Suspected erotic pictures of Edison Chan, Gillian Chung, Bobo Chan and Cecilia Cheung are circulating on the internet. The events are becoming more heated. There are debates about authenticity, and manipulation of the pictures from the start. Yesterday, the debate’s topic changed. Traditional family views like Virginia Lok who reminded people to not be blinded by love or foolish (headstrong) because it will be too late to regret it in the future. Modern mom, Prudence Lau said that you need to focus in the midst of passion. If a partner takes out a camera, she will kick them out.

Virginia Lok: It doesn’t matter if you are female or male artistes, you need to know how to protect yourself. You need to know how to choose you friends when you are older. Most importantly, you need to know when to say no! It is alright for younger people to relax so you need to have self-control. Artistes under her management will “submit a report” to her if there is a problem. It is unfortunate if their image or career is damaged. She said: “It’s bad to use your camera phone to frivolously take pictures or go onto the internet. Don’t be blinded by love. Don’t think that you can keep your partner by your side if you do as they want. Do not be foolish or else you may regret it in the future.”

Stephen Chan: The workers in the artistes’ department will give a lot of advice to female artistes. We will take legal action if our company’s female artistes are involved in the nude picture scandals. I did not view those pictures and I don’t believe that it is real. I hope that people that have viewed the pictures would not transfer/send it to other people. Do not help this harmful trend out.

Prudence Lau: I am an open-minded mom. I have no problem talking about love and sex but I have no interest in taking intimate pictures. When you are “doing it”, you need to focus. Who would want to take out their camera to take pictures? If I found out that my partner took out a camera, I would kick him out. There are some abnormal people out there. Even though I am open-minded but I won’t take intimate pictures. I don’t know if the nude pictures that are rocking the entertainment circle are real or not. But I feel bad for the people involved in the scandal.

Carl Ng: I feel that the people who were photographed and had the pictures taken and made public are foolish. The pictures are too obvious and I hope the pictures are fakes. Or else, Hong Kong will have its’ own version of Paris Hilton. I am not interested (in taking intimate pictures) because I am impatient. In that situation, I would not have time to set up the camera to take the pictures.

Bernice Liu: Would you take pictures when you and your boyfriend are in the midst of passion? It’s my privacy. There is no need to publicly talk about it. I believe that it is unimportant if the photos are fakes. This will have a negative affect on the younger generation so this trend needs to be stop.

Linda Chung: This will never happen to me because I won’t let my boyfriend take those pictures. If he suggests it, I would turn around and leave. I am careful when I take pictures with others so people won’t have anything bad to say.

Sonija Kwok: The nude photo scandal happened on the same day as 羅苼 was drunk and disorderly. I was paying attention to that news so I didn’t read about the nude photo scandal. I only have pictures of my dogs and cats on my phone. I won’t have pictures of guys. This way, I won’t be in trouble if I lost the phone.

Yumiko Cheng believed from the start that pictures, containing a person who looks like Gillian, are fakes. Yesterday, reporters again asked if she thought the pictures were real or fake. Yumiko did not comment. The reporter asked if the artistes should show more restraint. She again did not answer. Yumiko only said that she hopes this scandal/trend will die down. She fully supports her friends. Gillian may look fragile on the outside but she is a very strong person on the inside. But Yumiko did not contact Gillian because she wants Gillian to be able to have some peace and quiet.

Jay Chou: I know that there is a “Nude picture” scandal happening in Hong Kong. It’s horrific. I can’t believe that there is such a hacker. It is very unfair to artistes. You can’t say with confidence that these pictures were manipulated. So it is very worrisome for artistes. I didn’t call Edison because I don’t want to affect him. I think a lot of people have called him already. I feel very stunned about all that happened.
