Edison Chen Quits Entertainment "Circle."
Glutter's Hong Kong.
Wah. www.8810903.com just announced that Edison Chen is going to quit the Entertainment "Circle." Poor guy. They are talking about it on RTHK Radio 1 as well. Maybe he will come to the US where people aren't so upset about grown people having sex..
I wonder what the whole statement is. They said he said he's really sorry for all the people who have hurt and that he is not a role model for the youth in HK.
Oh more importantly Mr. Ching Chong who was the HK journalist for Strait Times and was jailed for three years by the Chinese government will have a press conference in half an hour as well.
The radio hosts are saying that today there have been two really important press conference that can be summed up by a phrase. For Edison Chen, it's "Sorry" "Sorry to the family, Sorry to everyone" and for Mr. Ching Chong it's "Thank you." "Thank you for his family's support, the support of the city, and the government of HK helping his release, and the journalistic community for again, supporting his family and helping to secure his release.
--
I just heard it. Mainly Edison apologized to the "ladies" (Not the best choice of word I don't think), and their family, his own mother and father, and the WHOLE of HK society because he feels it's led the society astray... (Actually I can promise that most people had a rollicking good time downloading the photos.) and he's sorry he was unable to live up to his role as a role model which is what is expected of him in the HK entertainment industry and he's made the decision to leave the HK entertainment "Circle" after fulfilling his obligations.
Which means he's heading this way to Hollywood. He can now be the Asian version of Paris Hilton! This town loves it!

Between the two of us we got the entire conference, I could only watch it and watch others watch it. It's good to find out exactly what Edison said. You can absolutely link to my entry if you'd like.

I've just listened to it too! It sucks for him, but honestly I think the picture-taking was kind of pathological. Anyway here's the Youtube link of the conference - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewAKWEeC0IU - if you want it.

I personally think that edison is really a nice guy after knowing what was actually happening.....The society shouldn't have put a blame on him as most of the people now actually doing all these without knowing by other people. Maybe those who were watching the videos and pictures were among those who enjoyed doing these. Can;t the society think wisely and please don't just judge a person by this way. It's really unfair for edison as well. It's one's right to do anything that he likes to do. and now, the society had ruined his future or maybe reputation. Try to locate yourself on his position, you might hope that the society would have given you one more chance to do it right from wrong, don;t you? :D

Yup. I so agree. It's awful really. He didn't actually do anything wrong. It was dumb but not wrong.
