She expressed a desire to document ordinary moments streets she has walked, daily routines, and small ways to find peace during emotional ups and downs emphasizing that these simple, even slightly troublesome moments form her truest self.
Further fueling comeback rumors, netizens discovered a Weibo account named “Joey Wong Studio,” believed to be managed by a team representing the actress. The account described itself as a bridge for Wong to share her personal life with those who continue to remember and support her. This discovery intensified speculation that the veteran star may be laying the groundwork for a return to showbiz.
Online chatter has even suggested that Joey Wong could appear on a reality program such as Back to Idol, based on rumors that production staff traveled to Canada earlier this year to personally invite her with a generous offer.
