She was a full-time [[Mediacorp]] artiste from 1988 to 2008. To date, Huang has received five [[Star Awards for Best Actress]], a record for the most wins in that category.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.8days.sg/entertainment/local/huang-biren-star-awards-2023-best-actress-not-paiseh-win-twice-771446|title= “I Don’t Think I Should Feel Paiseh Because I Really Respect The Award”: Huang Biren On Winning Best Actress 2 Years In A Rowe|last= |first= |date= 10 April 2023|website= [[8 Days (magazine)|8 Days]]|publisher= |access-date= 10 April 2023|quote=}}</ref> ==Career== Huang joined the [[Singapore Broadcasting Corporation]] (now [[Mediacorp|MediaCorp]]) in 1988 after completing its Professional Drama Performers' Training course. She was due to study at [[Hawaii Pacific University]] in the [[United States]] but chose to go into acting when SBC offered her a contract, much to the initial disappointment of her parents.<ref>{{cite news|title=Glamour grad |url=http://justwoman.asiaone.com/Just+Woman/News/Celebrities/Story/A1Story20081103-97959.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090203185037/http://justwoman.asiaone.com/Just%2BWoman/News/Celebrities/Story/A1Story20081103-97959.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=3 February 2009 |publisher=[[AsiaOne]] |date=3 November 2008 }}</ref> Having been in the industry for 10 years, Huang won her first ''Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes'' award in Star Awards 1997. In 1998, Huang went on to star in the hit Chinese drama series ''[[Stand By Me (drama)|Stand By Me]]'', which recorded rocketing viewership ratings (defeating the high-profile series ''[[The Return of the Condor Heroes (Singaporean TV series)|Return of the Condor Heroes]]''), despite very little promotion done prior to the drama's telecast. She played a patient and caring wife of a [[paraplegic]] (played by [[Xie Shaoguang]]), which won her the Best Actress Award at the 1998 [[Star Awards]]. She was also the first Singaporean actress to receive a Best Actress nomination in the 1998 [[Asian Television Awards]] for ''Stand By Me''. Her performance in this drama had touched the hearts of many audience – since then, she has become a household name for numerous [[Singaporeans]]. Other award-winning lead roles other than the one in ''Stand By Me'' include ''Kelian'', where she played an old-fashioned and cowardly woman who was always being abused by her mother in ''[[Beautiful Connection]]'' (2002), and ''Lucky'', where she played a gambling addict in ''[[My Lucky Charm]]'' (2005).<ref name="tudou.com">{{Cite web| title = ''Huang Bi Ren's Best Actress 2005 speech''| publisher = Tudou.com| date = December 2005| url = http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/BHSurQQTZyE/| access-date = 24 February 2008| archive-date = 8 June 2008| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080608020855/http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/BHSurQQTZyE/| url-status = live}}</ref> She, [[Ivy Lee (actress)|Ivy Lee]] and [[Chen Liping]] are the only actresses to be crowned Best Actress three times at the in-house [[Star Awards]]. In 2003, Biren was nominated for the ''Best Drama Performance by an Actress'' award in the Asian Television Awards for her role in ''A Child's Hope''. In the same year, Huang was listed in ''People at The Peak – The Who's Who of Singapore''. Her name was once again listed in the second edition of the book, which was published in 2006. The books were sold globally. Since 2005, Biren has filmed an average of only one serial per year, compared to three drama series per year between 2002 and 2004. Rumours circulated that she feigned illness so that she need not take up roles that did not cast her in good light. Biren came out strongly against these rumours and attributed the drop in drama serials filmed to an [[asthma]] attack she suffered after filming ''[[The Undisclosed]]'', granting her medical leave for a period of a year.<ref name="chinapress">{{Cite web| title =''被指假病推戲黃碧仁喊冤''| publisher =ChinaPress.com| date =7 November 2006| url =http://www.chinapress.com.my/content.asp?dt=2006-11-08&sec=entertainment&art=1108en10.txt| url-status =dead| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20070929083739/http://www.chinapress.com.my/content.asp?dt=2006-11-08&sec=entertainment&art=1108en10.txt| archive-date =29 September 2007| df =dmy-all}}</ref><ref name="enettv">{{Cite web| title =''新傳媒資深花旦黃碧仁在熒幕上已經消失了整整一年''| publisher =e.nettv| date =24 March 2006| url =http://e.netandtv.com/newclub/ReadNews.aspx?bbsid=525&id=103066| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20071120130022/http://e.netandtv.com/newclub/ReadNews.aspx?bbsid=525&id=103066| url-status =dead| archive-date =20 November 2007}}</ref> Another reason cited by the local media was the media merger which took place in December 2004, which led to less dramas produced as competition from [[SPH MediaWorks]] ceased to exist. Biren did not film any serials in Year 2006. The suspense thriller ''The Undisclosed'', which was telecast in 2006, was filmed in 2005. Instead, she ventured into hosting or appeared as a guest in various variety shows. Though her drama serials reduced significantly, Biren was still able to maintain her popularity levels, as attested by her popularity award wins at the Star Awards ceremonies. In June 2007, Biren was chosen as one of the 10 TV mentors for the [[Star Search 2007]] Reality Talent Show contestants.