Bobo Chan Man-woon (, born 18 September 1979) is a former Hong Kong singer, actress, and model. She was active in both film and television and is known for her Cantopop releases.
Life and Career
1999–2002: Early acting and Singing Debut
Bobo Chan made her first film appearance in 1999 with the movie Tempting Heart. In 2001, she debuted as a singer with her first album Shine. Between 2002 and 2003, she continued acting in films while building her Cantopop career with albums including Bounce (2002) and Graceful (2002).
2003–2005: Limited TVB Career
In 2003, Bobo Chan joined TVB on a limited project basis, appearing in several youth and romance-oriented television dramas, such as Hearts Of Fencing (2002) and Aqua Heroes (2003). Her TVB tenure lasted until 2005, during which she appeared in four major series. She did not sign a long-term management contract, instead working on a per-project basis.
2006–2008: Photo scandal and End of Career
After TVB, Bobo gradually reduced her acting engagements. In 2008, explicit photos involving Chan and Edison Chen were leaked online as part of the Edison Chen photo scandal. The scandal severely affected her public image, ended product endorsements, and caused her to withdraw from the entertainment industry. She temporarily relocated to the United States to avoid media scrutiny. Unlike other celebrities involved in the scandal, Bobo chose not to repair her career, permanently retiring from entertainment.
2009–Present: Retirement and Entrepreneurship
In 2009, Bobo officially retired and focused on business ventures, opening a crystal gem boutique, Crystal Jamming, in North Point, Hong Kong.
Bobo married a fellow member of her church on 26 November 2016 in To Kwa Wan and gave birth to a daughter in 2019. She maintains a private, low-profile family life.
