...music-chart show, the ICAC launched a full-scale investigation of Hong Kong's entertainment world last Wednesday and has since arrested some 28 industry bigwigs. Those arrested include singer Juno Mak; his father Clement Mak, the chairman of CCT Telecom, which owns Mak's management company, Mellow Studio; Alex Chan, the president of Mak's record label, Universal Music Hong Kong; three staff members of local broadcaster TVB; and Albert Yeung, the founder of Emperor Entertainment Group.
