How come Ekin Cheng is called Dior Cheng or Noodle Cheng?
Cheng Yee-Kin’s first English name that he adopted was “Dior”. Cheng is the second son, or “yi gor” in his family, and when his little sister would try to call him that, it would come out as “dior” (some rumors have suggested that “Dior” was a name given to Cheng by his hairdresser). “Noodle” was his nickname for a time (Cheng’s Chinese name sounds like a type of noodle). “Ekin” is an English approximation of his Chinese name Yee-Kin. To confuse matters further, Cheng has seemingly adopted another English name, “Eric”, for US releases of some of his movies.
