Former actor Ian Fang jailed 40 months for sexual offences against minor

A gag order on Ian Fang's identity was lifted after an application by the prosecution.

SINGAPORE: Former actor Ian Fang was sentenced to 40 months' jail on Monday (May 19) after pleading guilty to sexual offences involving a minor.
 

The 35-year-old's identity was made public on Monday after a gag order was lifted. 

 

Fang, whose registered name is Fang Wei Jie, pleaded guilty to three charges of sexual penetration of a girl under 16. Three similar charges were taken into consideration for sentencing, along with one count of obstructing justice and one count of stalking.
 

A gag order remains on the identity of the victim, who was 15 at the time of the offences in 2024. Fang was 34 when the pair met at an entertainment event.
 

The prosecution, represented by Deputy Public Prosecutor Lynda Lee, applied to have the gag order on Fang's identity lifted on Monday. The girl stated in her victim impact statement that she was now "emotionally stronger" and was willing to bear the risk of being eventually identified.

 

Fang's lawyer Noelle Teoh objected to lifting the gag order, arguing that the victim could be identified as a result. Ms Teoh said that at least 30 people have seen Fang and the victim socially at events, adding that no one can guarantee how being identified will impact the victim.
 

Noting the defence's concerns, the prosecution replied that it had taken steps to remove identifying details from court documents.

 

District Judge Eddy Tham said the courts needed to tread a balance between protecting victims and the need for open, transparent justice.
 

He noted the wishes of the victim and her family in this case and issued a fresh gag order, which excluded Fang's name.
 

Fang was a full-time actor with Mediacorp for 12 years until he left the media company in 2023. Born in Shanghai and educated in Singapore, Fang is a Singapore permanent resident.

OFFENCES

At the time of the offences, Fang was an acting teacher with a child modelling school which provides classes for students aged four to 14.

 

Fang met the victim at an entertainment event in May 2024, according to court documents. They exchanged contact details and chatted nearly every day.
 

In June 2024, Fang engaged in mostly unprotected sexual acts with the victim on nine occasions. He knew that the victim was only 15.

On Jun 6, the victim's mother checked her into a hotel as the victim had contracted COVID-19.
 

That night, Fang visited her in her hotel room, where they had sex. By then, she had started seeing Fang as a boyfriend, but he told her to keep mum about their relationship.

 

On Jun 12, the victim left the hotel room to meet Fang, who asked to see her. At about 12am on Jun 13, the pair went to Fang's home where they engaged in unprotected sex. She returned to the hotel room later that morning.
 

The court heard that the victim's mother would check in on her daughter at the hotel room at about 12pm.

 

"When the victim arrived at her hotel room at about 10am, the accused texted her to chat with her.
 

"During the chat, he had asked if she was 'safe', which meant whether she managed to evade (her mother's) detection given that she left the hotel room earlier," the prosecution told the court.
 

On Jun 17, the victim was admitted to a hospital for a flu infection and was staying in a private room. Her mother was with her but left for home later on.
 

At around midnight, after ensuring that the victim was alone, Fang visited her and the two had unprotected sex.
 

The victim's mother eventually found out about the sexual encounters and forbade the girl from contacting him. The mother called the police on Aug 3.
 

Fang was arrested on Aug 4 and released on bail the next day.

IMPACT ON VICTIM

By then, the victim was feeling depressed and had been crying every day.
 

Despite instructions from an investigation officer not to contact the victim, Fang reached out to the victim through social media. He told her that he could not be the one contacting her, but that she would have to contact him instead.
 

"The victim who still had feelings for the accused obliged and called him," Ms Lee said.
 

"During their phone conversations, the accused kept talking about how he would commit suicide if he went to jail.

 

"The accused also asked the victim to cry before (her mother) and tell her that she did not want him to go to jail and not to press charges against him."

This made the victim feel worse and she started having suicidal thoughts. She was admitted into the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) from Aug 23 to Aug 28, 2024 and diagnosed with adjustment disorder with depressed mood.

 

While the victim decided to cease contact with Fang, he continued to harass her by contacting her multiple times.
 

On Sep 22, 2024, Fang called the victim 18 times and sent her a WhatsApp message referring to the victim's close friend. That same month, Fang logged into the victim’s virtual room in a karaoke application.

