The Straits Times
|September 25, 2025
Hong Kong singer William So, whose concert in Wenzhou, China, scheduled for early October was recently axed due to a drug scandal in 2002, has broken his silence after a week.
“Please allow me to sincerely apologise again,” he wrote in Chinese on social media on Sept 23. “Because of a mistake I made 23 years ago, I’ve recently again used up some public resources, causing everyone to expend their energy on it. 1am sorry.”
So, who turned 58 on Sept 24, was arrested in 2002 for taking Ecstasy pills at a pub in Taipei and was later sentenced to Il days of drug rehabilitation.
“1 deeply understand that the stain of a mistake can never be erased,” he wrote. “I have never tried to forget it, but I often think of it to remind myself to be good in every step of my life.
“Jalso hope that through my mistake and its consequences, everyone will reflect on the fact that we cannot live our life over again and that we must be careful in both our words and actions.”
