is the first time Jin has performed at such a high scale event in Asia.About LeekaiLeekai is almost 10 years younger than Leehom and is currently 20. Ever since Leekai was young, Leehom and Leekai have had a close relationship. Leehom taught Leekai addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with cheerios when Leekai was only 2 years old. Leehom has also instilled in Leekai a love for music and Leekai plays the violin, the drums, and the piano. Like the rest of the Wang family Leekai is extremely talented, he speaks Chinese, French, Spanish, Latin, and English. Although he sings and has stared in school musicials, Leekai's main disposition, unlike Leehom, isn't music, but math. He currently is a junior at MIT.

Leehom's finally crowned as "GMA King", two hot girls by his side, Monday June 12, 2006 Taiwan
During last year's "Golden Melody Awards" (GMAs), Mok Man Wai (Karen Mok) had mispronounced the winner's name, and mistakenly called GMA king Huang Li Xing to Wang Li Hong, causing Wang Li Hong (Leehom) to mistakenly run up on stage, thinking that he had won the award. The environment was extremely embarassing, and ironically, this year's GMAs were once again arranged for Karen to present the "Best Mandarin Pop Male Singer" award, but Leehom had finally managed to grab this honor!Coming once every year, the GMAs were held two nights ago at Taipei Arena. Last year, during the same award, an extremely hilarious event happened, and that was when "Best Mandarin Pop Male Award" Leehom heard Karen and her hard-to-distinguish Mandarin mistakenly called his own name. He immediately rushed on stage, but in the end it turned out that the winner was actually Huang Li Xing, and the environment was extremely embarssing. This year's award ceremony, Karen once again was arranged to present the same award, and just like last year, she "called" Leehom's name. When Leehom heard his name, the first thing he said as he was praising Karen: "You have such accurate Mandarin!" Afterwards, he used Cantonese and said, "I need to 'hit Karen,' meaning that I need to kiss her!"Leehom admitted that the embarassment from last year was still etched deeply in his heart, and said, "When I saw Karen, that same awkward feeling came again. Last year's incident had made me embarassed for quite some time. If the award was once again given to me, it would definately be 'adding ice on snow.' I would definately go crazy." Once again being the GMA king for the second time, it wasn't until after he said his speech of thanks when he forgot to thank his mom. He felt really bad and annoyed. Afterwards, he quickly called his mom and thanked her wholeheartedly. Leehom also exposed that he already had his winnings from his award, and he would invite 15 co-workers from his company on a vacation, planning that they would spend at least 500,000 dollars. (Taiwan currency.)At the after party, the happy Leehom were drinking champagne nonstop, at the same time he also boldly talked about his old rumored girlfriend, Cheung Hui Mei (Amei). Two nights ago, Amei was a guest performer, and Leehom at the same time saw her performance and thought it was brilliant. After the award ceremony, he messaged her, and in the message, he put, "Your performance was great!" But when asked if Amei had replied, Leehom replied sneakily, "Next time you guys ask her by yourself. Asking more than once is the fun part." Famous Taiwan host Tao Jing Ying exposed that Amei still cares a lot about Leehom. During the time when they were announcing the "Best Mandarin Pop Male Singer," Tao Jing Ying told Amei that the winner seemed to be Leehom, Amei became really excited, and constantly said, "Really?"When Leehom was asked about if his other rumored girlfriend, Shu Qi, send him any text messages to congratulate him, he heaved a deep sigh, thought for several long seconds, and replied with caution, "I received a lot of text messages from my friends." After the after party, Leehom went to a friend's house to celebrate. Unfortunately, some people caught that there were two hot girls sitting in the car. After that, Leehom explained that both of them were his good friends, and he's not afraid of having more rumors.Soucre: Yahoo! Hong KongTranslated by: Scarlett

