Unless you were not in Asia last week, you probably heard of the Edison Chen’s photo scandal that is sweeping Asia like a tsunami. In short, Hong Kong actor Edison Chen’s PC was damaged last year so he sent it in for repair. Unfortunately for him, the repairman at the PC shop found 1000+ nude/sexually suggestive photos in the PC.
It seems Edison has been a very bad boy and liked to film his conquests. And what conquests they were! Hong Kong pop idol Gillian Chung, Hong Kong actress Cecilia Cheung, retired actress Bobo Chan are just some of the names currently embroiled in the embarrassing sex photo scandal. The repairman showed and sent the photos to his friends, and before you know it, it’s on the internet and the biggest scandal to hit Hong Kong for years.
Everyone is talking about it, so this is my take.
First off: Whoever is in charge of the PR for Emperor Entertainment Group, fire the man. When the photos first surfaced 2 weeks ago, Emperor Entertainment Group (Gillian Chung’s management company) strongly denied the photos were real. Photoshop was a word widely used then. Before you can blink, the police were involved and what was a small wave turned into the tsunami it is now. It would have much better if they had kept quiet, because now they have no credibility at all. No matter what they say now, no one will believe a word of it.
Secondly: Edison Chen needs to go back to Hong Kong. Chen left Hong Kong soon after the photos were leak, and that just made him look like an ass and a coward to boot. He may have apologized in a video statement last week but he needs to be in Hong Kong to face the music or the public aren’t going to forgive him. One public apology in person beats a hundred apologies on video. I mean compare his actions with Gillian Chung. She apologized publicly in Hong Kong for the photos in front of 100 reporters. And where is Edison? Whereas the female celebrities stayed in Hong Kong and carry the can (Gillian’s clean image is kaput, Cecilia’s marriage is on the rocks, Bobo’s wedding is called off), Edison ran to somewhere in America. Does that sound right to you?
Get your ass back to Hong Kong, Edison! The earlier you face the music, the quicker everything will go away.

Edison will be back to Hong Kong on the coming Saturday as the news said.
Hopefully it's not too late to save what's left of his career. He shouldn't have left in the first place.
