Mirror: The Boy Band That’s Turning Heads—and Wallets—In Hong Kong
Everyone’s on the lookout for those 12 upbeat guys from Mirror. Whether it’s a pic‑nic in the park, a mall stroll, or a frantic scramble for tickets at a concert, fans are practically living in fan‑lives. They’re so hungry for the hype that you’ll find their “official” merchandise sold out within hours—no wonder the group’s got a dedicated stalker‑level following.
Keung To: From Stage‑Lights to the Tatler Ranks
- Keung To, the charismatic frontman, has surprised even himself by landing on Tatler Asia’s Most Influential List released Dec 6.
- It’s a big deal—the list spots 300 people from Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Indonesia, and the Philippines who “push for positive change and have relevance in their countries and beyond borders.”
- At 22 years old, Keung’s only been in showbiz since 2018, yet he’s already sharing the podium with legends like Tony Leung Chiu‑wai, Liza Wang, Wong Kar‑wai, and Donnie Yen.
“Getting on that list is a huge honour,” he admitted in a recent interview with AsiaOne. “It feels like I’m finally proving that I’m not just a pretty face, but an actual contributor to the industry.”
On the Small Screen: The Twisty Realm of Sometimes When We Touch
Keung also plays a key role in the Taiwanese supernatural rom‑com Sometimes When We Touch. The plot twists like a haunted hallway:
- A university student, Stone (Kent Tsai), a lovesick dreamer, dies after saving his crush from a bathtub mishap.
- Enter Xiaolu (Eugenie Liu), his “underworld guide” who resurrects Stone, only to drag him and the squad to the Dream Pavilion.
- There, they must help lost souls—or risk ending up eternally stuck in the dead‑zone.
Keung portrays Yingchen, affectionately nicknamed French Toast, a top member of the campus Supernatural Society. His band‑mate, Anson Lo, also pops up with a cameo, making the show feel like a full Mirror fan‑fest.
Why Mirror Matters
When Mirror’s music drops, it’s like hearing a burst of fresh wind on a humid Hong Kong day. The band’s tracks mix catchy hooks, heartfelt lyrics, and a dash of south‑beat flair that resonate with fans scrolling through their phones or in mid‑concert chats. It’s no wonder the group has become a cultural staple; they’re as timeless as the city’s neon skyline.
Whether bursting with ad‑different vibes or sounding like the soundtrack to an uplifting saga, Mirror proves that a boy band with 12 members can be a force for good on both the music chart and the cultural radar.
Why He Let Out a Rant on Camera
Keung To shares, “That fight scene was weirdly nostalgic. A part of me felt I was back to that teenage version of me—/too easy about getting mad. After years of keeping my cool, stepping into the role let me feel those old sparkles again. It was a cathartic moment.”
First Time Playing the Ouija Board
Handler of the spooky board, Keung says, “I had never tried one before the shoot. I’m not usually scared of creepy stuff, but the context of the drama turned my curiosity into a little freak-out. It was terrifying—yet we wrapped it up without a single odd occurrence.”
Life as a Foreign Exchange Student in Taiwan
About the role in “French Toast,” Keung chuckles, “I’ve never really felt the depth of some characters, but I just enjoy the notion of being a foreigner who can grub on all the tasty Taiwanese cuisines. It’s funny—spending a few more years there would definitely hit the scales a bit!”
Career Ambitions
- “When I step away from the spotlight, I don’t want people remembering me solely as a former idol.”
- “I aim to be remembered for the memorable songs and shows that people can still hum along to.”
Keung concludes with a nod to streaming services: “You can catch “Sometimes When We Touch” over on Viu for a friendly binge.”
Remember, the interview’s essence stays fresh, relatable, and full of personality—just the way you’d expect from one of Hong Kong’s popular actors and singers.
