==Introduction==

(contracted; show full)

Another similar incident was when the artist [[Yumiko Cheng|Yumiko]] was shooting her music video.  A group of men appeared and demanded a "protection fee."  Yumiko called a third party, to which a van full of men appeared, where the original transgressors promptly left. 

During the summer of 2003, EEG came under investigation by the 
[[ICAC]]. It was charged that EEG paid off the top management of TVB for referrential treatment of a number of its artists as well as billboard positions on the show "Jade Solid Gold." (Drake, 2003)  Among those invited to help with the investigation was Albert Yeung, the majority shareholder of EEG, Alex Chan, the head of Universal Music Hong Kong, Clement Mak, the chairman off CCT Telecom, and his son Juno Mak, a singer.  Several of the stars, including Eason Chan, Joey Yung and Nicholas Tse were also brought in. Later on, twenty-two people were arrested, including "two senior executives and an employee of a broadcasting company; a chairman, two senior staff members and an employee of an entertainment company; a chairman, a senior vice-president and a singer of a records company, five company directors and seven individuals. (Ng, 2003)"   Among those were Clement Mak, Juno Mak, Albert Yeung, Alex Chan.
Later on, ICAC proved that EEG has nothing to do with it, and all of its artists (including the Hong Kong Queen of Music: Joey Yung) innocent. ICAC has also apologized to the public.