The start of the show was headlined by Leehom Wang and tapper Jin. This is the first time American star Jin has performed at a Chinese Award show. They performed their song Gai Shi Ying Xiong, but Leehom rearranged the tune and changed the lyrics to fit it into the theme of the award show. The song was retitled "Heros of the Golden Melody Awards." Leehom played the drum, performed a flag stunt, and had a Kung-Fu fight with his dancers. Another commendable performance was the Taiwanese Diva Amei. After a few years of hiatus, she came back with a loud bang. Her amazing voice and dance moves reminded the entire crowd why she is known as a Diva in Taiwan. credit: ent.tom.com, sohu.com, sina.com

17th Annual GMAs: "The GMA King is really me!" Leehom Wang celebrates., Monday June 12, 2006 Taiwan
The king and queen of this year's Golden Melody Awards are on fire! Because of Mok Man Wai (Karen), who had unclearly pronounced the name of last year's "Best Mandarin Pop Male Singer," led Wang Li Hong (Leehom) to think that it was he who had won the award and mistakenly went up on stage. This time he had taken revenge and happily celebrated his win. Two best friends Chua Jian Ya (Tanya) and Sun Yan Zi (Stephanie) also celebrated together, their tears of happiness dropping endlessly down their cheeks.Finally being able to be known as the Golden Melody King, Leehom this time was sure that he had not heard wrong, and happily celebrated. Last year, Karen had mispronounced the name and said, "Wang Li Xing," and it turned out to be Huang Li Xing instead of Wang Li Hong. This time, they had arranged Lixing and Karen to present the award to Leehom, causing the three of them to be on the same stage at the same time.Leehom: "The GMAs Best Mandarin Pop Male Singer. It has been eight years since I last got this award, and also after the embarassing scene from last year, this has made me extremely delighted and happy. But to be from honestly, I am very thankful."Although the GMA king is happy, he'll never forget about the embarassing scene from last year! Tanya, who had beaten great friends Stephanie and Leong Jing Ru (Fish), and being 11 years in the industry, was finally known as GMA queen, and emotionally accepted her award as Best Mandarin Pop Female Singer.Tanya: "The GMAs Best Mandarin Pop Female Singer, we will bravely love every second of it."Chua Mama dressed formally to the after party. Stephanie who had lost to good friend Tanya also celebrated along. It had been a great night for everyone.

Leehom angers internet bloggers as he accepts award, Monday June 12, 2006 Taiwan
This is the second time Wang Li Hong (Leehom) was crowned as Golden Melody (GMA) king. Two nights ago when the award was presented to him, he triumphantly ran up on stage and kissed "enemy" Mok Man Wai (Karen Mok). The two are indeed now more comfortable with each other, but when Leehom started his speech, he said something that quite shocked several people: "I think the real competitors are not the talented artists in front of me, but the artists from other countries." This had enraged many bloggers online, stating that Leehom "does not understand the meaning of being humble after winning an award" or "obviously stabbing at the singers who lost to him", etc.Last night, Leehom heard of the news and was deeply disappointed. "This was definately not what I meant to say. I meant that all of us talented artists must group together and support each other to compete against the artists from other non-Asian countries. This will make our music more international and meaningful." Besides all that, he also exposed that his good friend Shu Qi did indeed sent him an SMS to congratulate him. He also sent an SMS to Cheung Hui Mei (Amei), telling her that her performance at the GMAs was superb.When Leehom was doing his speech after he accepted his award, he said that he never thought he was a person who could sing very well, and even until now he is still experimenting and learning different styles of singing, and because of this, he spoke out a famous Chinese proverb, "Gong Yu Shan Qi Shi, Bi Xian Li Qi Qi (To make something perfect, you must master the basics)". He believes that he must first do well on his "homework", and only then when things will be perfect. He also hopes that everyone would continue to practice and discover their own and new singing talents.Last night Leehom was hyper to the highest point. During the after party he exhaled boldly that he was