As a singer, she released several albums through Life Records, including "Who Can Convey My Feelings?" After moving to Japan, she signed with Warner Pioneer and released singles such as "Fragrant Love Night," "Picking Petal by Petal," and "Rose's Oath," but sales were disappointing. In 1972 her sister Marilyn Chan also signed with Warner Pioneer to develop her career in Japan, and Irene focused on supporting her sister's activities, ceasing her own performances. She later returned to Hong Kong to work as a television producer, also studied in Canada, married in 1978, and currently lives as a housewife in Hong Kong.
