Actress LIN Min Chen made her debut in 2017 in “Vampire Cleanup Department” and has been active in the Hong Kong film and television industry since then. In the past two years, her outstanding performances in “One Second Champion” and “Table for Six” have been well received by the public audience. In view of this, the Academy specially invited Min Chen to be this year’s Youth Ambassador, to join hands with us to promote Asian films and conduct a series of diverse activities, including dialogues with movie fans and university students and interactive workshops with vulnerable groups.

At the press conference earlier, Ms. Josie LIN, the executive director of Asian Film Awards Academy, mentioned, “Being an emerging artist in Hong Kong, LIN Min Chen has a positive influence on young people in Asia. The academy entrusts her with this great responsibility as our Youth Ambassador and hopes she will bring Asian films and the Asian Film Awards to a wider audience.” And Min Chen was delighted to start her new role, “In upcoming activities, I will not only be able to have conversations with movie fans and university students, but also promote Asia Films as an industry representative. I look forward to my future career in the film industry.” Min Chen hopes to set a good example for Hong Kong youth and contribute to Asian films.
