  "account": "HONG KONG – Actress Kaman Kong, who departed TVB in 2025 to bolster her social media presence, has become renowned for her ability to respond to online trolls during live streams. According to entertainment portal Dimsum Daily, when faced with hostile remarks in the live chat, Kong delivered swift, resolute replies. A single comment that read, \"I heard you're very snide,\" prompted Kong to retort, \"No need to hear it – your two eyes are watching,\" before breaking into a hearty smile. This exchange quickly caught fire online, garnering praise from netizens and highlighting Kong's skill in countering rude comments directly instead of remaining silent. Apart from silencing disruptive viewers, Kong—who celebrates her 32nd birthday on November 4—offered fans a glimpse into her demanding work routine. She candidly discussed the necessity of continuing to work to cover her rent, emphasizing that she cannot depend on her parents for financial assistance. Since leaving TVB, Kong has taken full charge of her career and contracts, granting her the liberty to pursue diverse opportunities beyond television. In a prior interview, Kong revealed her aspiration to break free from her comfort zone and experiment with various projects, including stage musicals, even if the compensation is modest.",
