Edison Chen, the male lead in the celebrity sex pictures scandal, has announced that he will leave Hong Kong’s entertainment industry forever, after he has completed all his responsibilities.
Upon his return to Hong Kong, the actor-singer held a press conference to address the latest issues, which attracted herds of paparazzi.
