Jay Fung Performs at the Parade Ring for the First Time, Serving as an Ambassador for 'Fashion Day' and Embodiment of a True Gentleman

Jay Fung is not only the ambassador for 'Fashion Day' but also the first-ever opening performance guest for the event. On 25 January, he will serenade the audience at the Parade Ring. Having just won the gold prize for Best Male Singer at the 2025 music awards, Jay Fung's talent and popularity are undeniable. He shared that performing at the Parade Ring has always been one of his dreams, expressing: 'I often see singers performing at the Parade Ring on social media, and the atmosphere is always electrifying. I used to wonder if I would ever have the chance to sing there myself.' He hopes that his performance will bring positive energy to the audience.

Beyond his performance, Jay Fung, who has always exuded a graceful and debonair aura, is now the ambassador for 'Fashion Day' for the first time. He will also be one of the judges for the 'Best Dressed Award', selecting participants with the most thoughtful outfits and presenting them with their prizes. In Jay Fung's opinion, a modern gentleman not only pays attention to his appearance and taste but also values his inner cultivation. He believes that 'a true gentleman should possess manners and courtesy and know how to take care of the people around him.' According to his colleagues, Jay Fung naturally embodies gentlemanly qualities in his daily life, always offering to help with heavy objects, giving way, or holding the door for others. His gentle tone of voice and polite demeanor effortlessly attract others to his calm and steady charm, successfully shaping his image as the 'Gentleman of the Music Industry'. His participation as an ambassador for this event perfectly resonates with the theme of 'Racing with Style'.

Fueled by Passion and Perseverance in Music, Jay Fung's Song 'Keep On, Fight On' Encourages Us to Keep Moving Forward

Horse racing is not just about speed, strength, and courage; it also emphasizes the perseverance of both jockeys and horses. Jay Fung believes that these qualities are equally applicable to a music career. He emphasizes the importance of perseverance, stating: 'It's crucial to stay passionate and dedicated because success in music doesn't come overnight. But if you keep the fire burning, treat it seriously, and work hard, your efforts will eventually pay off.' He further echoes the spirit of horse racing through his self-composed and sung song, 'Keep On, Fight On', which showcases the power to keep moving forward. He humorously adds, 'This song would make a great theme song or horse name for 'Fashion Day.' Just as horse racing has its unique rhythm, music is also about rhythm. When others feel the beat of the music, Jay Fung hopes that his creations will infect others with their rhythmic energy.
