In 2018, Fung officially joined Media Asia Music. The following year, he launched the "Voice navigation" (聲音導航) to lead music fans to escape from the hustle and bustle;[8]"Backwoods" (山旮旯, tentative name)[further explanation needed] teaches people to love in time[9][10]"Full Moon Party" has a strong folk jazz style;[11] The MV of "Finding for Buckingham" was filmed in Vladivostok, Russia, and Feanna Wong Shuk Man was invited to sing "Finding Buckingham: You're My Buckingham" to express the feeling of waiting for the lover to come to shore.[12] The four songs are included in the EP "Detour" released in 2020,[13] the EP also became one of the top ten local albums selected by the editors of the streaming music platform KKBOX.[14]
In 2020, in addition to "Detour" at the beginning of the year, Fung also released his second EP "Awaken" at the end of the year. The latter includes four station champion songs "Last 7 Days" (開始倒數) and "Beyond the Stars" (地球來的人), which have a stronger science fiction element, telling the story of the end of the world and human migration to other planets, so the cover design of "Awaken" also has a futuristic feel.[15] "Beyond the Stars" was selected by KKBOX editors as one of the top ten local songs of the year,[16] it also won the "Best Song" award at the Metro Hot Awards 2020[17] and 2020 903 Music Awards ranked fifth in the "Professional Recommendation. 903 Top Ten".

Among the three songs, "Missing Somebody" became the champion song of four stations (903, RTHK. 997, and ViuTV); at the end of the year, it won the "Best Song" at the New Town Hot Awards 2021, and became one of the top ten local singles selected by the KKBOX editors of the year.[23] "LIFE / LINE" is also one of the top ten local albums carefully selected by KKBOX editors.[24] Fung won the silver award for "Singer-Songwriter of the Year" in the Chill Club Recommendation Chart Annual Recommendation 21/22, and won the gold award for "Hong Kong Gold Songs CASH Songwriter" at the Hong Kong Gold Songs Awards 2021/2022.
