The Miss Hong Kong 2026 finals concluded at TVB City on August 30, with contestant No. 1 Yuan Siheng claiming the crown, while off-stage moments brought unexpected drama, including a security standoff for Joey Leung and a near-wardrobe malfunction by Krysia Kwok.
The annual Miss Hong Kong 2026 finals concluded on August 30 at TVB City, crowning No. 1 Yuan Siheng as champion, according to reporting by Hk01. No. 8 Deng Kuangmin took first runner-up, while pre-show favorite No. 2 Li Zexin claimed the title of Miss Photogenic alongside second runner-up. Yet beyond the televised performances, behind-the-scenes incidents at TVB City captured equal attention.
Joey Leung Confronted by Security During Red Carpet Photo Call
According to Hk01, former 2022 Miss Hong Kong second runner-up and Miss Photogenic Joey Leung experienced a tense moment before the ceremony. While posing for photos near the fountain at the entrance of TVB City—a traditional spot for participating artists—she was abruptly approached by on-site security personnel and told to move along.
Leung appeared visibly perplexed and momentarily upset by the interruption, leading to a brief standoff between her team and security before the guards stepped away and allowed the photo session to resume. Hk01 reported that security intervened because too many vehicles and city buses were moving through the roundabout at the time, prompting guards to clear the area for safety reasons.
Krysia Kwok Near-Miss and Christine Kuo’s High-Profile Return
Red carpet regulars also drew heavy coverage during the evening’s arrivals.
Meanwhile, judge Christine Kuo appeared in a blue off-the-shoulder low-cut evening gown accompanied by a four-person entourage consisting of a hair stylist, makeup artist, wardrobe assistant, and personal assistant, according to Hk01. The high-profile appearance underscored her return to the spotlight following her single status.
Billionaire Heir Brian Shiu Praises the Pageant
Off-stage reactions to the competition included enthusiastic commentary from businessman Brian Shiu. According to Hk01, the wealthy fourth-generation heir attended the finals with his pregnant wife, Chuang Yating—who participated in last year’s pageant interviews. Following the conclusion of the event, Shiu expressed high spirits while chatting with TVB executives, calling the broadcast a Good show
and boasting that he had successfully predicted the entire top three trio of winners.
Stage Mishaps and Next Steps for the New Winners
The live broadcast also featured unexpected unscripted moments on stage. Hk01 reported that contestant Xie Shuyi suffered a fall on stage during her segment before being assisted down by fellow performers Chen Zhenyi and Guo Baiyan, after which she promptly changed into flat shoes.
