Two of his songs, ‘The World is Big’ ( 世界這樣大 ) and June ( 六月 ) have made it into the finals of receiving a ‘Top 10 Gold Songs Award’. When talking about claiming a top 5 position, Pong says, “I am extremely happy. I have never thought that I could make it into the top 5.

Claiming top 3 position, Fiona said, “I’m happy! Out of the top 5, I am the least experienced. I thank my fans for supporting me. Without them, I would have not made it to the top 5.” There are many newcomers this year, so TVB have decided to have 2 newcomer awards- ‘Best Male and Female Newcomer Award’.
