The artist, who has been a vocal supporter of Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement, reportedly felt frustrated by the situation, though she has not detailed the specific reasons for the alleged rejection. rti.org.tw notes this is her first new album in 13 years.
Ho also questioned Hong Kong politician Henry Fok’s son, Timothy Fok, on social media, asking, “可以去哪裡溝通” – “Where can we communicate?” according to 獨立媒體.
The release comes as TikTok Shop recently launched in Spain on December 9th, marking its second European location and the first on the European mainland, LINE TODAY reported.
Ho’s situation highlights the ongoing complexities faced by artists who engage in political activism and the challenges of navigating the entertainment industry in a shifting geopolitical landscape. The new album marks a significant moment in her career, despite the reported obstacles to its promotion.
