Steven Cheung Chi-hang (simplified Chinese: 张致恒; traditional Chinese: 張致恆, born November 10, 1984) is a Hong Kong singer and actor. Steven Cheung was a member of the Cantopop duo, Sun Boy'z from 2002–2006, where William Chan joined in and the group was renamed Sun Boy'z. It was officially disbanded in December, 2008.
Cheung was born into a wealthy family in Hong Kong to a Dutch mother and a Chinese father.
Cheung never had academic talent. He failed badly in school and repeated the same grade level three times before dropping out.
From his father's connection, Steven and his younger brother Ryan Chung became models for Jamcast. He was later referred into Emperor Entertainment Group, while his sister, Jan Chung became a member of the music duo Krusty.
Cheung began his career in the entertainment industry as one-half of the duo BOY'Z with Kenny Kwan in 2002-2005. When Kwan left BOY'Z in January 2005, Cheung continued the duo with Dennis Mak. In June 2006, William Chan joined BOY'Z and the group was renamed as Sun Boy'z (With "Sun" being a parody of the Cantonese pronunciation of "new"). Cheung continued to lead the group until it was disbanded in 2008.
In 2003, Cheung started filming movies with Kenny Kwan and has appeared in a string of low budget movies including, The Death Curse, Bug Me Not!, The Haunted School and A Chinese Tall Story.
