World-renowned action actor and director Donnie Yen (甄子丹, Donnie Yen) will appear at the 2025 The Fact Music Awards.
On the 15th, The Fact Music Awards (THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS, TMA) organizing committee said Donnie Yen will attend the 2025 The Fact Music Awards, which will be held in Macau on the 20th, as an award presenter.
Donnie Yen, who is from Hong Kong, is a global star who combines dazzling martial arts performances with delicate emotional acting. With representative works including the Ip Man series, as well as Once Upon a Time in China II, Iron Monkey, and Legend of the Wolf, he left a mark on the Hong Kong martial arts action film scene of the 1990s and 2000s and established himself as a leading Chinese-language action actor following the lineage of Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Jet Li.
Donnie Yen did not remain confined to the Chinese-speaking world; he expanded his activities to Hollywood and continues to be active. In xXx: Return of Xander Cage he shone alongside global action stars such as Vin Diesel and Tony Jaa, and in John Wick: Chapter 4 he played assassin Caine, captivating audiences worldwide with an overwhelming presence. In addition, Donnie Yen left a strong impression in diverse works such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, earning love from old fans and the MZ generation alike as a world-class actor who has captured all generations.
