CHUNG APOLOGISES OVER NUDE PHOTO SCANDAL
Hong Kong pop star GILLIAN CHUNG has broken her silence to apologise for a naked photo scandal which has left her clean-cut image in tatters.
The singer, 27, who performs in pop duo Twins with bandmate Charlene Choi, has spoken out for the first time since pictures allegedly showing her with male star Edison Chen naked in bed together were leaked online last month (Jan08).
And Chung has put her embarrassing moment down to her inexperience in dealing with fame.
She says, "I admit that I was naive and very silly, but I’ve grown up now. I want to thank my company, family and friends for their concern.
"As for the influence this incident has had on society, I apologise. In the coming days I will continue to focus on my work and face up to my life." The apology comes just days after Chung’s record company, Emperor Entertainment Group, insisted in a statement the pictures had been digitally altered.
Police are currently investigating the incident, in which over 1300 images of celebrities had been stolen from a computer, purported to belong to Chen. Eight people have so far been arrested for infringement of obscene material laws.