<ref>{{Cite web| title = Huang Biren as Mentor in Star Search 2007| url = http://starsearch.mediacorptv.sg/mentors5.htm| publisher = MediaCorp Channel 8| date = 21 August 2007| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://archive.today/20120716154341/http://starsearch.mediacorptv.sg/mentors5.htm| archive-date = 16 July 2012}}</ref> In the same year, she was again nominated for the ''Best Actress'' award in the [[Asian Television Awards]] (ATA) and [[Star Awards 2007]] for her role as a fat, naggy and fierce housewife in ''[[Mars vs Venus|Mars VS Venus]]''. Though she did not manage to clinch both of the awards, she was tipped the hot favourite to win by many media, audience and industry watchers. After she lost the ATA ''Best Actress'' award to Filipino actress [[Gina Pareño]], Biren spoke to reporters from [[Channel News Asia]]: <blockquote> A nomination out of so many countries – you're talking about the whole of Asia – is already something to be proud of. So, I think it's already something that I feel is a great achievement. </blockquote> In the ''[[Star Awards 2007|Star Awards 25th Anniversary Show]]'', Biren won the coveted ''My Favourite Actress Award'', defeating hot favourites [[Zoe Tay]] and [[Fann Wong]]. She was the first female artiste to win this prestigious award, which was given out in commemoration of 25 Years of drama productions.<ref name="xin.sg">{{Cite web| title = ''Huang Bi Ren's Favourite Actress speech''| publisher = Xin.sg (Channel News Asia)| date = 9 December 2007| url = http://video2.channelnewsasia.com/cnavideos/chineseplayer.asp?skin=Player1.swf&player=chineseplayer.swf&filename=xin_121107_starhuangbiren.flv| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080205012050/http://video2.channelnewsasia.com/cnavideos/chineseplayer.asp?skin=Player1.swf&player=chineseplayer.swf&filename=xin_121107_starhuangbiren.flv| archive-date = 5 February 2008}}</ref> An interview conducted by ''8 Days'' magazine in November 2007 stated that Huang had been the lead actress in seven of the eleven dramas with the annual highest viewership since 1997. (''8 Days reference: 7 Nov'') ===Departure from MediaCorp=== On 4 August 2008, [[Mediacorp|MediaCorp]] released news that Huang has left the TV station on 30 June 2008. The main reasons for her leaving were disagreements with MediaCorp over the new contract terms offered to her; and she also wanted to spend more time with her family, especially her 5-month-old infant girl. She was last seen on television as a MediaCorp artiste on 11 July 2008, when she co-hosted an episode of ''Glamour Mum and the Dude'' alongside [[Bryan Wong]]. Huang was quoted as saying this to reporters, <blockquote> I thought about it (whether to renew her contract) even when I was (about to sleep) in bed... But when the time came to make the decision, I had to be firm.'' (Reference: The New Paper)'' </blockquote> Her decision to leave this industry was seen as a huge loss to [[Channel 8 (Singaporean TV channel)|MediaCorp Channel 8]] by both the audience and the TV station, as her drama serials have consistently achieved high viewership ratings and her acting skills were recognised by many. After the news was released, forums were abuzz with numerous discussions about this issue, and many questioned if Biren would still be able to receive the coveted ''All Time Favourite Award'' (an award given out in accumulation for winning the Top 10 award 10 times).<ref>{{Cite web|title = Actress Huang Biren quits MediaCorp over salary|url = http://www.asiaone.com/Just+Woman/News/Celebrities/Story/A1Story20080807-81142.html|publisher = AsiaOne Just Woman|date = 9 August 2008|url-status = dead|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080903112537/http://www.asiaone.com/Just+Woman/News/Celebrities/Story/A1Story20080807-81142.html|archive-date = 3 September 2008}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web| title = Biren has left MediaCorp!| url = http://www.mediacorptv.sg/en/buzzdetail/EDC080804-0000003| publisher = MediaCorp Channel 8| date = 4 August 2008| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080807214032/http://www.mediacorptv.sg/en/buzzdetail/EDC080804-0000003| archive-date = 7 August 2008}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web| title = 黄碧仁新约谈不拢 不当"超级红星"离开新传媒| url = http://www.zaobao.com/fk/fk080804_518.shtml |publisher = Lian He Zao Bao|date = 4 August 2008}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web| title = 黄碧仁 电视20年| url = http://www.zaobao.com/fk/fk080805_501.shtml|publisher = Lian He Zao Bao|date = 5 August 2008}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web| title = Huang Biren quits MediaCorp over pay| url = http://www.asiaone.com/Just%2BWoman/News/Celebrities/Story/A1Story20080807-81212.html| publisher = AsiaOne| date = 7 August 2008| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080811015507/http://www.asiaone.com/Just+Woman/News/Celebrities/Story/A1Story20080807-81212.html| archive-date = 11 August 2008}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web| title = 黄碧仁离开新传媒 观众反应强烈 网上批走宝| url = http://www.zaobao.com/fk/fk080808_515.shtml |publisher = Lian He Zao Bao|date = 8 August 2008}}</ref> Paul Chan, MediaCorp's Vice-President for Branding and Promotions, answered the query by saying that the company has not decided if Biren will be awarded as meetings with the Star Awards 2009 Committee have not been held yet. MediaCorp does not rule out future collaborations with her on a project basis. Huang was initially offered a role in the 2008 MediaCorp mega-blockbuster drama series, [[The Little Nyonya]]. As she decided not to renew her contract, the role was offered to [[Xiang Yun]] instead. On 31 October 2008, MediaCorp confirmed Huang would be receiving the coveted ''[[Star Awards for All-Time Favourite Artiste|All-Time Favourite Artiste]] Award'' at the Star Awards 2009. On 1 November 2008, Huang answered her supporters' queries if she would make a comeback, through telling reporters she has rejected some invitations from the TV Station to film dramas on a project basis. Biren was quoted as telling ''Shin Min Daily'', <blockquote> If I were to come back, the most important conditions are (quality of) the script, role, how much time is needed for filming, and my husband's support. Money isn't a problem. </blockquote> Huang was featured in the [[Straits Times]] Life! Monday Interview published on 3 November 2008.
