Biography
Gillian Chung is a Hong Kong pop singer and actress. She resides in the affluent Midlevels district in Hong Kong with her younger sister. Standing at just over five feet tall, Chung is a graduate of the Kowloon True Light Middle School and attended RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. While at RMIT, she also worked as a part-time model.
In 2001, Chung was approached by Emperor Entertainment Group to form a singing group, Twins, with Charlene Choi, to whom she is not actually related. Initially, people did have difficulty telling the two apart, but they have since developed their own distinct personalities.[citation needed]
Photographic incident
On August 22, 2006, Hong Kong tabloid magazine Easy Finder published a series of photos [2] of Chung inside a changing room after a Twins concert at the Arena of Stars in Genting, Malaysia.[3] The pictures were taken while she was in the changing room with her personal assistant. One of the cover photos shows Chung's bare back as she is fixing her bra backstage. Her breasts are not revealed. A second, smaller cover photo shows Chung undressed and naked from the shoulder up. The headline read, ¡°Ah Gil releases bra near back window", using Chung's Chinese nickname.[4] Hong Kong celebrities such as Jackie Chan staged a public protest denouncing the magazine's irresponsible actions. [5] [6]
On November 1, 2006, Easy Finder lost its appeal against an obscenity ruling on the published article and pictures [7]. The Hong Kong Television and Entertainment Licensing Authority received 2875 complaints regarding the revealing photos and the incident was referred to the Obscene Articles Tribunal for further action.[8] In the appeal, a panel consisting of one Magistrate and four lay members, upheld the judgement, branding the article obscene, and saying it was a "calculated act of selling sexuality which is corrupting and revolting" [9]. During an interview of Jimmy Lai (founder of Next Media, Easy Finder's publisher) on the television show 'Be My Guest', he apologized to Gillian and claimed that he will return all the negatives of the photos. [10]. Despite his apologetic actions, Gillian Chung still intends to sue the magazine.
