Today, I come back to Hong Kong to stand before you and account for myself. I have never escaped from my responsibility. During the past few weeks, I have been with my mother and my family and loved ones to show support and care, and at the same time have them support and care for me.
I admit that most of the photos being circulated on the internet were taken by me. But these photos were very private and have not been shown to people and were never intended to be shown to anyone. These photos were stolen from me illegally and distributed without my consent. There is no doubt whoever obtained these photos had been uploading them on the internet with malicious and deliberate intent.
This matter has deteriorated to the extent that society as a whole has been affected by this. And in this regard, I'm deeply saddened.
I would like now to apologise to all the people for all the suffering that has been caused and problems that have arisen from this.
I would like to apologise to all the ladies and to all their families for any harm or hurt that they have been feeling. I'm sorry.
I would also like to apologise to my mother and my father for the pain and the suffering that I have caused them during these past few weeks.
Most importantly, I'd like to say sorry to all the people of Hong Kong. I give my apologies sincerely to you, unreservedly, and with my heart. (agreement)(with ALL my heart)
I know young people in Hong Kong look up to many figures in our society. And in this regard, I failed as a role model.
However, I hope this matter will teach everyone a lesson. To all the young people and our community, let this be a lesson for you all. This is not an example to be set for you.
During my time away, I have made an important decision. I will wholeheartedly fulfil all the commitments that I have to date, but after that, I have decided to step away from the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
I decided to do this to give myself an opportunity to heal myself and to search my soul.
I will dedicate my time to charity and community work within the next few months.
I will be away from Hong Kong entertainment indefinitely.
There is no time frame.
I have been assisting the police since the first day the photos were published and I will continue to assist them. After this press conference, I have obligations to help them with their investigations, and hope this case can end soon, as everyone, I think, has the same wish.
I would like to use this opportunity to thank the police for their hard work on this case. Thank you.
I believe everyone's priority now, my priority now, is to stop the suffering and pain. You do not want to let this situation become out of control.
We need to protect all the innocent and all the young from matters like this.
In this regard, I have instructed my lawyer to do everything possible within the law to protect all the innocent victims of this case.
I believe that a press statement is being issued as we speak, on what my lawyer has advised me to do.
Lastly, I would like to thank everyone for coming here today and listening to what I have to say.
I would like to also apologise, once again, to all the ladies and their families, my family, and to everyone in Hong Kong and everyone in our society. I'm deeply saddened by this. And I apologise to everyone who has to go through this.
I'd also like to thank you for giving me this opportunity to say what I wanted to say all along in my heart. I hope that after today I can have your forgiveness.
With regards to this case, and everything that has happened, I'm deeply sorry.
I hope you all will accept my apology and give me a chance.
Thank you.
