The Weeknd’s Faye Wong-sampling “Hong Kong,” originally released as an Asia exclusive, now has an official video starring Chinese supermodel Ming Xi.

The track has enjoyed record-setting success on streaming platforms in China, hitting the top spot on major charts in the region while also giving a significant boost to Faye Wong’s 1993 classic “Monsoon.”

In October, The Weeknd launched a four-night run at Kai Tak Stadium in Kowloon. On the first night of the mini-residency, the four-time Grammy winner and The Idol actor gave the song its live debut, sparking immediate hype among fans.
