Sun Boyz

WARNING: This is not Sun Boy'z!!! This is just a fan page!



Sun Boy'z is a Hong Kong cantopop duo that was formed by EEG with the members of Steven Cheung (???) and Dennis Mak (???).



Boy'z

Boy'Z (now known as Sun Boy'z (? Boy'z), meaning New Boy'z) was formerly a Hong Kong Cantopop duo that consisted of members Kenny Kwan (???) (born December 30, 1980) and Steven Cheung (???) (born November 10, 1984). The duo was formed around June of 2002 by the Emperor Entertainment Group as the male version a year after the female Cantopop duo Twins was formed. Boy'Z has released 3 EPs and 2 albums. Their debut EP, La La ?? (La La World), was released in 2003.



They were based on another Hong Kong popular prefabricated duo, Twins, who is also formed by Emperor Entertainment Group. Boy'Z received main roles in films such as The Death Curse (2003) and PaPa Loves You (2004). They were cameos as robbers in Jackie Chan's film New Police Story (2004). As their popularity grew, Boy'Z gained their starring roles in the film, 6:00 AM (2004).



On January 13, 2005, it was announced that Boy'Z would be splitting and disband as early plans. Kenny Kwan would continue his career as a solo artist. In February 2005, Dennis Mak (???, born May 7, 1987), top 5 finalist of the EEG Singing Contest 2004, who was originally planned to have a solo career, will continue Boy'Z with Steven Cheung. The duo's popularity went down after Kenny left, mainly because they have not released any recorded material since then. Dennis and Steven were arranged to train in dancing and gymnastics. Then, they were spotted by a management company in Japan and wanted to sign them but their manager did not release them.



Sun Boy'z

On June 26, 2006, winner of 2003 International Chinese New Talent Singing Championship - Hong Kong Regional Finals, William Chan (???, born November 21, 1985) joined the group and Boy'Z was eventually renamed as Sun Boy'z. They released their first single called "Tic Tac Toe" shortly before June of 2006, from their self-titled debut EP. This EP includes the song "????" which was sung and performed by only Dennis and Steven because the song was recorded prior to William joining the group. Therefore, the Mandarin version of this song, "???", has William on lead vocals completely. The group made a sudden street performance on September 3, 2006.



In early 2007, Sun Boy'z recorded the cover version of the song "Little Wonders" by Rob Thomas called "????" for the Hong Kong version of "Meet The Robinsons". On January 2, 2007, the group released a new music video and song "3+1=1". The song features former member Kenny Kwan and the title's meaning is referring to the four of them always being together as one, even though Kenny is no longer a member of the group. This song is on their greatest hits album All For 1, released on March 22, 2007. The album includes the best of Boy'Z and Sun Boy'z songs along with 3 new songs. After having success in the cantopop music scene, their record company EEG decided to have them turn to mandopop and a new Mandarin album titled ???? (First Date) was released on December 17, 2007. They have been promoting the new album in the Guangzhou and other parts of China since the release of the new album.



Their duet song "??? (No Big Deal)" along with a music video they recorded alongside labelmate Yumiko Cheng, was released on February 1, 2008 in Yumiko's album titled ?? (Super Model).
