William Chak (翟威廉) is well known since he participated in 2010 Mr. Hong Kong, but besides being known in Mr. Hong Kong, he is also well known internationally. In the past, William studied in Japan and South Korea, proficient in Japanese and can also communicate in Korean. It is less well known that he did some acting in Japan.
At the age of 18 when he went to Japan to study, and became a member in a Japanese variety show. He recently accepted an interview with hk01 and shared that he once wanted to have a career in the Japanese entertainment industry. He also explained why he decided to come back to Hong Kong. He said: "At that time it was difficult to have a career in Japan because I am foreigner. It's just like Hong Kong we have Brian Burrell (布偉傑) and other foreigner actors and actresses. They may be special, but there isn't much career development for them in the industry. I think as an artiste, you need to show a lot of your skills. Even if you can speak Japanese fluently in Japan, it is also a problem because there is an accent. I couldn't have a mc job and the only thing left for me was comedy".
It would be common to have a Japanese girlfriend while studying in Japan right? William of course did not deny and revealed he dated a Japanese girl for 5 years. What do you need to do if you want a Japanese girlfriend? William said: "You first need to learn your Japanese. Some people say you can ask the girl to teach you Japanese, but this does not work. You must learn to speak the language first. If you don't do these things, there is no way to maintain the relationship and it will never work out. Second is the heart and Japanese people are well known to their customs. It is important to understand Japan's culture, for example how to greet certain people you meet. Even if your Japanese isn't that good, but your actions is important to their customs and culture. It can be difficult for us because Hong Kong's customs and culture is very different to Japan. For example, saying hello and greeting someone of different ages, or someone who is higher than you in terms of work. These type of things takes a lot of time to master". William said he rarely had the nightlife time whilst studying in Japan. He promised to himself that he would not have nightlife time until he reaches 28 years old. However, now he would go out with friends for a drink. He also joked that if your single, you have more nightlife time with friends, but currently he has no time to hang out with friends.
Besides looking for a Japanese girlfriend, William also knows how to invest on an apartment in Japan because he does own one in Japan and is currently renting it out. Although all the apartments has been bought now, but he often helps out business people and friends looking for an apartment to buy.
