Gillian Chung biography
Gillian Chung has a twin.
A twin band member that is.
In 2001, she was approached by Emperor Entertainment Group to form a singing Cantopop group. The name Twins was suggested so Chung went with that and formed a partnership with Charlene Choi, someone she is not related to.
The name had a strange effect on their fans as they claimed not to be able to tell them apart when they first started touring.
But as time wore on, that phenomenon ended as Chung and her partner were showing distinctly different personalities.
Movies were not apart of Chung's portfolio until 2002 when she starred in UMan. Since that film, she has been in many others including ones that have won her critical acclaim. She even has been praised for her martial arts ability.
Films that have come out since then have helped Chung secure a loyal fan base who was taken aback by headlines in 2006 when the Hong Kong tabloid magazine Easy Finder published a series of photos of Chung inside a changing room after one of her concerts. The pictures were apparently taken while she was with her personal assistant. One of the photos showed the back view of Chung as she is fixing her bra backstage. Another one showed her unclad from her shoulders down to her bust level. Hong Kong celebrities like Jackie Chan were outraged by this incident and started a public protest denouncing the magazine's actions.
That same year, Easy Finder lost its appeal against an obscenity ruling on the published article and pictures. The Hong Kong Television and Entertainment Licensing Authority reported it received 2,875 complaints regarding the photos, and the incident was referred to the Obscene Articles Tribunal for further action. The magazine ended up having to publicly apologize for its actions.
In January and February 2008 sexually explicit photos of Edison Chen with a number of Hong Kong starlets were released online. The scandal involved Chung, as well as Bobo Chan and Cecilia Cheung amongst others.[17] These tarnished her "squeaky-clean image",[18] and she apologized to the public for being naive and silly.[19] Her subsequent TV appearance on Jade Solid Gold triggered over 500 complaints to TVB, while Hong Kong Broadcasting Authority received over 1200. Other promotion events were cancelled.
Chung resides in Hong Kong's affluent district Midlevels with her younger sister.
