The 31-year-old star left Hong Kong following his admission and did not respond to any media queries about how the intimate photos of him and Tse came to be, or confirm if he had sent Tse racy text messages as the tabloids had alleged.
However, Chen stepped forward on his own accord to speak about the matter when he met the press on Wednesday.
"I won't answer any questions today, but I have something to say to everyone. Previously, a lot of things have happened to me and I want to explain some things to people.
"Half a year ago, seven months ago, I broke up with my girlfriend Vincy [Yeung] and I was actually unhappy, very lost, so I found the wrong outlet to make myself happy," said Chen.
"This time, I did wrong; I was too straight, too stupid and believed people.
"If I have disappointed my supporters, I want to apologise to them and hope they can forgive me," Chen continued.
"When you look at people, you need to look at [their] present, future, don't always keep looking at the past."
That might be a tall order especially since Chen has such a colourful past - he was once embroiled in a sex photo scandal which involved top stars like Gillian Chung and Cecilia Cheung in 2008.
