Local actress Eelyn Kok has taken on another full-time career.

Speaking to AsiaOne in an interview yesterday (May 20), the 45-year-old revealed she's now a community development manager in communications in a government statutory board and that she's taking a break from showbiz.

"I've stopped acting for a bit. I had to turn down several acting gigs this past year since I have taken on a permanent role in the workforce," she said.

Known for her roles in dramas like The Little Nyonya (2008) and Together (2009), Eelyn began her acting career in 2001. She left Mediacorp in 2013 but continued to take on acting roles.

She last starred in the 2023 drama The Sky is Blue, and recently graduated from a specialist diploma in Business and Predictive Analytics, a year-long intensive course she took that same year.

"Seeing how big data is such an IT word, it piqued my interest on what kind of insights can be gleaned from data and how to use it to predict trends," she shared, adding that she's interested in getting acquainted with coding.

"It takes a logical mind to do analytics and is an interesting balance to the reflective and emotional side that acting has cultivated in me."

She added that this learning journey has helped her in her personal growth. "To me it's essential to adapt to the changing world and environment. That's what started me on this pursuit in the first place."

Currently holding six other professional qualifications including teaching Chinese as a second language and a scrum master certificate, on top of a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Japanese Studies, Eelyn told us she finds learning fun.

"It helps my mind run faster. I do have a fear of my brain slowing down so I try to learn as much as I can and when time allows. The more I learn, the more I want to keep on learning. It can be highly addictive," she admitted.

Eelyn, who is married with a son, said it can get overwhelming juggling several roles.

"But it's really fulfilling. We only have one life, so I wanna make the most out of every minute and every second of it," she said.

She added she couldn't have done it alone: "My husband is also a keen learner and we're kinda competitive in that way.

"We are competing to see who gets more certificates. Currently he is winning but precisely because we have this same mindset in learning, we're able to understand each other and take over caring for our son when the other is busy."

We may not see her on screens for a while, but Eelyn said she'll be creating video content soon for her social media account.

Despite leaving Mediacorp as a full-time actress in 2013, Eelyn Kok (郭蕙雯 Guō huì wén) never really quite left our small screens. The bright-eyed actress continues to film on an ad hoc basis and has been in You Can Be An Angel 4 and Truth About Us in 2022 alone.

For those who want a more intimate look into her life, Eelyn Kok is also active on Instagram and TikTok.

Here, we take a look into Eelyn Kok's life with 10 facts about her you might not know.


1. She got her showbiz start from a competition
In 2001, Eelyn Kok participated in the SPH MediaWorks talent show Route to Glamour. While she didn't win the top prize (it went to Jeanette Aw), the competition eventually kicked started her acting career. She later moved to Mediacorp in 2005 after the two companies merged.

Bought some pretty orchids for Chinese New Year, some buds dropped but to be honest, they're much easier to care for and clean up after compared to pussy willows....
I do like pussy willows though, have always loved them... Maybe I'll get them next year if I feel like I can pick up those dropping buds diligently 😜 enjoy the festivities y'all!

3. She's known for her villainous roles
Speaking of The Little Nyonya, most of us would remember her as the antagonist Huang Zhenzhu who would flash her gigantic eyes in disdain due to her streaks of jealousy against Huang Juxiang (Jeanette Aw) as she fought for the affection of Chen Xi (Qi Yuwu).

5. She had troubles managing finances
Fresh out of university and finally earning her own keep from a burgeoning showbiz career, Eelyn Kok revealed that it actually made her a "wild spender" where she "spent on everything, from cosmetics to bags to shoes". She added that she had "spent so much that in 2003, I maxed out two credit cards and was deeply in debt." With the help of her financial planner uncle, she eventually managed to navigate her way out of debt and has become more fiscally prudent.

6. She struggled with depression
Eelyn Kok has a happy demeanour now. But back when she was 23, she struggled with depression. "I felt lethargic. I would wake up in the morning, lie there and just stare at the ceiling. Sometimes, I would sleep the day away. Sometimes, I couldn't sleep at night. I didn't feel like going out. I rejected my friends' invitations."

The trigger for her depression was the close timing between her failed relationship with her first love and her mother's fight against cervical cancer. "It was a downward spiral for me. I found wallowing in self-pity was very addictive."

With the help of a combination of religion, regular exercise, inspirational books and Destiny's Child Survivor, Eelyn Kok later pulled herself out of the dark cloud.


今天心情好好。
PHOTO: 今天心情好好。今天拍照片，除了摄影师还有儿子当小帮手！ 拍摄时需要拿起道具，不能放下还得一直让道具反光。拍了1个多小时，他没有怨言，一直拿着道具。 看得出他累了却不像以前那样一下子就喊累、 动不动就放下道具。今天的他没有怨言，还看起来非常开朗。让我觉得我的儿子真的长大了。 儿子棒棒的！ 👍🏻😊✨✨✨ 我的宝贝，让我欣慰。😊❤️

I am in a good mood today. Taking photos today, in addition to the photographer, I have my son as a little helper! When shooting, you need to pick up the props, and if you can't put them down, you have to let the props reflect all the time. After more than an hour of filming, he had no complaints and kept holding the props. It could be seen that he was tired, but he didn't cry when he was tired and put down props at every turn. Today he has no complaints and looks very cheerful. Makes me feel like my son has really grown up. Great son! 👍🏻😊✨✨✨ My baby, make me happy. 😊❤️

10. She had a dejà vu moment that involved Felicia Chin
In a 2019 interview about her 2019 involvement in the drama Beijing to Moscow that was filmed across three countries, Eelyn Kok talked about a dejà vu moment she had with Felicia Chin.

"Even before I got the call for Beijing to Moscow, I had a dream of me shooting in Europe with Felicia. In the dream, we were in a church with murals. And it came true. On the first day of shooting, I was with Felicia in this old synagogue. Then it suddenly dawned on me, it's dejà vu!"
