Background
Gillian Chung had also worked as a part-time model during one of her summer vacations in Hong Kong. Similar to her
erstwhile partner, Charlene Choi was also a part-time model who had appeared in several advertisements. She became famous after her participation in the Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) television program Y2K. Both caught the attention of EEG manager Mani Fok (霍汶希).[2] They subsequently auditioned for and later formed the duo known as "Twins".
Singing duo
After the pop duo was formed, Twins started their career in the summer of 2001, and was recognized
for the song "明愛暗戀補習社". They initially collaborated with MSN to make personal pages and web games.Their first 2001 EP Twins (AVEP) went platinum in its first week of sales.During their first two years, Twins released 3 EPs and 3 albums, all of which sold very well. Most of their songs stayed at the top of many different musical charts
for several weeks.
Twins had their first concert in 2002 and three more in 2003, one of which was held in Guangzhou. Between 2001 and 2003, they received a total of 72 total awards.By 2003, they have received a large
number of awards from the four major Hong Kong media organizations of RTHK, Commercial Radio Hong Kong, Metro Radio and TVB.
At the 2006 Hong Kong Entertainment Awards ceremony Choi tearfully acknowledged that there have been criticisms of the Twins' singing abilities
and that she hoped that they could better improve in the coming year.
In February 2007, they celebrated their sixth year together in the Hong Kong music industry. They released a special Sixth Anniversary New + Best Selection CD/DVD. In September of the same year,
