A woman like \u201cMadam Kuen\u201d is someone you probably have in your circle of friends. She\u2019s straightforward, confident, unafraid to speak her mind, her laughter often heard before she\u2019s seen, and she knows how to create a lively atmosphere while maintaining a respectful sense of boundaries. She\u2019s everyone\u2019s friend, and everyone wants to be hers. People call her \u201cMadam Kuen\u201d because it rolls off the tongue easily and because she exudes the aura of a big sister. However, when introducing herself, she often insists, \u201cI\u2019m 34 years young. Please don\u2019t call me Madam Kuen anymore, just Kuen-Kuen or even Little Kuen will do.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ViuTV\u2019s Launch and Her Career<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some refer to her as ViuTV\u2019s \u201cleading lady\u201d, and rightfully so, she\u2019s been with the channel since its inception. Her big-hearted, chatty personality has earned her numerous hosting opportunities, which she embraces with enthusiasm. \u201cHosting isn\u2019t just about enjoying conversation, it involves mastering the art of pacing. When guests feel comfortable and trust you, they naturally open up more.\u201d<\/strong> On camera, she doesn\u2019t need to be the center of attention, instead, she thrives on meaningful exchanges with others. Her skill in doing so doesn\u2019t go unnoticed by the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Most Capable “Vase”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before going on stage once, Kuen was asked to promote herself using a slogan, putting everyone\u2019s quick wit to the test. Kuen has always understood her unique selling point, her personality. She remarked that promoting her appearance would reduce her to a \u201cvase\u201d, but the term \u201cvase\u201d alone seemed unfair to her. \u201cBig vase\u201d felt more fitting, at least matching her stature and presence. So she confidently stepped out and declared, \u201cHello! I\u2019m Florica Lin, and my goal this year is to be the most capable big vase!\u201d<\/strong> When it comes to being capable or idolized, she wants it all. \u201cMaybe I won\u2019t score 100 points, but 80 points on each side is pretty good.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for capability, she continues to grow in her roles as a host and actress. As the saying goes, \u201cThe sea of learning knows no bounds,\u201d<\/strong> combining talent, hard work, and a touch of luck. Regarding her appearance, her confidence is her charm. \u201cLook closely, whether taken individually or together, my features are actually quite attractive. I think my upper body looks quite good, don\u2019t you agree?\u201d<\/strong> Indeed, you are unique. \u201cI can proudly say, I\u2019m captivating.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The World Demands You to Strive for Success, But Sincerity is the Greatest Skill<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the entertainment industry, survival requires some savvy. From an outsider\u2019s perspective, Florica\u2019s journey over the past 6-7 years appears smooth. Initially, she boldly left a stable job to enter the industry, but there are no guarantees of success here. \u201cIf I have a secret weapon, it\u2019s probably my personality\u2014approachable and relatable.\u201d<\/strong> She believes that a female artist doesn\u2019t need to be excessively gentle and sweet, being straightforward can be just as endearing. She admires Serrini\u2019s authenticity and courage to express herself. Kuen believes that artists have a social responsibility, to be true to themselves and then build a unique style. As a host, she avoids being overly enthusiastic or fawning and doesn\u2019t force conversation. For her, sincerity is key. Florica considers herself fortunate to have encountered helpful mentors, but I believe it\u2019s the law of attraction at work. She connects with everyone and has a natural rapport with both guests and viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becoming the Iconic Kuen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Throughout her career, some have suggested she lose weight, while others have suggested she gain weight to \u201cbecome the iconic Kuen\u201d, avoiding her current in-between figure. \u201cWhy should I follow that? If I want to indulge and gain weight, I will, if I want to slim down, I\u2019ll manage my weight accordingly. I don\u2019t like others controlling or influencing my decisions.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her last name is Lin, a unique surname; she\u2019s of mixed heritage and a native-born Hong Kong actress. A woman like her is truly one of a kind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
