Through his role as Jo Bao in "Moonlight Resonance", Ha Yu is able to compete for TV King this year with full confidence. He says: As a person, you should always be competitive in order to be able to move forward. Presently, he is a hot favorite for TV King, with votes from the netizens surpassing Raymond Lam's votes. Does this mean he has full confidence? Ha Yu replies: I'm always full of confidence. Of course I would want to win, but there is no certainty. Seeing the netizens support me is just like half-winning to me already. But really, in this world there are many sudden changes. Last year, I was known to have one of the highest chances as well, but failed in the end. As for this year, it seems like my chances are higher. If I still lose, then it's not related to whether I did a good job or not, but related to the methods and qualifications of voting, and by that I would fee more relaxed. Disappointment is inevitable, but I still have to continue to live on, and continue acting. He jokingly said: Now everyone believes I will win for sure, congratulating me already. It's so awkward. In response, I said: Don't talk like that, maybe it's not going to be me! In the end,if I'm not chosen, then it'd be a let down.

Did Not Try To Step On Top Of Raymond Lam

Not even knowing who will win and who will lose yet, a lot of rumors and gossip are already spreading. Ha Yu doesn't know whether he should be mad or laugh at one rumor which stated that he was the one who pointed out that Raymond Lam played games and was always late. In response, he said: Before, I never said anything about Raymond playing games. It's was after reports came out, and I was asked for a response. I said that this is already in the newspapers. Yes he does play games. The they asked me if he was ever late. I answered that sometimes he is late. In fact, everyone's been late. I've been late before as well. Raymond playing games and being late has never affected work. Who would've thought that right after, they made up a report saying "Ha Yu Pointed Out That Raymond Lam Played Games", making people think that I'm trying to step on top of him. Presently, there are rumors of competition, but really, it's really not for me to compete in. But if there aren't rumors of competition, then the atmosphere wouldn't be so lively, and it wouldn't be exciting to watch.

Recently Ha Yu is always joking around, saying: Competition is tight, only missing your vote. On the night of the awards ceremony when they announce the winner, how will he "act out" his reaction? Laughing, he says: I'll try my best to act cool lah! No matter if I win or lose, I'll pretend nothing happened. What, should I act like I'm very nervous, and full of anticipation, and have a big smile on my face for everyone too see? But if I'm expressionless, then it might cause people to say I'm black-faced. This is very hard.

Since last year "Heart of Greed"'s "Dai Bao" up until "Moonlight Resonance"'s "Jo Bao", Ha Yu's acting abilities have been widely accepted by the audience. Ha Yu says: Comparing the two characters, acting out "Jo Bao" was harder, and I liked "Dai Bao" more. With "Dai Bao", there was an aspect of comedy added to it. The role was loved by the audience. Maybe it was because that character didn't hurt anyone. As for "Jo Bao", he was less comedic. The type of cold character who has made mistakes but won't admit to it. That role had more depth.

Lost Half Of His Savings

"Moonlight Resonance" beat the ratings record with 50 points. Loved by the audience, it would probably be the biggest winner at the awards ceremony. Other than then awards that Ha Yu anticipates, there is also the chance to make more money due to its popularity. As of now there are many job for us. During Christmas Louise Lee, Raymond Lam, Linda Chung, and I will be going to USA and Canada for preformances, as well as other jobs. Currently I need to work hard on earning money, especially since after the falling of stocks, I've lost half of my savings. All I can do is hope for stocks to rise once again. My mood is quite bad right now. If I can get the award to give me good luck, that's not bad either ha ha!

Supports Michelle Yim To Become TV Queen

As for TV Queen, Ha Yu believes that Louise Lee, Michelle Yim, and Susanna Kwan are capable. But being in a similar situation, since Louise Lee won last year, they should give a chance to Michelle and Susanna. If I had to choose between the two, I would choose Michelle. Although she didn't have many scenes, the audience were always saying that Michelle is very evil. In one of the last scenes where Linda Chung went against her, she received many praises from the audience for her acting abilities.
