Tong was the first to debut with his first role as the supporting character Wu Wang-yuen in the 1980 drama "This Land is Mine". Wong's first role was in the 1981 "The Misadventure of Zoo". The other 3 members had debut roles while still trainees at the school: Miu's debut role was the 1980 drama "The Adventurer's", Lau's first role was in the sitcom "Hong Kong '81", and Leung had his first major role in the 1982 "Soldier of Fortune", which also starred Wong and Tong.
