Hong Huifang's International Breakthrough: A Journey of Success

Hong Huifang, a renowned actress in Singapore, has seen her career soar to new heights following her breakout role in the 2022 film Ajoomma. This Singaporean-South Korean production brought international recognition to the actress, earning her a nomination for the prestigious Golden Horse Best Actress award.

The success of Ajoomma has solidified Hong Huifang's status as a prominent actress, not just in Singapore, but also on the international stage. Since her nomination, she has been actively taking on diverse roles across multiple local and international productions, making her one of Singapore’s most prolific actresses.

One of her notable roles post-Ajoomma includes her appearance in the Taiwanese drama Breeze By The Sea, the Malaysian Chinese New Year film Blooms Of Happiness, the Singapore–Thailand co-produced crime thriller series Decalcomania, and the SG60 project film Kopitiam Days. She has also been a part of seven local and overseas films, dramas, and web series within a year.

Hong's career growth didn't stop there. In February 2023, she signed with Catwalk Taiwan, a prominent Taiwanese talent agency, joining the ranks of notable actors such as four-time Golden Bell Best Actor Christopher Lee.

Her latest project, the co-production mystery thriller series Decalcomania, filmed in Singapore and Bangkok, is scheduled for release in late 2025. This series involves a complex story of two women swapping bodies and features an international cast.

Hong finds her age an advantage for scoring roles, showing a willingness to portray characters in their 70s or 80s. This broadens her acting range and appeal in markets like Taiwan. She describes the recent years since Ajoomma as the peak and most fulfilling period of her career.

In summary, Hong Huifang's career has expanded internationally and diversified following Ajoomma, earning critical acclaim and engaging in significant cross-border projects in film and television. Her emotive performance in Ajoomma catapulted her to international fame, solidifying her status as a prominent actress in the industry.
