Gillian Chung -I was very naive and silly in the past, but I have grown up now
Canto pop singer Gillian Chung Yan-tung, one of the women in the recent celebrity sex photo scandal, broke her silence briefly on February 11th amid a gathering with her fans.
Chung said she regretted the impact that the incident has caused to society as a whole.
"I admit that I was very naive and silly in the past, but I have grown up now," Chung made the speech in the company of Charlene Choi Cheuk-yin, her singing partner in the pop duo "Twins".
"I want to thank my company, family and friends for their concern and support," Chung said.
She did not answer any media questions.
Chung is the second artist involved in the scandal to make a public statement over the incident. Edison Chen Kwoon-hei apologized for the incident through a video last Monday.
"I will continue to work and face my life in a positive manner," she said.
Her fans cheered after she finished the one-minute speech.
One of them said she has never seen the photos, while another said she would not leave the fan club.
Over the internet, however, Chung's speech has sparked frenzied discussion.
"The audiences are all naive too, we are deceived," said dd88_555, an online user, on the mainland forum "Tianya".
"Please don't focus on the scandal only. They (the celebrities) are also ordinary people. We should tolerate and help them resume normal life," Freeblueworld said.

"They are too young to understand this incident," she said. Ho's 10-year-old child never saw the photos.
Ho added while no single person should be held responsible for the incident, artists should pay more attention to their behavior.
Despite the arrest of the man who allegedly uploaded the photos last Monday, more photos were uploaded onto the internet. Seven females were identified, including Chen's girlfriend Vincy Yeung.
Mani Fok, manager of Chung
Mani Fok, manager of Chung, said the company Emperor Entertainment Group (EEG) and Chung would not respond to the incident in the future.
EEG initially claimed in a statement that the images featuring Chung were doctored.
The ninth arrest in relation to the posting of the photos has recently been made. The suspect, a 24-year-old man, was apprehended in Kowloon at 8:00am on Sunday. He was charged last night with distributing erotic photographs on the web and will appear in Kwun Tong Magistracy today