feeling happy and relieved. He at first thought that Hu De Fu (Kimbo) would be crowned as GMA king because of his unique style of singing. Leehom's first regret. however, after he finished his speech was that he did not thank his mother. When he went off stage the first thing he did was to call his mother. Leehom explained that he and his mother were "Best Homies." He said, "I understand her the most and she understands me the most. Our DNA should be the most alike!"When he ran on stage to accept his award, Leehom became so happy that he kissed Karen's cheek, beautifully wiping away the dark needle inside his heart from last year's embarassment. Actually, he wanted to thank Karen for last year reading Huang Li Xing's name wrong on the list. Because of her, the fast food restaurant Leehom is being a spokeperson for, McDonald's, decided to nickname Leehom as "Huang Lu Hong" as a selling point. Two nights ago during the "Golden Melody Crimes," it pointed out 5 subjects that led to Leehom's embarassment scene last year during the same award. Leehom laughed and cried, "Ella and Selina's round and surprised eyes were absolutely hilarious! By looking at their confused faces, this can explain that I am innocent."He also said the he was thankful that he won an award, if not it would definately be "Zai Shang Kou Shang Sha Yian (Spreading salt on your wound)". Coincidentally, Amei has had a song called "Bia Zai Shang Kou Sha Yian (Don't spread salt on your wound)" and when the reporters began to hum the lyrics of the song, Leehom smiled and quickly said, "No no, it's 'Xue Shang Jia Xuang (Adding ice on snow)'!" He had once again showed his talent of mastering Chinese proverbs.Good friend Blackie (Chen Jian Zhou aka Heiren), Wang Hong En and Tang Zhi Zhong (Jason) all attended to Leehom's celebration after party. Leehom also gave some "exclusive" information to the media, "I collaborated with Wang Hong En in his new CD." Jason also exposed that when they were collaborating, Leehom had played the piano all day and Wang Hong En was still complaining that it did not have enough feelings and emotions to it and he was not quite satisfied.Afterwards, GMA queen Chua Jian Ya (Tanya) also came and congratulated Leehom. When they saw each other they immediately gave each other a warm embrace and kissed each other's cheeks. The media stirred up and told Tanya to immediately teach Leehom how to do the Yoga. The light bulb in her head lit up and she lifted her right leg and placed it on Leehom's left shoulder. Leehom had no choice but to battle drinking with her in an awkward and difficult position. People laughed and joked that once they get home they should not wash their shoulders and feet.

Because of Mok Man Wai (Karen), who had unclearly pronounced the name of last year's "Best Mandarin Pop Male Singer," led Wang Li Hong (Leehom) to think that it was he who had won the award and mistakenly went up on stage. This time he had taken revenge and happily celebrated his win. Two best friends Chua Jian Ya (Tanya) and Sun Yan Zi (Stephanie) also celebrated together, their tears of happiness dropping endlessly down their cheeks.Finally being able to be known as the Golden Melody King, Leehom this time was sure that he had not heard wrong, and happily celebrated. Last year, Karen had mispronounced the name and said, "Wang Li Xing," and it turned out to be Huang Li Xing instead of Wang Li Hong. This time, they had arranged Lixing and Karen to present the award to Leehom, causing the three of them to be on the same stage at the same time.Leehom: "The GMAs Best Mandarin Pop Male Singer. It has been eight years since I last got this award, and also after the embarassing scene from last year, this has made me extremely delighted and happy. But to be from honestly, I am very thankful."Although the GMA king is happy, he'll never forget about the embarassing scene from last year! Tanya, who had beaten great friends Stephanie and Leong Jing Ru (Fish), and being 11 years in the industry, was finally known as GMA queen, and emotionally accepted her award as Best Mandarin Pop Female Singer.Tanya: "The GMAs Best Mandarin Pop Female Singer, we will bravely love every second of it."Chua Mama dressed formally to the after party. Stephanie who had lost to good friend Tanya also celebrated along. It had been a great night for everyone.

