  "account": "Hong Kong - Donnie Yen's daughter, Jasmine Yen, recently revealed her father's secret passion for singing Elvis Presley classics. During an appearance on the Singapore talk show Just Swipe Lah, Jasmine fondly recalled a funny memory of her dad coming to her room when she was 14 or 15 years old, holding a glass of red wine and asking her to teach him how to sing Elvis Presley songs. Despite her famous father's immense international fame, Jasmine insists she feels no pressure to succeed in the music industry. She stated that her father's approval is somewhat quiet, but he still supports her adventurous approach to her image. When asked about the possibility of acting in one of her father's film projects for free, her mother, Cissy Wang, firmly replied, \"Oh, my mum objects, and it's not for free!\"",
