Raymond Lam with brother Rocky Lam and cousin Lin Xiawei. Raymond Lam (林峯) and Karena Ng‘s (吳千語) relationship has been rumored to be met with disapproval from the Lam family since the start. In May 2013, Raymond took Karena to Los Angeles to attend the graduation commencement ceremony of his younger brother, Rocky (林逸洺), at the University of Southern California. It was said that Raymond used this opportunity to introduce Karena to his family. Rocky shared a photo of him with Raymond and cousin Lin Xiawei (林夏薇) on Weibo that day, and netizens quickly logged on to congratulate the 23-year-old. When it was time to take photos with other family and friends, rumors said that Rocky refused to take a photo with Karena. Karena Has Fake Followers? A little while later, Rocky posted a comment on Weibo, “I’m also going to purchase a pile of members and mobile phone accounts to break 10,000 fans!” The media speculated that Rocky’s comment was directed at Karena, who currently has over 6.3 million followers on Weibo. It seemed unbelievable that Karena, who debuted just three years ago and has yet to strike it big in the film industry with a representative work, has such a large following. Reportedly, Karena had purchased a lot of fake mobile accounts to gain “phantom followers” for her Weibo. Karena Stirs Criticism Raymond’s fans were divided about Rocky’s comment. Some, who are against Karena, left comments to support Rocky, praising his humor and bashed Karena. One said, “Her body isn’t as good as Chrissie Chau’s (周秀娜) and she doesn’t have the qualifications to marry into a wealthy family like Guo Jingjing (郭晶晶). All she can do now is just stand around shopping malls. She can’t get popular no matter how hard her company tries to promote her.” Another said, “Obviously she has phantom fans.” Others criticized Karena for dating Raymond only for his money. However, there are also those who supported Karena and criticized Rocky for his narrow-minded behavior. “You’re three years older, a man, and came from a good family background. Be more classy.” Some fans also unfollowed Rocky. A few days ago, Rocky uploaded a new message, saying, “Haven’t been on Weibo in a long time. I supposed I should have over 20,000 fans by now!” Asked if Rocky’s earlier Weibo post mocked Karena, Raymond’s manager Candy said, “I will not respond to such private questions, but I do know that they (Rocky and Karena) are okay with each other.” Karena’s manager Carmen said, “I will not respond to things without factual basis, thank you.” On June 16, Rocky updated a new post, “The Hong Kong media must be helping me gain fans!” Creds: ihktv
