Jack Wu Lok Yin (Chinese: 胡诺言; pinyin: Hú Nuòyán, born on 23 August 1977) is a Hong Kong actor, singer and TV host, currently a basic artist contract artist of TVB.
Background and family In his early years, Wu grew up in Lei Muk Shue Fire Services Quarters, Wo Yi Hop Road, Tsuen Wan District. He came from a simple family where his dad was a fireman and his mom was a seamstress. He has a little brother. Wu volunteered to be a firefighter when he was young. His name Lok Yin is artist name.
He attended S.K.H. Chu Oi Primary School, Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Mrs. Wu York Yu Memorial College and Po Leung Kuk Yao Ling Sun College; graduated in 1994. When he was in middle school, he was a reserve player of the volleyball team. He also participates in home economics classes.
Wu's wife was Hong Kong TVB artist now Social Media Influencer June Chan Kei. The two started dating after playing the role of sister and brother in the TV series The King of Yesterday and Tomorrow, and they had known each other for more than ten years. After dating for nearly seven years, the two got married with wedding banquet at The Peninsula Hong Kong on April 27, 2009. On September 3, 2009, the eldest daughter Hu Zhiling (Jay) was born. On November 28, 2012, the second daughter Hu Zhiyou (Jacey) was born. On October 14, 2016, the youngest son Hu Haokun (Jayden) was born.
Career Wu later participated in the singing competition at the fire station party and eventually won the championship. A few months later, he received encouragement from his mother and was attracted by the car prize, so in 1996, with Daniel Chan's song "Knowing Everything About You" 《了解你的所有》, he went to Hong Kong Cultural Center in Tsim Sha Tsui to participate in the Big Echo Summer Karaoke Competition hosted by Go East Entertainment, winning the championship and signed as a singer under Warner Music Hong Kong.
In 1997, Wu released his solo album One Promise; Boy Next Door「鄰家男孩」for the first time. Although the song "一個諾言" increased his fame, the sales of the album did not meet expectations. Later, he was transformed into Fat Boy 「肥男孩」. Unfortunately, due to piracy issues, his development was not as good as expected.
Finally, in 2000, he became a TVB managerial artist contract. Before Wu's transformation, Warner Music Hong Kong released another album for him, 《愛玩火》, and arranged for him to go to Australia to shoot a music video for the song "《無重狀態》". Lau Lai Ping (Apple姐), chairman of the board of directors and boss of BIG ECHO I-BOX, knew that Wu had worked hard to develop his singing career, so she suggested that he find another way out by becoming an artist at TVB.
At first, he mainly served as a tv host and participated in travel specials. Later, because he wanted to develop in many aspects, he recommended himself to the producer Leung Choi Yuen to film his first TV series Lost in Love. After being recommended to other TV station producer by Leung Choi Yuen, Wu began to participate in more TV series. In 2003, he was assigned by Tommy Leung Ka Shu to play a relatively important role in Net Deception. In 2006, he joined the hosting team of Scoop.
Although Wu has never become a first-line artist, he still has a certain degree of popularity. In 2012, he was selected as the most diverse artist by China Mainland Network. In 2014, he played the leading role for the first time in the live-action drama Shades of Life. In 2018, he and Sharon Chan were invited to serve as hosts of Cantopop at 50 (流行經典50年), replacing Raymond Cho and Karen Tong.
In addition, due to his love for marathon running, Wu formed Crazy Runner (one of the cliques in the HK Entertainment Industry) with his friends Joel Chan, Benjamin Yuen, Brian Tse and the girls of the Nonsense Club (胡說八道會) Nancy Wu, Paisley Wu, Elaine Yiu, Selena Lee and Mandy Wong.
In December 2022, the from managerial artist contract changed to basic artist contract.
