How it's used
Referring to celebrities by their full three-character name is standard in Cantonese when discussing their career or public persona. Unlike some Western contexts where a first name might suffice, using the full name avoids ambiguity and shows respect for their professional identity. It is common to mention her most famous hits when bringing her name up in conversation.
