Tong Bing Yu (Chinese: 童冰玉; pinyin: Tóng Bīngyù; born 14 June 1983).

Profile

Malaysian artiste Tong Bing Yu’s first encounter with the entertainment industry is when she took part in Malaysia Chinese Cosmos International 2006, in which she won along with two other subtitles (Miss Personality and Miss Perfect Skin). She later went on to represent Malaysia to take part in the finals, competing with regional beauties. She successfully took the Miss Culture Personality title. These titles not only comes as a surprise to her, but also changed her life from then on.

Having a passion in acting, she starts her acting career in 2008. She landed into her first lead role in 2009, her second year in the acting scene. As of today, she has been continuously approached by many productions, both local and overseas, as main leads, and successfully participated in many dramas. Among them, one of her most well-accepted roles is in MediaCorp Singapore’s blockbuster, <The Journey: A Voyage>, a series which recounts the travails of first-generation Chinese immigrants who set foot on the island of Singapore to seek their fortunes and future. This role differs from her previous modern, professional-imaged roles, and to which she successfully got her first nomination as Best Actress in Singapore’s Star Awards 2014.

This is just after a short 6 years in her acting career, and 4 years in the Singapore television scene. In the same year, she won her first awards—Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes in the Star Awards 2014 Singapore and also Most Popular Actress in Malaysia’s Golden Awards, proving her popularity among audiences in both countries. These awards have also made her the first female artiste who achieved both Malaysian and Singaporean awards.

Although she is well acknowledged for her acting skills in the television scene, Tong Bing Yu pushed herself for improvements and in the past few years, when Malaysia’s movie industry blooms, she was invited for her first big screen participation. Her roles in the big screen included a warrior, killer, mischievous night market hawker and many more. Regardless if it is a small or huge production, or if the role is main or side, to her, every acting opportunity is a self-improvement and also a contribution to the Chinese Entertainment industry.

As Malaysian movies are being noticed by the overseas market, in 2013, Tong Bing Yu is honored to be invited to participate in overseas productions, including movies from Hong Kong and Mainland China, namely <Kick Ass Girls>, <Special Female Force> and <League of Legend>. In 2015, she was even invited by Mainland China as the female lead in their very first martial arts short film, to which she also sang the theme song.

Being contributing to charity in low-profile since her pageant period, Tong Bing Yu won her first non-acting awards in November 2014. Her long-term charity contributions are being acknowledged by the “Malaysia’s Top Ten Outstanding Youth” organizers and gained her an award which acknowledges this. This achievement was greatly reported in both Malaysia and Singapore media, showing her status in the entertainment industry of both countries.

In 2015, she won her first global awards, being the Outstanding Female Artiste in the McMillan Woods Global Awards.

All the years as she was working her way silently up in her career, the music grad’s passion in performing can be seen through her spending her leisure time watching movies, dramas or listening to music.

Tong Bing Yu can be described as Malaysia’s whole-rounded artiste, which besides acting, she also gets involves in hosting or singing. She is now in high demand for Malaysian and Singaporean dramas. Her positive and healthy image also causes her to be constantly approached by many brands for ambassadorship or image ambassador. The brands ranged from supplements, skincare products, sports brands, slimming products and many more.

Tong Bing Yu, walking into the 7th year of her entertainment career, is working her way in the international scenes (including a short film in China and movie alongside Leon lai) and achieving new milestones along the way.
