Apparently it is the latest trend for Hong Kong artists to share their videos on a new application called "Viddy", and it was reported that playboy Edison Chen has been building a relationship with another young actress, Janice Man through that video application.
Recently, a Hong Kong gossip magazine uncovered Edison Chen's intention of making friends with girls via the video sharing application on "Viddy" and he was able to get cosy with "Turning Point 2: Laughing Gor Returns" actress, Janice Man, who claimed herself as a new fan of "Viddy" in her recent Weibo post.
Last October, intimate pictures of Chen and an underage model, Cammi Tse were found on the internet. The 16-year-old model said that she had sexual relationship with the "Initial D" actor, but no action was taken regarding the matter.
In 2008, Chen was involved in an infamous sex scandal as photos of him and his former girlfriends including Hong Kong female stars like Gillian Chung , Bobo Chan, Mandy Chen, Vincy Yeung and Cecilia Cheung were widely circulated on the Internet.
Chen is apparently also the infamous cause of breakup between Hong Kong power couple Cecilia Cheung and Nicholas Tse .

His native language is English, he is able to speak and sing Cantonese and Mandarin and also speaks conversational Japanese, which allows him to be a part of multiple entertainment industries around the world. On 21 February 2008 he publicly announced that he intended to step away "indefinitely" from the Hong Kong entertainment industry due to the sex photo scandal in 2008. However, he returned to the industry in 2010 and he stated "indefinitely" could mean 5 minutes or 2000 years.

2008 Photo scandal
Main article: Edison Chen photo scandal
In January 2008, Chen was involved in a widely publicized sex scandal when sexually explicit nude photographs of himself taken four years earlier became widely circulated on the Internet. Celebrities implicated in the scandal included Gillian Chung, Bobo Chan, Mandy Chen, Candice Chan, Rachel Ng and Cecilia Cheung. Nude photos of Edison's current girlfriend, Vincy Yeung, were also made public and the future of their relationship was the subject of intense media gossip.
Hong Kong police have stated that they confiscated a collection of sex-related photos that involve 6 other identifiable females and other unidentifiable males.
Initially the authenticity of the photos was denied, and digital manipulation was used as the primary explanation for the pictures. However, Hong Kong police and Photoshop experts argued that the photos were in fact real and not digitally altered. This brought about a serious reaction towards all parties involved in the scandal. As a result, Chen indirectly admitted his role and expressed remorse and subsequently announced his indefinite departure from the Hong Kong entertainment industry at a press conference.
Due to the scandal, the Google search engine rankings for 2008 resulted in Chen's Chinese name being the number 1 search term in China, and number 3 in Taiwan. Chen was runner-up to US president-elect Barack Obama in the Hong Kong Person of 2008 poll by government-run RTHK radio, with just under 30 percent of votes in the Person of the Year. On June 1, 2009, Chen spoke openly about the sex photo scandal for the first time since the scandal broke in an interview with TalkAsia on CNN. In the interview he reveals his side of the scandal and how he endured criticisms from the public, the media, and from the individuals affected by the case.
