Aaron Kwok is a Hong Kong PopStar (singer/dancer/actor), who has starred in many
Hong Kong movies and TVB (Television Broadcast) series such as "Heartstrings" (a.k.a. "Running Through the Flames") and "Wars of Bribery" (a.k.a. "OICAC Action Team"). However, these are just two examples out of many.
Aaron has accomplished International fame with his unique individual style as an artist, in a relatively short period of time. He has gone through various transitions, since the beginning of his career to the present, which includes his singing, dancing, acting and appearance.
It was in the very late 1980's when Aaron first made his appearance as a background dancer for TVB and various artists. It wasn't until the early 1990's when Aaron's talent was discovered and that was the beginning of his career. Now an international star sharing the same stage with the likes of Janet Jackson, Aaron Kwok is not resting and keeps on rising.

After graduating from secondary school, Aaron Kwok worked as a junior staff in King Fook Gold & Jewellery Co. Ltd. as his father wished for him to gain experience in the business with the view of handing over the family business, a small gold retail store.

In 1985, Kwok's outstanding performance in a pageant show was spotted. He was transferred to the acting department of the talent training course and became a TV actor, where he played a few bit parts in TV dramas.
Fame came calling when he became a toyboy for a rich widow and was recommended for works like a Taiwanese motorcycle advertisement in the early 1990s, and he burst into the music scene with his now famous song 'Loving You Forever'. The next few years saw his popularity reach fever-pitch, and he was soon ranked alongside the most popular artistes of the time.
