Tony Leung’s surprise cameo in a music video from K-pop group NewJeans has set the internet ablaze.
NewJeans isn’t just K-pop’s latest global sensation; they’re also proving to be masterful video producers. This time, they’ve delighted fans with music videos for the songs ‘Get Up’ and ‘Cool With You,’ featuring two bombshell cameos: Tony Leung and Jung Ho-yeon.
Towards the end of the second video, a silver-haired and enigmatic figure emerges — none other than Tony Leung, with his signature electrifying gaze. The 15-second clip caused a storm on the internet, as the crossover between Leung and the Korean group was completely unexpected.
The topic exploded on social media platform Weibo, with hashtag #TonyLeung trending at the no. 1 position, accumulating more than 6 million views since the video’s release.
But that’s not all — Twitter is eating it up, as well.

Word on the street is that Leung did the project for free. It would make sense for the Hong Kong movie star, who has already done it all, and probably wanted to enjoy a victory lap.
