Profile | Hong Kong boy band Mirror cheat sheet: all 12 members ranked, from Keung To and Anson Lo to the ones we hardly know anything about
- If you don’t recognise Keung To by now, you never will – his face is plastered all over Hong Kong, encouraging us to buy everything from watches to mooncakes
- Anson Lo’s much lauded performance in drama Ossan’s Love has made him one of the most recognisable members of the boy band. But what of their band mates?
Mirror are the biggest Canto-pop act in Hong Kong, but according to a running joke on social media it’s hard to tell some of the members apart. Can you name all 12 off the top of your head or identify them in a photo?
To help, here’s our Who’s Who guide to the boy band, from its most recognisable member to its least identifiable.
1. Keung To/Birthday: April 30, 1999/Recognisability: 10
His face is plastered all over the city, encouraging us to buy everything from luxury watches to mooncakes. Keung, the winner of Hong Kong broadcaster ViuTV’s reality talent contest King Maker in 2018, is one of the best known Mirror members – if you don’t recognise him by now, you never will.
2. Anson Lo Hon-ting/Birthday: July 7, 1995/Recognisability: 10
Not to be confused with fellow band member Anson Kong, Lo’s rise to fame is thanks to his much lauded performance in ViuTV’s adaptation of the Japanese drama Ossan’s Love. His every move is documented – even a video of him making fried rice at a restaurant is entertainment-news worthy. He is also an awesome dancer.
3. Ian Chan Cheuk-yin/Birthday: June 9, 1993/Recognisability: 9
Ian’s name is often mistakenly spelt lan (or LAN, like the acronym for “Local Area Network”) on Chinese social media, probably because the upper case for “I” and lower case “l” look so alike. Chan came in second on King Maker and he is known for having both a great voice and a great body.
