Edison Chen announces his exit from Hong Kong showbiz!

Update: In the aftermath, Hong Kong police visited Edison’s home yesterday evening to gather evidence as he surrendered his computer equipment.

The man behind the nude photos scandal, Edison Chen accompanied by East Asia Music boss, Peter Lam flew back to Hong Kong via Philippines at 10am this morning. His immediate destination upon arrival was Kowloon police station.

He held a press conference at 3pm in Kowloon World Trade Centre and just like what Gillian did earlier, he only read a statement in english (chinese translation would be given to the media) and did not answer any questions.

Comes with chinese dubbing unfortunately, but you can still hear Edison…
