On January 22, 2025, news hit Hong Kong that Rachel Chung, known as “Wuso,” has publicly acknowledged her relationship as a mistress to Patrick Ma, the chairman of Tai Sang Bank. This revelation stirred up conversations, especially during a recent web radio show hosted by Carlo Ng Ka Lok, where commentator Johnny Dang Siu-Juen shared his thoughts on the situation.
Johnny used a car metaphor to describe Rachel’s circumstances. He posed an intriguing question: “How many surgeries can one woman have? Usually, it’s two, and a third only if necessary. Yet she has five children.” Starting her social life in high society at just 18, he wondered how if her ‘body’ could withstand the pressures of such a life. He compared a woman who has had five children and undergone many experiences to a car that has changed hands multiple times, implying it shows signs of wear and tear.
Despite efforts to maintain oneself, Johnny suggested that just like cars, people also show signs of aging over time. He described Rachel as an “old car,” raising concerns about why someone would stick with the same vehicle, especially when wealth allows for choices. He implied Rachel’s sudden rise to fame might be linked to financial difficulties, saying, “She used to spend HK$100,000 monthly but is now struggling with just HK$20,000. That kind of pressure leads to desperate measures.” Johnny believed that her misstep was in choosing the wrong advisors, leading to her current challenges.
Both Johnny and Carlo agreed that Rachel’s advisors have contributed to her messy situation. Johnny speculated that Rachel might be trying to boost her worth now that it seemed she would be left behind by her wealthy partner, Patrick Ma. He stated, “My ‘car’ is still valuable and won’t drop in price. I’m not interested in anything less than HK$200,000.” They estimated Rachel’s “dining price” at anywhere between HK$30,000 to HK$100,000, with Carlo noting she claimed to charge HK$1 million for a single event. Additionally, Johnny mentioned that her luxury outings, including yacht parties, would be around HK$30,000 per person.
He criticized Rachel’s extravagant claims, urging her to be more realistic. He challenged her assertion about owning a high-priced watch, finding no evidence of it online and questioning the existence of a car she mentioned being worth over ten billion. Carlo added his skepticism, stating he had never seen such cars, even at upscale auctions, suggesting that Rachel might need to align her perceptions with reality.
