“Throughout the 16 years of SEVVA’s existence, we have encountered numerous challenges and moments of joy,” Gokson shared as she took the stage. “I would like to extend my gratitude to all our customers, loyal staff, and friends who have believed in me and supported us, enabling SEVVA to become a landmark social and entertainment destination in Hong Kong and for international guests. While bidding farewell is bittersweet, we take pride in reflecting on past accomplishments and remaining open to new creative directions. SEVVA will forever reside in our memories. Thank you once again for your unwavering support and love.”

As we bid adieu, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house — only smiles, laughter, and another memory at SEVVA to hold dear to our hearts.
