About the artist
Wong You-nam is a Hong Kong male singer and actor, born on November 2, 1983. His birth name is 黃德謙, and he is also a member of Shine.
His entry into film began with a student group photo. While preparing to film "香港有個荷里活" in 1999, 陳果's assistant director, 陳偉強, saw the photo in the wallet of one of Wong You-nam's classmates and subsequently invited Wong You-nam to take part in the shoot through that classmate. This led to Wong You-nam being cast, and the film earned him nominations for Best New Performer at both the 39th Golden Horse Awards and the 22nd Hong Kong Film Awards.
Another early film, "一碌蔗," was released in 2002 and also earned Wong You-nam a Best New Performer nomination at the 22nd Hong Kong Film Awards. The two films resulted in separate nominations for him in the same category at the same edition of the Hong Kong Film Awards.
Shine was formed after signing and vocal training. Film producer 錢小蕙 saw potential in the development of Wong You-nam and Chui Tien-you and, before their debut, contacted 福隆製作公司, founded by Taiwanese producer 葛福鴻. The two signed with the company as its artists and received training from vocal coach 梁月玲. They subsequently formed the male vocal group Shine in 2002.
The group's activities later went through periods of separate development and reunion. Wong You-nam and Chui Tien-you each began trying independent careers in 2007. After taking part in "Concert YY 黃偉文作品展" in 2012, they performed together again as a group and went on to hold the "Shine Again" concert and the "Shine Passion Live 2012-2013" New Year's Eve concert.
The group's live activities continued thereafter. In 2018, Wong You-nam once again performed as a member of Shine at the Hong Kong Coliseum in "Shine・Moments Live 2018."
During his independent career, Wong You-nam traveled to mainland China to film multiple screen productions from 2009 to 2011, and decided to return to Hong Kong's entertainment industry in 2012. In 2014, he appeared in the film "那夜凌晨，我坐上了旺角開往大埔的紅VAN."
"王家欣" connected Wong You-nam's acting and singing work: the film earned him the Outstanding Leading Actor award at indieFAST awards 2015, and he sang its theme song, "給王家欣." The song was nominated for Best Original Film Song at the 35th Hong Kong Film Awards.
Television performances have also formed part of his work. In 2015, Wong You-nam appeared in the TVB drama "殭." In 2025, he and 梁允瑜 co-hosted the TVB travel program "關東·路駅十三."
His film work in 2019 included a leading role with Charlene Choi and Chui Tien-you in "再見UFO," which became the opening film of the Hong Kong Asian Film Festival 2019. That year, he also appeared in "冥通銀行特約：翻生爭霸戰." Wong You-nam additionally received a Best Supporting Actor nomination at the 44th Hong Kong Film Awards for "再見UFO."
