Controversy

Coming from a wealthy family, Juno was involved in a scandal involving the popular Jade Solid Gold music TV programme and chart in 2003. The Hong Kong anti-corruption organization, the ICAC, was brought in to investigate Juno's father, Clement Mak, for bribing Jade Solid Gold to improve his son's chart positions and to win awards.kklee105.com.

Juno Mak later reappeared as an artist of the small Silly Thing record company and has been trying to rebuild his career and image.
