Hong Kong super singer and movie star Edison Chen’s photo scandal has gone international. In Feb. 13th, The New York Times reported this news titled as “Internet Sex Video Case Stirs Free-Speech Issues in Hong Kong”.

Internet played an important role in this scandal as the suspect released all the nude photos and video online. People who got these photos and video then shared and discussed them in their own blogs, photo albums and chat rooms. All these added fuel to the fire.

The reaction of Edison Chen and other involved female celebrities was really disappointing. Gillian Chung was the first and only celebrity that stood out to face the media. “She neither confirmed nor denied that she appeared in the images, but she said she had been ‘naïve’ in her youth and regretted causing distress to her family and fans.” (from The New York Times). Naïve?! What a stupid and powerless excuse in this case. This can not help her to rebuild her reputation. Edison Chen was said still be in Boston but planned to return to Hong Kong this weekend to hold a news conference.

I’m so curious about how will Edison explain all the issues to the public. It is so obvious that he was the person who took all these photos and videos. If he still refuses to confirm this, the news conference would be no more than a fake show and the situation would go worse and worse.

My suggestion would be: be frankly with the scandal and make sincere apologize. Also, Edison’s PR Agency (if he has one) should consider taking some positive action on Internet rather than letting the nude photos and negative comments flowing everywhere. If it began on Internet, then let’s end it on Internet.
