Gillian Chung Most Grateful for Charlene Choi’s Support


Since resuming work after a 1 year hiatus due to the nude photo scandal, Gillian Chung has faced numerous challenges. Gillian filmed an interview for mainland program “Behind the Story” 《背後的故事》.

Originally, the first part of the program was slated to air on March 29th. However the broadcast date has now been postponed, stirring rumors that the mainland audience was not ready for Gillian’s come-back due to her scandalous photos.

The Hunan Satellite TV explained that the official documents for the program have not been received, thus the air date has been scheduled for April 12th. Due to the lengthy content, the interview will be aired in two separate parts.

The interview focuses mainly on Gillian’s return to work and her feelings towards Twins partner, Charlene Choi. Gillian’s role in “Mei Lan Fang” 《梅蘭芳》was reduced and several other advertisers cancelled their contracts. Perhaps they were afraid that Gillian’s endorsement would affect the brand’s image.

These obstacles made Gillian question whether she could continue on. Gillian distanced herself from other people and no one could find her. She received daily SMS text messages from friends, showing their concern that Gillian might commit suicide. Her friends hoped that she would feel a little happier.

Gillian was most grateful towards Charlene’s unwavering support. Despite Gillian’s photo scandal, Charlene never abandoned her and requested to go solo for her career. Although some fans threatened to boycott Charlene’s CDs if she continued to cooperate with Gillian, Charlene did not change her mind. Charlene told Gillian, “I will wait for you. Please do not give up!” It was through Charlene’s support that Gillian is able to continue on.
