Ah Gil had four different names in her lifetime, Netizens speculated she changed her name so many times because she wanted to change her fortune/fate. Yesterday her manager Mani Fok, who is currently in Beijing, expressed Ah Gil had planned to change her name several months ago. She said: "The two 'Tung' characters are pronounced the same way. Because earlier she had just launched her Mandarin album Tung Fa (桐花), her name changed was delayed a little. Whether if its her career or anything else, it had nothing to do with her fate." Mani disclosed Ah Gil did all the leg work to choose her new name. "She researched in the dictionary herself. Before she thought of using '彤', but ultimately she thought '潼' was more unique, prettier and makes people happy." Ah Gil's mother didn't oppose to her beloved daughter's new name. As they say, if have the desire then why not take action, Ah Gill will be changing her HK ID card to her new name as well.
Nearly 90% of Ah Gil's fans were against her sudden name change. When this article was written, there were already over 5,000 comments on Ah Gil's Weibo. Fans all gave their idol a "dislike" on her name change. Some fans even said the Fanclub names will have to be changed as well. Netizens left comments such as, "I cannot accept this, I rather you go back to Chung Ka Lai", "I'm really afraid, I really can't imagine it, suddenly this changed.", "Tung-Chuek Club (Twins Fan Club or T.F.C) will no longer be Tung-Chuek Club". In regards to fans' dislike, Mani expressed the name change is Ah Gil's decision, EEG will respect her aspiration.
