We hope our work and performances can bring back more positive energy and joy to our audiences again. We learned a lot from it, but we hope to learn lessons and try our best to treasure everything, contribute more to society and help more people. It was a really hard time for us, our dancers, and all Hong Kong citizens. No one wanted it to happen, no one could foresee it happening, and no one could really understand why it even happened. But we try our best to overcome all these kinds of feelings. We had to deal with our emotions-mentally, emotionally-so, it’s sad for sure.

But this accident taught me how to treasure everything: Our job, friends, and opportunities to perform on stage. Stanley: I would say, of course, it was a big accident. In your own words, I’d like to give the opportunity for you to share what happened and your feelings on the incident. While you’ve been rising internationally, you had a tragic moment that had a lot of attention with the concert accident. Are there a lot of bands from reality shows? You were created on the singing competition Good Night Show – King Maker. Paint a picture of the Canto-pop music scene in Hong Kong today.

There are a lot of people who want to listen to music with Cantonese lyrics so there are multiple markets. K-pop has taken over the markets for the past decade, but I do think Cantonese represents a different kind of style of music, especially in Asia. There are different types of songs we can try or continue trying like we have for almost five years. There are a lot of genres in Canto-pop as well, no different than in countries like Korea, the U.S. The lyrics have always been very meaningful and Hong Kong people can look into the lyrics deeply, which I think is one of the most unique characteristics of Canto-pop.Īnson Lo: But over the years, I think Canto-pop music has grown so much and I think there’s no difference between countries or languages in music. To understand your background a little more, what are the characteristics of Canto-pop and how does MIRROR represent that?Įdan Lui: Canto-pop was very popular in the ’80s and ’90s, and the images around Canto-pop have traditionally been more for ballads and slow-paced songs not really energetic or fast-paced songs. The 32-year-old singer-dancer leads most of the interview alongside giggly, bubbly Anson Lo, 27, and Edan Lui, 25, to his right. “We’re idols to these audiences we have to stand up again,” says the charismatic Stanley, who leans into the camera when he speaks to Billboard over Zoom. The guys have spent their first five years together developing their boy band and individual careers alongside Hong Kong entertainment studio MakerVille, but agree that being together as 12 acts as a “base.” While still mentally and emotionally healing from last year’s accident, MIRROR say “Rumours” is a challenging but special project in partnership with Sony Music Hong Kong to help fuel their ambition to return to slaying the stage. Spiky, sonorous basslines soundtrack the group’s blend of singing, rapping and group chanting, while the James Bond-inspired music video shows the dazzling dozen donning dapper suits and high-fashion spy gear to pull off a mysterious heist.

With ages ranging from 34-23, the MIRROR members consisting of Lokman, Anson Lo, Frankie, Stanley, Alton, Edan Lui, Jer, Anson “AK” Kong, Ian, Jeremy, Keung To, and Tiger show confidence and maturity in “Rumours,” a significant step forward since their formation on 2018 TV singing competition show Good Night Show – King Maker. A change from their Cantonese-pop, or Canto-pop, hits like “Warrior” (their 2021 social commentary fighting against dated norms with eight million views on YouTube), “BOSS” (the theatrical, funk-pop summer single), or “We All Are” (a piano ballad that marked the group’s fourth hit on Billboard‘s 13-month-old Hong Kong Songs chart), “Rumours” signals a new era for the group. Nine months later, amid starts and stops due to the incident and pandemic-related matters, MIRROR took an unprecedented leap for Hong Kong music by releasing their first English single “Rumours” on March 17. Meanwhile, MIRROR and their team regrouped. The show abruptly ended with the remaining concert dates canceled as Mo Li and Chang recovered. During the fourth show on July 28, 2022, a large overhanging video screen hit dancer Moses “Mo” Li Kai-yin head-on while also striking Chang Tsz-fung mid-concert, leaving the former in critical condition and the latter with injuries. While most news stories noted how the 12-member boy band was revolutionizing Hong Kong’s music scene with a renewed fandom culture for local Cantonese pop artists, the focus was on the tragic accident at one of their 12 scheduled concerts at Hong Kong Coliseum. Last summer, MIRROR made international headlines earlier than they had anticipated.