SENTENCING ARGUMENTS

Submitting for a jail term of 36 to 40 months, Ms Lee cited a high degree of exploitation by Fang and the "significant psychological and emotional harm" suffered by the victim.
 

In her victim impact statement, the girl described feeling very dependent on the accused emotionally, including how she felt that the only way to keep him close to her was through sex.
 

"After the offences were discovered, she had daily crying bouts. Arising from her high dependence on the accused, she resumed contact with him," said Ms Lee.

 

"Instead of finding support, she found herself at the receiving end of the accused’s anxiety about the police investigations, and his pleas to her to persuade her mother to withdraw the case against him."
 

The impact statement also stated a marked change in the victim, who has lost her confidence and expressed a fear of middle-aged men.
 

"It bears noting that, notwithstanding the outcome of this case, the victim will continue to live with the knowledge that her very first sexual encounter was one that was wrong and ended with criminal proceedings," said Ms Lee.

 

Ms Teoh, the defence lawyer, sought no more than 32 months' jail for Fang, whom she said apologised to the victim, her family and those who looked up to him.
 

The lawyer said Fang had been in a romantic relationship with the victim.
 

"He met the victim through a mutual friend, and their relationship had developed naturally over time. They bonded over shared interests and similar life experiences, (which led) to a genuine relationship between them where the victim had regarded the accused as her boyfriend," said Ms Teoh, who sought to differentiate the case from precedents.

 

She said Fang had only intended to support the victim as he had a "natural tendency" to help those around him.
 

Ms Teoh disagreed with the prosecution's argument that there was a high degree of exploitation in his case, as court documents did not state that Fang had pressured the victim and there was no coercion involved.
 

"While the accused did meet the victim at private locations, often during late hours and had asked her to keep their relationship a secret, this was not done with malicious intent but rather out of a desire to maintain discretion and privacy," said Ms Teoh, highlighting Fang's profile as a media personality as his reason for wanting to avoid unwanted attention.

 

Judge Tham, noting Fang's age at the time of the offences, said he had known what he was doing and what was likely to happen each time he visited the victim.
 

It was not a one-off incident where Fang acted on the spur of the moment, Judge Tham said. Instead, Fang had "taken advantage" of the victim's naivety and emotional vulnerability, he said.

 

The judge added that Fang's attempt to "gaslight the victim" for the sole purpose of "saving his own neck" was egregious.
 

Fang had not cared for the victim's welfare and had breached the investigation officer's instructions not to contact the victim, the judge said.
 

He allowed Fang to defer his jail term to Jun 16 to settle his personal affairs after increasing his bail by S$10,000 (US$7,700).
 

Fang made his show business debut in 2011 and shot to fame with the youth-themed drama On The Fringe.
 

He won Mediacorp’s Star Award for Best Newcomer in 2013 and went on to play leading roles in dramas like Served HOT (2014) and Tiger Mum (2015).
 

After completing his contract with Mediacorp, Fang became an independent creator and expanded his career into music, entrepreneurship and content creation, according to the defence. He has since put most of his projects on hold due to the court case.

Ian Fang says he takes responsibility, asks for another chance as he surrenders for jail term

The former actor also said that his sexual offences involving a 15-year-old girl were "an expensive and very huge mistake".

SINGAPORE: Former actor Ian Fang apologised and said he was taking responsibility for his sexual offences involving a teenage girl before surrendering in court to start his jail sentence on Monday (Jun 16).

 

The 35-year-old was speaking to reporters outside the State Courts. He will serve a 40-month jail term after pleading guilty to three counts of sexual penetration of a minor.

 

Fang also admitted to harassing the victim by contacting her multiple times while he was under investigation, and asking her to cry before her mother and say she did not want him to go to jail.

 

The victim was 15 years old at the time of Fang's offences in 2024.

 

On Monday, he said in Mandarin: "When you make a mistake, you have to take responsibility. I'm here now to accept the punishment and legal consequences that I deserve. Of course, I also hope that everyone can give me a chance to be reborn, to start over."

 

Fang then bowed.

In his only comments in English, he said: "I think I definitely will try my best to be a better person, be a better version (of) myself.

 

"At the same time, this is something that I need to pay. It's an expensive and very huge mistake that I need to pay it off. But I believe it will definitely make me an even better person."

 

"And I really hope that everyone could give me a chance to let me show you guys that I can be the person that you guys want me to be," he said, before apologising and bowing again.

