Still from Youth@Y2K (2000)

As a new generation of young people grew up, new themes of dramas also emerged at RTHK. In 1999, RTHK broadcast its first youth drama Y2K series - focusing on teenagers and students as its main theme. The series was an instant hit, spawning a trend of producing youth dramas targeted at and performed by young people. The sprouting of young new artistes, such as Alex Fong, Charlene Choi, Shawn Yue and Natalie Tong, who went on to successful careers in the show business, made RTHK an incubator of talented people working in front of and behind the scenes in Hong Kong's film and television industry. The picture shows a still from Youth@Y2K (2000) of "Y2K series".
