Yue Man Lok was discovered by a modelling agency when he was hanging out with friends on the street, and began his modeling career on a part-time basis. When he graduated from form 6, he immediately endulged himself into full-time modelling.

Hyped as a possible replacement for Nicholas Tse, he finally arrived on the HK movie scene in 2002, making appearances in popular, high-profile films like Just One Look and Infernal Affairs. In addition, Yu has recently received both positive and negative attention by posing for some risqué photos in Taiwan's "Vogue" magazine, and for his World War II-themed photo book, in which he is dressed as a German soldier.

He played Takeshi Nakazato in the movie, Initial D, which also featured Edison Chen, Chapman To and Jay Chou.According to the latest media release, Shawn Yue only appeared for less than half an hour in the movie Initial D. However, despite the short appearance, his portrayal of Nakazato managed to leave a deep impression and impact on a lot of the viewers' hearts, especially in Japan, where this has resulted directly in many new Japanese fans in Yue and a new lucrative market has been opened for Yue to conquer.
