BEIJING- A Taiwanese actor detained with the son of Hong Kong movie star Jackie Chan for drugs offences in Beijing was released Friday and held a press conference to apologise tearfully for his crimes.
Kai Ko, 23, was held in a police swoop two weeks ago as Beijing cracks down on drugs in a wider war on excess - and had already been paraded weeping on national television following his arrest. ‘In the future every day (I) will slowly mature and this will be an ugly scar I will bear,’ he said at Friday’s press conference, tears glistening on his face as his lips trembled.
‘Sorry everyone, sorry to all. I am the worst, most harmful role model,’ Ko added, fiddling with a handkerchief amid the sound of flashing cameras.
