Seven Princesses of Mediacorp
Seven Princesses of Mediacorp is a term referring to the seven most bankable young Mediacorp actresses from Singapore in the early 2000s, namely Jesseca Liu, Jeanette Aw, Rui En, Fiona Xie, Joanne Peh, Felicia Chin and Dawn Yeoh, then all in their twenties. The designation was first made as part of Mediacorp's publication iWeekly's 476th issue cover story in December 2006. They were anointed as the successors to Caldecott Hill queens Zoe Tay and Fann Wong. As expected, the seven actresses dominated Singapore television in the following decade with varying degrees of success.The Seven Princesses of Mediacorp