 

When asked what he had to say to the victim, Fang said: "I am sorry. Everyone has been hurt."

 

He added: "I believe that if I do something wrong, I have to accept it. So now, I'm just getting my mindset and emotions right to accept the punishment I deserve."

 

Fang was accompanied by his mother, who chimed in at times to prompt him in his comments to reporters. He said his mother had stayed by his side during this period, and that he felt sorry for her.

 

"I also hope that I can continue to be a filial son after I have a chance to be reborn," Fang said, adding that his mother had endured a lot during this period.

 

On reports of the victim's parents saying they would sue him, Fang said that some reports were "not true" and expressed hope that they could be clarified.

 

He also addressed his supporters, acknowledging that some saw him as a "role model or idol" and saying that he hoped to show everyone he could learn from his mistakes.

Actor-artist Chen Xi marries Japanese girlfriend in Singapore

Chen Xi posted wedding photos with his Japanese wife Mami on social media on July 14.

SINGAPORE – Home-grown actor-artist Chen Xi tied the knot with his Japanese non-celebrity girlfriend on July 14.

 

The son of local celebrity couple Edmund Chen and Xiang Yun posted on social media wedding photos with his wife, who is known only as Mami and is one year younger than him. Chen Xi, 34, had posted a snap of himself and her back view when he announced their engagement in May 2024.

 

“We decided, not a full-blown wedding ceremony in Singapore, but a small and heartfelt solemnisation with our closest family,” he wrote.

 

“We chose to keep things simple, sincere and true to us, and what better space than a charming Peranakan shophouse at Little Social, which also reflects a small dream Mami and I share for the future.”

 

He thanked his parents for their quiet sacrifices and for being his anchor. He also thanked his sister, actress Chen Yixin, 25, for helping out with the wedding.

 

“To my new Japanese side of the family, thank you for making the long journey here, even with little ones in tow,” he wrote. “Your presence truly means the world to us.”

 

Xiang Yun, 63, commented in Chinese under the post: “May you respect and love each other, and spend your lives together in happiness.”

 

Mami, who also goes by the nickname Mimi, also posted on social media wedding photos with Chen Xi, writing: “Registered our marriage. Blessed to be part of the family.”

 

Xiang Yun commented in Japanese under her post: “My new daughter, we are so happy to have you in our family.”

 

Chen Xi completed a master’s degree in arts and cultural management at King’s College London in England in January.

 

In an interview with Lianhe Zaobao in May 2024, he said he met Mami in 2020 through an online language exchange course. He told the Chinese-language newspaper then that they would hold a traditional Japanese wedding in her home town of Kyushu.

Chen Xi & Japanese Fiancée Hold Low-Key Wedding Ceremony In A Peranakan Shophouse

The 34-year-old son of Xiang Yun and Edmund Chen say he and his new bride chose to keep things simple, sincere, true to who they are.

 

While some couples enjoy throwing extravagant banquets to celebrate their big day, some prefer to be as low-key as possible.

 

Yesterday, ex-Mediacorp actor Chen Xi shared on Instagram that he has married his Japanese fiancée Mimi. In a previous interview with 8days.sg, Chen Xi said Mimi works in IT, and is “slightly younger” than he is.

 

"We decided not [to have] a full-blown wedding ceremony in Singapore, but a small and heartfelt solemnisation with our closest family," wrote the 34-year-old in his caption.

 

Choosing to keep things "simple, sincere, and true to [who they are]", the couple held their tea ceremony in a Peranakan shophouse in Bendemeer. "[It] reflects a small dream Mimi and I share for the future," added Chen Xi.

 

The actor also shared a few photos of him and his bride Mimi, together with their families, marking the first time Mimi's face is revealed to the public.

 

It goes without saying that Chen Xi's parents — Xiang Yun and Edmund Chen — are over the moon.

 

Edmund posted about the big day on his socials even before the groom himself.

 

In an Instagram Story, Chen Xi and Mimi were serving tea to Edmund and Xiang Yun, the latter could be heard saying: "Mum wishes you utmost happiness and eternal love".

 

Chen Xi later revealed in his post that Mimi's family flew in from Japan to attend the ceremony. The actor previously shared that they plan to hold another wedding in a temple in Kyushu, where Mimi is from.

