  "account": "Steven Cheung, the 41-year-old singer, regrets borrowing money to support his family of six, which includes four children. Following a 2019 scandal where he married his wife, Au Yin Man, while still dating actress April Leung, Cheung has been working various odd jobs to make ends meet. These jobs include working in construction, laying cable wiring, and distributing flyers. In a recent interview, Cheung emphasized his primary goal of providing his family with a stable life and a happy childhood. He admitted to making poor decisions in the past, such as borrowing money without a clear repayment plan, and even described himself as \"semi-useless\" at times. Cheung struggled to solve his own problems, but he rejected claims of being \"shameless,\" stating that he only sought help after exhausting all other options. He expressed that he had to do whatever it took to provide for his children. Looking forward, Cheung is committed to avoiding past mistakes and finding better ways to earn an honest living. He plans to cut back on daily expenses to keep his family on budget.",
