SINGAPORE - Australian singer Kimberley Chen got quite a bit of attention in 2019, but not exactly for her music.

The Taiwan-based star had posted photos of herself in a bikini walking her dogs at what appeared to be a train station. This led some netizens to criticise her attire as inappropriate, while others complimented her on her figure.

During an interview over Google Meet with Singapore media last Wednesday (Sept 23) to promote her recent singles, the singer responded to reports about the incident.

The 26-year-old said: "I was bringing my dogs to go swimming, so I was wearing swimwear. Everyone wants to put the emphasis on my body, I think it is disgraceful... I was going swimming, do you mean I can't wear a bikini to go swimming?"

Asked if the reports had affected how she dresses now when walking her dogs, she replied: "Is there a problem with the clothes I wear? Why should I pay attention to what I wear?"

No stranger to the limelight, Chen started out as a child star at age six, singing and dancing on Australian national television.

As a child, she also performed the role of young Nala in The Lion King stage musical in Melbourne, and appeared as a child model for the Australian television game show The Price Is Right.

After moving to Taiwan, she competed in the Taiwanese singing competition One Million Star; and in 2012, released her debut self-titled album, with the effervescent track Love You becoming a runaway hit.

With another two albums - Kimbonomics (2013) and #Tag Me (2017) - under her belt, Chen joined record label ChynaHouse Digital earlier this year, and has released the singles 9 Million and 4am Calls. These deal with more mature subjects than her previous work.

For example, the spunky R&B track 4am Calls is about staying away from men who toy with women's emotions, and who call only when they need you.

In its music video, Chen plays an employee in a diner when one such man, played by her real-life boyfriend, Taiwan-born singer Albert Lin, enters.

Chen believes everyone would see the humour in casting Lin in the role. After all, their relationship is "very good", she said.

However, she has had past experiences with such "rubbish men", For example, she once liked a man who was not very serious about relationships.

"So I stopped liking him because I saw through him. That is why there is this song," she revealed.

In another new work, the groovy 9 Million, Chen sings about doing what she wants, and having ＄9 million in her bank account.

When asked if this amount was in US dollars or New Taiwan dollars, she laughed and replied good-naturedly: "Both, both." She explained that she used the figure nine because she felt it was a "nice" number.

Chen's future plans include releasing a new album around the end of 2020, which will include a variety of musical styles, including sentimental songs.

Given her background as a child star, might the public have different expectations of her, compared with other celebrities?

"I do not really know what expectations audiences have of me. I only know what expectations I have for myself," she replied.

PHOTO: Try a new look is never easy but it’s often worth the risk. It’s a bold step but you never know until you try; what’s the worst that could happen, really? Speak to your hairdresser about trying a new look as they’re the most qualified to advice what would work best with your face shape and hair type.
Note that Scripture doesn't prescribe any particular style of dress, but rather exhorts us to give attention to adorning ourselves with virtues like humility, sobriety, godliness and good works.

 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit

"and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody." (1 Thessalonians 4:11-12).

"May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones." (1 Thessalonians 3:12-13).

"For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever." (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).
