He said: "We already chatted a lot at Toby's wedding, we are friends, no awkwardness." Charmaine also said they chatted a lot at Toby's wedding: "He got TV King, I immediately went to congratulate him. I'm very happy for him! I have supported him all along, we have always been friends." She said she learned of Kevin's accident yesterday morning: "Relax, he's so lucky. He'll definitely be fine!" Kevin said he received many phone calls after the accident, he thanked everyone's concern.
The candidates for the Asia TV Awards comes from Mainland, Taiwan, Korea and Japan, all are very strong opponents. Kevin smiled and expressed he hopes to win the award and told reporters to be mindful of the results. When speaking of the Ghetto Justice film version, Kevin had been on a tight schedule and therefore the film could not start. He expressed he is not sure, and will have to ask director Tong Kei Ming to find out. It was said the tides has changed for Kevin after he won TV King? He said: "Cannot be said that way, OK la! I'm just making a living, nothing that spectacular. I am very satisfied with my current salary, but its not any special raise. If I get any more raises, no one will give me jobs. Awards is just a type of encouragement, just a recognition. Every artist hopes to get one."
