The entire interview of Edison Chen with the CNN was broadcasted by Hong Kong TV stations, and more new content was revealed. He confessed that the indecent photos were taken before 2004, when he was already in love with his girlfriend, Yang Yongqing. After learning about it, his girlfriend asked him to delete the photos.
"Back then, I was naive and innocent"
Regarding the motive for taking "indecent photos", Edison Chen explained it as youthful ignorance and arrogance, "When you are young, you do things that you don't even understand yourself. You just think it's fun, a lot of things went too far, very wild, without considering the consequences." He said that he had stopped taking indecent photos long ago, "Those photos were taken before 2004, and they surfaced in 2008. Everyone thought that was who Edison Chen was, but that was the old Edison Chen." He emphasized that he did not want to apologize on the phone because it would seem insincere, "If we can sit down and have an open conversation like adults, I will be straightforward." However, he also expressed that from the performance of the victim actresses in the interviews, he did not think that both sides could have a constructive conversation.
