}}Bobo Chan Man-woon (born 18 September 1979) is a former Hong Kong singer and model. She was also an actress in several film and TV-series.

Life and career

Bobo's first film role was in 1999's Tempting Heart. In 2001, she debut her first CD, titled Shine. Between 2003 and 2005, she joined TVB and was featured in four of their dramas before parting ways. In between 2005 and 2008, Bobo reduced her involvement with acting and focused on other projects until the infamous leak of Edison Chen's scandal photos affected her career.

Photo scandal

See main article: Edison Chen photo scandal. In January and February 2008, explicit photos were found online involving Chan and Edison Chen. Compromising pics of Bobo privately posing nude and performing fellatio for Edison were leaked over the internet. The scandal also involved Gillian Chung, Cecilia Cheung, and others.[1] The photos badly affected Bobo's career and personal life: strong public scrutiny, cancellation of media contracts, ending all product endorsements in her image, and the end of her engagement. Bobo went into seclusion along with those involved in the photos for over a year in hopes to return when public scrutiny has lessened. She traveled to the US for a time to avoid the media storm to find some peace; unfortunately, even after a year, it remained in public consciousness.

Retirement

Eventually, Gillian, Cecilia, and Edison successfully returned to the entertainment industry, however, Bobo never returned. Bobo decided to leave the entertainment industry and focus on managing a crystal gem shop, Crystal Jamming, in the summer of 2009. In a small public ceremony with some entertainment friends and press upon the opening of her crystal boutique in the North Point district of Hong Kong, she made it clear she would be leaving the entertainment industry to start a more quiet existence to avoid causing further trouble to the people closest to her.[2]

Personal life

She has been having an affair with Edison Chen since her debut, until mid-2004, when it was reported that the two broke up. Later, she dated the wealthy businessman Jin Ziyao, but they also broke up. By 2015, she fell in love with a social worker in the church who was three years younger than herself; the two got married on November 26, 2016, and had a big party in To Kwa Wan. Chan gave birth to a son in 2019, and the family of three lives a low-key life.[3]
