Hoyan Mok is a Hongkonger actress and beauty pageant titleholder. She won the 1993 Miss Hong Kong Pageant and worked as an actress for TVB in the 1990s. She was president of Wai Yin Association in 2009–2010. Mok is married to Alex Fong Chung-sun who is also a Hong Kong actor.
In the 1993 Miss Hong Kong Pageant, Mok beat Kenix Kwok, who was considered a favourite to win, having won two side awards including Media's Favourite and Potential Artist. As Miss Hong Kong, she also competed at the Miss Universe 1994 pageant. She placed 45th at the pageant, same as her successor Halina Tam. Mok also competed at the Miss Chinese International Pageant 1994 where she made the top 10 only, becoming the first Miss Hong Kong to not place in the top 3.
Mok's victory in Miss Hong Kong caused controversy because local media pundits considered her "ugly" compared to her competitors and past Miss Hong Kong winners. It was widely believed that Run Run Shaw, the media mogul who founded TVB which hosted the pageant, disapproved of her.[1]
She joined TVB as an actress following her Miss Hong Kong victory. Her front-stage career lasted five years, mainly in supporting roles.[2]
Hoyan Mok began dating actor Alex Fong Chung-Sun in 1996. They married in 2008 and gave birth to their daughter later that year.[3]
