Keung To jibes reflect ‘double-edged sword' of social media: Hong Kong experts
A slew of both supportive and hateful online comments over Hong Kong pop singer Keung To's recent fall into the sea reflects divided public opinion and the social media pressures young stars face, a psychiatrist and a cultural commentator have said. Experts who spoke to the Post said social media was a 'double-edged sword' that allowed young celebrities to connect with their fans while increasing their direct exposure to hostility, a challenge not faced by stars in the pre-internet era. After Keung, a member of popular Cantopop boy band Mirror, fell into the waters off Sai Wan on Tuesday afternoon, fans flocked to his social media account to leave supportive comments wishing him a speedy recovery. But the 26-year-old singer was also on the receiving end of malicious comments from online users cursing him and mocking his mishap. Dr Chan Kai-tai, clinical professional consultant at the Chinese University of Hong Kong's department of psychiatry, said that with digitalisation, public opinion towards celebrities had become highly polarised, but noted the phenomenon was not unique to the city. In the past, Hong Kong's 'Four Heavenly Kings' – Andy Lau Tak-wah, Jacky Cheung Hok-yau, Leon Lai Ming and Aaron Kwok Fu-shing – who dominated the Cantopop world in the 1980s and 1990s, were more heavily protected from the public, with their companies and managers acting as a buffer, Chan said.

Keung To's fall into sea: was it a cry for help for Hong Kong band Mirror?
Hong Kong Cantopop boy band Mirror is navigating a challenging landscape after its meteoric rise to fame a few years ago, with its members now forced to compete with all types of online entertainment and the local showbiz scene grappling with broader headwinds, market observers have said. Advertisement They also said that, despite immense public expectations, the band's human vulnerabilities, paired with a local industry that distinctively lacks the rigorous pre-debut training like that of K-pop idols, created unique challenges. They needed support to grow and expand beyond their initial amateur appeal and that might have been lacking, industry observers said. Formed through ViuTV's reality talent show in 2018 and swiftly hailed as Cantopop's saviours, Mirror quickly amassed a massive fan base along with loyal brand partnerships and advertisers. But the band now faces renewed public scrutiny after popular member Keung To was rescued following his fall into the sea on Tuesday. Advertisement The 26-year-old singer later revealed he had consumed alcohol and painkillers before the accident. Keung, along with other members such as Anson Lo Hon-ting, Edan Lui Cheuk-on and Ian Chan Cheuk-yin, blossomed into multitalented stars, excelling with their solo music careers, acting roles and variety shows, further cementing the band's collective and individual appeal.