 

When 8days.sg spoke to Chen Xi about his engagement last year, he told us that he and Mimi got to know each other through an online language-exchange app in 2020.

 

They met when Chen Xi was still in Singapore and before he moved to the UK to study arts management in 2023. At that time, Chen Xi thought things wouldn't work out after he moves abroad.

 

Mimi managed to get a visa to work in England and was able to find a job in the UK thanks to the remote nature of her work. She then moved there with Chen XI, where their relationship blossomed.

 

Last May, he proposed to her when they were visiting a 17th-century manor in Northern England. They moved back to Singapore in March this year.

 

The newest member of the Chen family

 

 

Congrats Mr and Mrs Chen!

Former actor Edmund Chen gets jail and driving ban over collision that left motorcyclist with fractures

Chen braked abruptly when he tried to move to another lane on the expressway, resulting in the motorcycle colliding with the rear of Chen's car.

SINGAPORE: Former local actor Edmund Chen was sentenced to five days' jail and banned from driving for five years on Thursday (Jan 29) for slowing down abruptly on an expressway such that a motorcyclist collided with him and sustained fractures.

 

The judge imposed a jail term, saying he did not agree with the fine called for by both the prosecution and defence. Chen appeared solemn in the dock when he heard the sentence.

 

The judge said there was a "high degree of carelessness" and a sustained period of inattention in Chen's actions, and that he was "deliberately cavalier about certain mitigable risks".

 

Chen, named in court papers as Tan Kai Yuan, pleaded guilty to one count of driving a vehicle without reasonable consideration for other road users, resulting in grievous hurt.

 

The court heard that Chen, a 63-year-old Singaporean, was driving along Ayer Rajah Expressway towards the direction of Central Expressway at about noon on Mar 4, 2025.

 

He was on lane 4 of the four-lane road as he approached a split in the road where two lanes led to Keppel Road and the other two towards the CTE-Seletar Expressway (SLE).

 

Chen had intended to drive towards CTE-SLE via lanes 1 and 2, but did not move into the correct lanes ahead of time. By the time he realised this, he was already headed towards the split road leading to Keppel Road.

 

Chen tried to enter the second lane by braking abruptly such that his car slowed down and almost came to a complete stop.

 

The victim, a 21-year-old motorcyclist, was in the fourth lane behind Chen. He was unable to swerve to avoid Chen's car and collided with the rear left portion of the vehicle.

 

When the collision occurred, Chen was filtering across the third lane and across the white chevron markings, which is a breach of traffic regulations. After the accident, he stopped his car and helped the victim, who was taken to hospital.

 

The prosecution played footage of the incident from the rear of Chen's car and from his in-car camera, which captured him uttering to himself when the sound of the collision was heard.

As a result of the accident, the motorcyclist's front headlamp was dislodged and cracked, and the right side of his motorcycle was also scratched.

 

The victim sustained multiple fractures in his right hand and wrist and underwent surgery. He was given 99 days' hospitalisation leave but suffered no permanent injury.

 

Chen appeared in court flanked by his lawyers, Mr Josephus Tan and Mr Cory Wong from Invictus Law. He greeted reporters on the steps outside the State Courts and put on glasses to read his court documents.

 

He was allowed to sit while the prosecution and defence put forth their sentencing arguments.

 

SENTENCING ARGUMENTS

Chen's lawyers sought not more than a S$3,000 fine and not more than five years' disqualification from driving.

Mr Tan said Chen had signalled his intention early on to switch from the left to the right lane and he was not speeding.

 

The lawyer added that Chen had a "momentary lapse of judgment" but he stopped his vehicle and "did the necessary".

 

He also gave his fullest cooperation to the authorities and wanted to plead guilty on the spot when he was first charged, said Mr Tan.

He added that Chen's last driving conviction was "way back" in October 2013.

 

He said Chen has had to face the court of public opinion and has lost many opportunities such as projects since he was charged.

 

"He has suffered quite a bit of a backlash from the last hearing till now," said Mr Tan.

 

District Judge Shawn Ho repeatedly questioned Mr Tan about his submission that Chen had only a momentary lapse of judgment.

 

He questioned how the series of events could be characterised that way if it involved an abrupt slowing down, allowing a car to pass, then filtering sharply across.

 

Mr Tan pointed to the video footage and said that while it may seem that way on paper, the video showed that everything happened in seconds.

