KUALA LUMPUR: Cantopop stars Charlene Choi, 42, and Gillian Chung, 43, recently marked a milestone by performing their 100th show as the musical duo Twins in Singapore on Dec 28.
8 Days reported that this was part of their Twins Spirit Live Around The World tour, which marks their 24th anniversary as a pop duo.
However, some netizens seemed more focused on Chung's physical appearance and Dimsum Daily reported that many of them commented that she looked "rounder" now.
Other netizens also commented on Chung's energy levels during the show, claiming she appeared less enthusiastic compared to Choi.
Choi soon came to the defence of her bandmate, and said that as long as Chung was happy and healthy, that was what truly matters.
Chung acknowledged the challenges of their year-long tour and expressed her eagerness for a well-deserved break.
"I really need to take a proper holiday, I need to rest and rejuvenate," said Chung.
The Twins Spirit Live Around The World tour kicked off in Hong Kong in January 2023 and has since taken the duo to Shanghai, Beijing, Vancouver, Las Vegas and London.
While Chung appeared fit at the start of the tour, rumours about her weight gain and lack of energy began circulating after the group's stop in Macau in September and subsequent shows in China in October.