Leehom angers internet bloggers as he accepts award, Monday June 12, 2006 Taiwan
This is the second time Wang Li Hong (Leehom) was crowned as Golden Melody (GMA) king. Two nights ago when the award was presented to him, he triumphantly ran up on stage and kissed "enemy" Mok Man Wai (Karen Mok). The two are indeed now more comfortable with each other, but when Leehom started his speech, he said something that quite shocked several people: "I think the real competitors are not the talented artists in front of me, but the artists from other countries." This had enraged many bloggers online, stating that Leehom "does not understand the meaning of being humble after winning an award" or "obviously stabbing at the singers who lost to him", etc.Last night, Leehom heard of the news and was deeply disappointed. "This was definately not what I meant to say. I meant that all of us talented artists must group together and support each other to compete against the artists from other non-Asian countries. This will make our music more international and meaningful." Besides all that, he also exposed that his good friend Shu Qi did indeed sent him an SMS to congratulate him. He also sent an SMS to Cheung Hui Mei (Amei), telling her that her performance at the GMAs was superb.When Leehom was doing his speech after he accepted his award, he said that he never thought he was a person who could sing very well, and even until now he is still experimenting and learning different styles of singing, and because of this, he spoke out a famous Chinese proverb, "Gong Yu Shan Qi Shi, Bi Xian Li Qi Qi (To make something perfect, you must master the basics)". He believes that he must first do well on his "homework", and only then when things will be perfect. He also hopes that everyone would continue to practice and discover their own and new singing talents.Last night Leehom was hyper to the highest point. During the after party he exhaled boldly that he was feeling happy and relieved. He at first thought that Hu De Fu (Kimbo) would be crowned as GMA king because of his unique style of singing. Leehom's first regret. however, after he finished his speech was that he did not thank his mother. When he went off stage the first thing he did was to call his mother. Leehom explained that he and his mother were "Best Homies." He said, "I understand her the most and she understands me the most. Our DNA should be the most alike!"When he ran on stage to accept his award, Leehom became so happy that he kissed Karen's cheek, beautifully wiping away the dark needle inside his heart from last year's embarassment. Actually, he wanted to thank Karen for last year reading Huang Li Xing's name wrong on the list. Because of her, the fast food restaurant Leehom is being a spokeperson for, McDonald's, decided to nickname Leehom as "Huang Lu Hong" as a selling point. Two nights ago during the "Golden Melody Crimes," it pointed out 5 subjects that led to Leehom's embarassment scene last year during the same award. Leehom laughed and cried, "Ella and Selina's round and surprised eyes were absolutely hilarious! By looking at their confused faces, this can explain that I am innocent."He also said the he was thankful that he won an award, if not it would definately be "Zai Shang Kou Shang Sha Yian (Spreading salt on your wound)". Coincidentally, Amei has had a song called "Bia Zai Shang Kou Sha Yian (Don't spread salt on your wound)" and when the reporters began to hum the lyrics of the song, Leehom smiled and quickly said, "No no, it's 'Xue Shang Jia Xuang (Adding ice on snow)'!" He had once again showed his talent of mastering Chinese proverbs.Good friend Blackie (Chen Jian Zhou aka Heiren), Wang Hong En and Tang Zhi Zhong (Jason) all attended to Leehom's celebration after party. Leehom also gave some "exclusive" information to the media, "I collaborated with Wang Hong En in his new CD." Jason also exposed that when they were collaborating, Leehom had played the piano all day and Wang Hong En was still complaining that it did not have enough feelings and emotions to it and he was not quite satisfied.Afterwards, GMA queen Chua Jian Ya (Tanya) also came and congratulated Leehom. When they saw each other they immediately gave each other a warm embrace and kissed each other's cheeks. The media stirred up and told Tanya to immediately teach Leehom how to do the Yoga. The light bulb in her head lit up and she lifted her right leg and placed it on Leehom's left shoulder. Leehom had no choice but to battle drinking with her in an awkward and difficult position. People laughed and joked that once they get home they should not wash their shoulders and feet.