 

Deputy Public Prosecutor Stephen Yeo sought a fine of S$3,000 to S$5,000 for Chen, along with five years' disqualification from driving.

 

He noted that the victim did suffer grievous hurt in terms of the fractures and the hurt caused was not as "muted" as the defence said.

 

After deliberating for more than half an hour, Judge Ho said he disagreed with both sides on the fine they were asking for.

 

He said Chen had flouted traffic rules by changing lanes across chevron markings. There was a high degree of carelessness, and his actions showed a "sustained period of inattention", with Chen being "deliberately cavalier about certain mitigable risks".

 

"His actions are intentional violations of specific safety rules designed to prevent high-speed collisions," said Judge Ho.

 

He said the risks Chen took were "clearly mitigable" if he had simply followed traffic rules and exited at the next opportunity instead of "forcing" the manoeuvre.

 

The judge granted Chen's request to defer his sentence to March for Chinese New Year and also for him to settle work and family matters.

Speaking to reporters about an hour after he was sentenced, Chen apologised for what had happened and for the inconvenience he had caused.

With tears in his eyes, he said in Mandarin that he would like to apologise to the motorcyclist but felt heartened that he had recovered.

He declined to comment when asked if he was going to appeal.

 

For driving without due consideration for other road users, resulting in grievous hurt, he could have been jailed for up to two years, fined up to S$5,000, or both.

SINGAPORE – Former actor Ian Fang will be deported from Singapore and barred from re-entering after serving his jail sentence for sexual offences.

 

The 35-year-old was sentenced to 40 months’ jail in May 2025 after pleading guilty to three counts of sexually penetrating a 15-year-old girl.

 

Five other charges, including sexual penetration of an underage girl, harassment and obstructing the course of justice, were taken into account during sentencing.

 

He began serving his sentence on June 16, 2025.

 

In response to queries from The Straits Times, a spokesman for the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said Singapore permanent residents who have been convicted of an offence will have their permanent residence (PR) status reviewed.

 

ICA revoked Fang’s PR status on Feb 5 and said he will be deported and barred from re-entering Singapore.

 

The actor is originally from Shanghai, China, and had obtained PR status in 2015.

 

He first met the victim, a student, at an entertainment event on May 4, 2024.

 

She cannot be named due to a court-imposed gag order.

 

Fang exchanged contact details with the teen and they grew closer after conversing daily. She regarded him as her boyfriend.

 

Fang, who was then an acting teacher at a modelling school for children, had sex with the teen on nine occasions between June and July 2024.

 

He had unprotected sex with her on five of those occasions.

 

These included the first time he had sex with her on June 6, 2024, when her mother checked her into a hotel to quarantine her as the teen had contracted Covid-19.

 

Fang visited her at the hotel at around 9pm and had unprotected sex with her, refusing to use a condom even when she asked him to.

 

The court heard that he met her alone on subsequent occasions, and was caught only after the girl’s mother found out in August 2024 and filed a police report.

 

There was initially a gag order on Fang’s identity when he was charged.

 

But he was identified in court after District Judge Eddy Tham lifted the gag order following an application by the prosecution.

 

The judge said that while the main focus of the gag order was to protect the victim from further harm, he would respect the wishes of the victim and her family to reveal the offender’s identity.

 

While being investigated, Fang got in touch with the girl through social media, asking her to contact him, despite being warned by the police not to do so.

 

During their conversations, he told her he would kill himself if he had to go to jail.

 

The court was told the victim developed depression and had suicidal thoughts after Fang kept contacting her to ask her to persuade her mother to withdraw the charges. She was eventually admitted to the Institute of Mental Health and diagnosed with adjustment disorder.

 

Fang made his acting debut in the police drama C.L.I.F. in 2011.

 

He went on to star in numerous shows and movies, including Don’t Stop Believin’ and The Dream Job.

 

His last known screen appearance was a cameo role in local crime mystery television series Kill Sera Sera.

From Duke to deportee: 7 things you didn’t know about disgraced ex-actor Ian Fang

Updated Feb 07, 2026, 01:59 PM

 

Once a rising star on local television screens, former actor Ian Fang will be barred from re-entering Singapore after serving his prison term for sexual offences.

 

The 36-year-old Shanghai-born Chinese national has had his Singapore permanent residence (PR) status revoked and will be deported.

