HONG KONG - CANTOPOP duo Twins will stage their comeback concert in April, two years after member Gillian Chung took a hiatus following her involvement in the Edison Chen sex photo scandal.
In its latest issue, Ming Pao Weekly said Chung and bandmate Charlene Choi are also preparing a new record in addition to the Hong Kong Coliseum concert.
The reunion comes after Choi was forced to go it alone in her career in the last two years, during which rumours of Twins disbanding were rampant.
In comments carried by websites including Netease, the two alluded to the scandal that saw racy pictures of stars, including Chung and Cecilia Cheung, having sex with Chen leaked on the Internet.
Choi said the concert, which will mark the 10th anniversary of her friendship with Chung, was actually planned for 2008. 'Things happened and it was delayed. It'll be a waste not to stage it,' she said.
The concert will have 'bouncing back' as a theme, it was reported.
Said Chung: 'Life poses many different tests. I now take things easy. I no longer think about unhappy stuff. We want to show that you can stand up during adversity and bounce back even further than before.'
Finally Hong Kong Cantopop girl group Twins are back together.
They will step into the Hong Kong Coliseum for a comeback concert this April after two years hiatus since 2007 in the wake of member Gillian Chung's (also known as Ah Jiao) involvement in a nude photo scandal.
This year also marks the Twins' 10th anniversary. Their upcoming concert will center on a "bouncing back" theme and posters of it are shot with a rock-and-roll flair.
Speaking of this positive theme, Gillian said, "There are many different obstacles in life; I have already seen through these and will not think about unhappy things. Through our actions, we hope to prove that humans are not only capable of rising from their downfalls, but are able to bounce back even higher than before."
The scandal saw racy photos of celebrities including Chung and actress Cecilia Cheung engaging in sexual activities with Hong Kong actor Edison Chen leaked onto the Internet in 2008.
This prompted Chung to go on hiatus and Chen to announce in a video message that he was "stepping away indefinitely" from showbiz.
Chung's partner Charlene Choi had no choice but to go solo when Chung announced she was taking a break two years ago, amidst rumours that Twins was breaking up.
Choi told reporters at a prize presentation ceremony on Saturday night that she was looking forward to their reunion concert.
"This concert is actually the one that was cancelled two years ago; I'm looking forward to it. It is especially significant since it will mark the 10th anniversary of Twins. I hope it will be a wild concert. We have already recorded the theme song and a slow song for the concert," said Choi.
The duo is also reportedly preparing to release a new album with "bouncing back" as the theme and have shot the promotional poster for it.
"Life poses many different tests. I have taken it all in my stride and I don't want to think about unhappy things. Our actions will prove that people can stand up during adversity and bounce back even further than before," explained Chung.