LEEHOM introduces younger brother LEEKAI to Taiwan, Monday June 12, 2006 Taiwan
Many have heard about Leehom's beloved brother, but never seen him. Last Saturday many Leehom fans saw Leekai for the first time.Leehom has always had a close relationship with his younger brother. Before his little brother was born, Leehom would play the Violin for his mother's pregnant stomach. After Leekai's birth, Leehom soon became his baby sitter. He sang for, played with, and taught Leekai. Whenever Leehom was out with friends, he would take Leekai. It was quite an amusing sight to see a teenage Leehom carrying little Leekai alongside. As a result Leekai, holding Leehom's hand, would go with Leehom everywhere from bowling to the movies. Leehom was like a little daddy. When Leehom went to college, Leekai grabbed onto Leehom's legs refusing to let him go and cried for days afterward. Now Leekai is all grown up, he is currently a Junior at America's Prestigious MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). However, the two brothers are still the best of friends. Leekai is currently on summer vacation and he decided to to visit Leehom in Taiwan. As a result, Leehom, having already enough rumors with girls, decided to keep things simple this year and took Leekai along with him to the GMAs.However, despite Leekai being 20 this year, Leehom still has a protective instinct. While walking down the Red Carpet Leehom held Leekai's hands, just as if they were still little kids. Perhaps Leehom was trying to protect Leekai from the hungry and relentless paws of the Taiwanese Paparazzi. Leekai, like Leehom has continued the Wang family's academic success. Leekai, along with Leehom, and LeeDe are all National Merit Scholars. In addition Leekai has a plethora of other awards. Like Leehom, Leekai also sings. He is the director of his acapella group at MIT and is a Baritone voice, the same range that Leehom was in college. When asked if Leekai had plans to enter the Taiwanese music industry at the moment, the answer was, "No." Leekai currently is concentrating on his education on MIT and plans to graduate foremost. Who knows, perhaps after Leekai graduates he may just as well carry on Leehom's legacy. shi jie re bao + www.wangleehom.com
OMG... I searched up "Lee-Kai New York, Leekai Wang" in google and I got these results. Damn..Leekai is like whoa. His academic achievements include- Part of the USA Mathematical Olympiad team- The Vice-Persident of the New York State Junior Classical League- Scored a perfect score on the New York Mathematics League Competition- 2003 Presidential State Scholar. - The "Mens sana in corpore san" award for highest overall achievement at the 2001 New York State Latin Convention- 40 other Latin awards - One of only 24 students across the Nation to to receive 2002 Siemens Awards for advanced placement in college.- National Merit Finalist- United States of America Mathematical Olympiad State qualifier- 3rd place in the state of NY for CONTINENTAL CHESS ASSOCIATION- Second highest math score in New York State on the Johns Hopkins University Talent Search

Talk Asia - Wang Lee Hom
Saturday 10 June, 2006 Taiwan
Submitted by Scarlett
America's cable channel CNN (Talk Asia) recently aired an interview with Taiwan pop star Wang Li Hong (Leehom). Besides talking about some of his ideas and comments about producing music, Leehom also talked about how the media does not respect people's privacy. He stated that the media could even go as far as going online to look through someone's blog and use it as a headline for gossip in a newspaper article. He said that this action is very irresponsible.In this episode of CNN Talk Asia, it first started with a breif background of Leehom growing up and introduced how he stepped onto the road of music and ending up as being one of Asia's top celebrities.Leehom, who produces and writes his own music and participated in several big-budgeted films, also invented a new music style which incorporated ancient Chinese music into modern hip-hop music, and called this new genre "chinked-out."Although Leehom had recorded many English singles, he still believes that there are many new discoveries in Chinese music that he has not experienced and met. He will not be planning to have an English album, at least not at the moment.About the media having no respect for an artist's privacy, Leehom particularly pointed at many journalists, saying that he was very disappointed at the way how they could use the information in online blogs as headlines for a newspaper article.Leehom also exposed that he is currently writing a Chinese musical. He hopes that Asia's pop culture could transform into more than just music.
