Chen Guanxi had nowhere to escape. This was his story, and also his accident. In the past 20 days, the bombshell he dropped in the entertainment circle has caused countless huge waves. Admitting that the "sexy photos" were real, as well as reflecting on them and apologizing, even including announcing a complete exit from Hong Kong's entertainment industry, all of this was reasonable and expected. But does his appearance mean the end of the entire "Sexy Photo Scandal"? Not necessarily.
Firstly, from the perspective of media communication, although the two main parties involved, Chen Guanxi and Charmaine Sheh, have both appeared to give an account to the public, they were merely talking to themselves without giving anyone the opportunity for dialogue. Even if we assume that Chen Guanxi will truly leave the entertainment industry, other people involved in the scandal have already resumed work low-key or are still avoiding the public eye. As long as they remain in the industry, responding to the scandal will be an issue they cannot avoid.