 

In May 2025, Fang was sentenced to 40 months’ jail after pleading guilty to three counts of sexually penetrating a 15-year-old girl. He began serving his time on June 16, 2025.

 

Throughout his show business career, which began in 2011, he was no stranger to making headlines. Here are seven things to know about the disgraced artiste:

1. Once a “Duke”

In 2014, local broadcaster Mediacorp singled out eight promising young actors and coined them the Eight Dukes of Caldecott Hill, with Fang being one of them.

 

The others were Desmond Tan, Jeffrey Xu, Romeo Tan, Shane Pow, Xu Bin, Zhang Zhenhuan and Aloysius Pang.

 

At a 2014 New Year’s Eve countdown show, the octet sang and grooved to a medley of 1990s boy band tunes at The Float @ Marina Bay, such as Boyzone’s Picture Of You, Backstreet Boys’ I Want It That Way and As Long As You Love Me.

 

Only three from the group - Desmond Tan and Romeo Tan and Jeffrey Xu - are still with Mediacorp and have carved out successful careers.

 

Pang died in 2019 after a military accident, while Pow had his own run-ins with the law - notably two drink driving incidents, for which he was sentenced in 2014 and 2021.

 

Fang did not make much inroads as a leading man and left Mediacorp in 2023.

2. Cultivated an on-screen bad-boy image

Part of Fang’s appeal from the beginning was his rebellious and dangerous side. In his debut acting role in police series C.L.I.F (2011), he played a rich kid who got into trouble.

 

In his breakthrough drama On The Fringe (2011), he played Fann Wong’s teenage delinquent brother.

 

And in his first movie Imperfect (2012), about wayward youths, he portrayed an impulsive and belligerent young man.

At one point, he was even described by local media as Singapore’s version of Edison Chen, the Hong Kong actor whose career was defined by a 2008 sex photo scandal involving many female celebrities.

 

However, Fang set the record straight that the attitude-oozing persona did not reflect the real him. He once said in a 2012 interview: “I think I’m quite kind and I like to stay at home. When people say I’m a bad boy, maybe it’s just because of my appearance.”

3. Won three main Star Awards

At Mediacorp’s annual ceremony, he was named Best Newcomer for his performance as a poor student who lost his grandmother in Don’t Stop Believin’ (2012), beating fellow nominees Elizabeth Lee, Jayley Woo, Shane Pow and Edwin Goh.

 

During his acceptance speech, he said: “In life, it is better to excel at one thing, instead of being good at three things. I think I have found the one thing I want to excel at, which is to act well and be a good person.”

However, unlike his peers, Fang never managed to energise a devoted fan base for himself that would diligently cast public votes for him at the Star Awards. Out of the five times he was nominated in the Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes category, he won only twice - in 2015 and 2017.

4. Romantically linked to actress Rebecca Lim

In the late 2010s, Fang and fellow Mediacorp artiste Rebecca Lim kept fans guessing as to whether they were an item.

 

The most telling sign occurred at the 2017 Star Awards, when he won the Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes prize.

 

In his speech, he singled out Lim to thank, calling her his “very good friend” and adding: “You are not just my good friend, you are also a very good role model.”

 

It was only after the local actress, who is now 39, announced in 2021 that she was engaged to Matthew Webster, a Singaporean of British-Chinese descent, that rumours died down.

 

A few hours before the announcement, Fang posted a cryptic post on Instagram that namedropped local celebrity couple Christopher Lee and Fann Wong: “As transient as a fleeting cloud, quietly, and without a trace. Not every Christopher Lee will have his Fann Wong; not every Fann Wong will stay with her Christopher Lee. Not everyone can be Christopher Lee and Fann Wong. And when everyone thinks that the both of you will be like them, not everyone believes that you’ll be the next.”

 

Netizens inferred that Fang was wistfully referring to himself as Lee and Lim as Fann.

5. Entangled in a sexting scandal with actress Carrie Wong

In 2019, leaked private messages between Fang and another Mediacorp colleague, Carrie Wong, were posted online, and the exchange suggested the two had a physical relationship.

 

The messages were peppered with sexual innuendo, with him joking about “planting strawberries” (slang for love bites) on Wong and sleeping with her.

