Leaving ATV for TVB, William Chak swept the awards at the Mr. Hong Kong 2010 Contest on August 21st. The competition became a “personal show” for William, who won the Mr. Hong Kong 2010 title, as well as the Mr. Vitality, Mr. Charming, and Contestant Most Noticed by Online Fans Awards.

Prior to the evening of the Mr. Hong Kong 2010 Contest, William also won several sponsor awards at the contest’s promotional events, such as Contestant with Most Charm, Mr. Energetic, Tourism Ambassador Award, and Contestant with Most Financial Talent Awards. Returning home in the AM hours on Sunday morning after winning the Mr. Hong Kong 2010 title, Willilam hugged his mother joyfully to celebrate his victory. William’s brother uploaded their photos to share their joy with family and friends.

Hosted Children’s Program at ATV

Twenty-five year-old William comes from a middle class family and lives in the Diamond Hill area. After resting for one night, William went shopping with his elder brother. The two men entered a piano store to look at an electronic keyboard. Mindful of their expenditures, the brothers only bought some cold drinks at McDonald’s and the returned home.

Although William won all four awards distributed on the evening of the Mr. Hong Kong 2010 Contest, the total prize money was approximately $30,000 (HKD).  William was the Second Runner-up in ATV’s 2005 Mr. Asia Contest. He worked at ATV for four years and hosted children’s program, Brainy E Class <有腦 E班>. His monthly income at ATV was approximately $10,000 (HKD). He should have better opportunities at TVB now.

TVB Deputy Director of External Affairs, Tsang Sing Ming said, “TVB may not necessarily sign a contract with the Mr. Hong Kong winner; it depends on the results of their screen test and the candidate’s personal aspirations. However, there is a high possibility that we will offer a contract to William Chak.”

Two years ago, William Chak left ATV after limited career opportunities. Although William dated ATV’s Miss Asia 2007 Second Runner-up, Stacey Sun Chen, this did not deter him from leaving ATV after his contract expired. Afterwards, William took classes overseas and returned to enter TVB’s Mr. Hong Kong 2010 Contest.

Jayne: William Chak’s experience in competing in the Mr. Asia contest and his four years at ATV definitely gave him an advantage over other candidates. He certainly knows how to carry himself and respond to the media’s questions.The fact that he swept all awards in this year’s Mr. Hong Kong 2010 Contest shows a lot. Hopefully TVB will promote William. I think he is a cross between Michael Miu and Leon Lai.
