Andrew Hui Chi On (born 12 August 1967) is a prominent Hong Kong vocalist and actor, widely regarded as one of the top-selling artists in the area with numerous hits in both Cantonese and Mandarin.

Early life

Hui's maternal heritage is Vietnamese. After encountering difficulties adapting to right-hand use at his initial school, he transferred to Confucian Tai Shing Primary School.

Career

In 1986, Hui secured the position of first runner-up at the fifth Annual New Talent Singing Awards. That same year marked the beginning of his music career alongside his participation in over 25 films. His career reached its zenith in 2001 when he earned several awards for favorite male singer.

By 2004, Alan Tam had included Hui among the 'New Four Heavenly Kings,' grouping him with Hacken Lee, Leo Ku, and Edmond Leung as successors to Hong Kong pop's original 'Four Heavenly Kings.'

October 2005 saw Hui recognized as one of the Ten Outstanding Young Persons, honoring his accomplishments in music, cinema, and community service.

Personal life

In 2013, Hui married fellow singer and actress Sammi Cheng, although they never officially registered their marriage.

A scandal emerged in April 2019 when a video was leaked showing Hui in a compromising situation with former HK Pageant contestant and TVB actress Jacqueline Wong. Hui issued a public apology, attributing the incident to intoxication while accepting full responsibility. Although this controversy negatively impacted Wong's career, Hui was able to restore his professional reputation and sustain his marriage.