 

At that time, Wong was dating Taiwanese model Boris Lin, while Fang was romantically linked to Rebecca Lim. Lin even publicly asked Fang to stop coming between him and Wong.

 

Fang later went on to make a public apology, where he said: “Carrie and I are good friends who talk about everything. I acknowledge that our language was vulgar and inappropriate. I apologise for our conduct. I am sorry to those who saw the exchanges. As a public figure, I will be much more careful in my behaviour going forward.”

 

Lin and Wong, who is now 32 and reportedly single, eventually broke up. And with Lim moving on with Webster, whom she wed in 2022, it is safe to say both women dodged a bullet.

6. Had a tough childhood in China

Details of Fang’s childhood were revealed in the 2015 reality travel series Family Wanders, when he went on a week-long trip to Japan with his mother, Ms Fang Pei Pei.

 

He is the only child of divorced parents, who were partners in a song-and-dance troupe, but could not get along and split when he was four.

 

His mother won custody of him, and Fang’s father left for Japan. Fang was initially placed under the care of his maternal grandmother, and later a childcare centre, after his grandmother got too old and found him too mischievous. His mother moved to South-east Asia to provide for him, and Fang once shared that he was mostly on his own as a kid.

 

Sometime between the age of 11 and 16, Fang moved to Singapore and his mother joined him here. He attended Bendemeer Secondary School, and later studied new media at Republic Polytechnic. Upon graduating from the latter in 2012, he became a full-time actor.

On Family Wanders, Ms Fang said: “I’ve always wanted to say this in Singapore. Thank you, Singapore, for raising my son, Ian. My deepest gratitude (to you).”

7. Pursued other ventures beyond acting

In 2013, Fang established his streetwear brand First Attempt, selling T-shirts, caps, bucket hats, towels, hair wax and utensils. Its Instagram account is still active, although its last post was in May 2023. Fang deleted his personal Instagram account in May 2025, around the time he was sentenced to jail for his crimes.

He also once co-owned the House of Mu restaurant at Mohamed Sultan Road in the late 2010s. In 2020, he opened the karaoke pub Pub-G, but it closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

 

In 2015, he released his first music single, the Mandarin rap number 1st Attempt (2015). Featuring former Singapore Idol runner-up Sylvester Sim, the track celebrated Fang’s brashness and being unapologetically himself.

 

Fang was later also featured as a rapper on the song King (2020) by Singaporean singer Alfred Sim. The pair gave fans a sneak peak of the electronica number at the Starker Music Carnival 2019 at Zhongshan Park.

 

In 2020, they also performed it at a TGIF Music Station event at the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre.

After leaving Mediacorp, he became an acting teacher at First Model, a modelling school for children aged between four and 14. It was then that he committed sexual offences against a minor in 2024.

Hope to see surprises! I guess Sunday's Star Awards can be called Little Nonya Emerald Hill Night as most of the award winners likely to be from this drama.

Ya, definitely—they’ll likely win several awards, especially Best Drama Serial, Best Original Song, the Young Talent Award, all the MY PICK! awards, and Favourite Character, along with Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress.

[jonathan94]

Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor will be more uncertain and harder to predict, especially the Best Actor category, which tends to be more competitive and unpredictable compared to the others.

Agreed! Best actor i think it will go to Chen Hanwei (yet again) as he is definitely the best among the other 4 actors in that cancer role. It will be a fight between Han wei and Desmond. As for Supporting male, I am rooting for Andie as i believed is time for him to earn this award for that convincing role in that show. However Mediacorp may just give this award to Zetong or Tyler or even any of the other 2 nominees - James or Jeremy since Andie is not directly under Mediacorp full time artiste.

Fully agreed! Seems HanWei still have the best performance among all the nominees. The Best Supporting Actor is the hardest to predict seems like all of them have chances, just ZeTong get it before already, while Jeremy get Best Actor before too, might choose against the other three then.

I have expected him to win top 10 as the past year he had quite a few dramas exposure especially the recent drama <一路惊魂＞。where he acted quite well.

[Dreamz80]

Little Nonya Emerald Hill sweeped a total of 7 awards: 
- Best actress
- Best drama
- Best supporting actor 
- Best supporting actress (pity Chen Liping not here to receive the award. Wonder why she was absent?)
- Best original song
- Best variety show 
- Young talent award (青苹果）

 

Really a night of Little Nonya which is not surprising.
