Yumiko Cheng turns 39 this year, but she has never felt she was that old. As for her thoughts about forming a girl group at her age, she said, “In life, it is never too late to do anything. Everything is the best arrangement.” However, when she was 29, she was very anxious because she felt turning 30 was a hurdle for women. After she turned 30, she realized the most important thing for women is to know what they want, love themselves, and live in the moment.

As for her thoughts about being popular again, Yumiko Cheng admits she has gained more of a following as younger audience members thought she was an actress and didn’t know she debuted as a singer. She reveals that she has experienced ups and downs, but those tests were what made her realize that she can do it. As for being labeled “popular again”, she said, “For female artists, being popular is very important. There is only being popular, which will give you commercial value and more choices to choose your jobs.”
