Former Hong Kong singer-actor Don Li has announced his exit from the entertainment industry.
In a recent TikTok video, Li, 43, said he hasn’t pursued singing professionally for several years and only posts covers of old songs occasionally on the platform.
He also took to Instagram to share more about his decision to step away from the spotlight, adding that he’s currently working hard to be the best version of himself.
“I hope that my life journey will be quiet. I want to concentrate on work, spend more time with my family, connect with like-minded friends and travel. That’s enough for me,” he wrote.
Li also addressed the rumours about him becoming a monk, which surfaced earlier in February after he posted photos of himself sporting a shaved head, dressed in monastic robes.
The Port Of Call (2015) star clarified that his time as a monk was only temporary instead of a lifelong commitment.
“It’s a solemn and serious ritual, so I won’t explain too much. Life’s journey is divided into many stages, and I currently like myself the most at this stage,” he wrote.
Li kickstarted his entertainment career in 2003 after emerging as a finalist in a talent show.
He teamed up with singer Mandy Chiang to form a duet act in 2005, but the pair parted ways in 2007 to pursue their music careers as solo artistes.
