    Out of the 12, I love Keung To most. He is so genuine and humble, although he was the winner and most popular of the 12 in the first year of Mirror debut, but he always put Mirror first whenever being interviewed, always hide himself by standing at the side and let the other members have more exposure. He is such a kindhearted person. I love him because I'm really touched by his personality

Go search from TH-cam of his MV and you will be amazed of his talent. Also you can understand more of his sincere personality by watching his interview too.

    It is not easy to be one of the 300 of Asia’s Most Influential, this award means a lot to Keung To. As Keung To said “Since I am lucky enough to have social influence to a small group, I will try my utmost to release more positive energy in order to help more people in need”. Just because of Keung To never brag about his accomplishments and always do his best, Keung To always think that this is just what he should do and his responsibility as a member of a Hong Kong artist.
    Keung To has the style of a man of big deeds at his young age. We always support him.

    Keung To us a young talented artist. His passion to music and caring for the community impress me the most. He was brought up in a simple family. He didn't get a chance to receive good education and music training like his Mirror bros. Whatever he gets today is out from his own talents, hardworking and dedication.

    Keung To’s early life story is inspiring. Besides his losing weight story, his McDonlad story is interesting, too. It seems like underdog movie.
    Keung To loves eating McDonald hamburger 🍔. His unhealthy eating style in childhood caused him obesity.
    Even, he worked as a part-time job in McDonald when he studied.
    After his losing weight and pursuit the dream story, he is starring as McDonald which promote a “Keung B meal” in March this year. The sales rate of “Keung B meal” campaign is better than “BTS meal” campaign in Hong Kong this year.

    All 12 members in Mirror are so talented and they have successfully drawn HongKongers’ attention to the local pop music field again.
    In particular, the leader star at Mirror, Keung To, who was the Champion of a local music contest, whom has recently been awarded the Asia’s Most influential Person by Tatler Asia, he is the youngest on the list.
    Keung’s talent and passion in music, his attitude and behaviour has inspired many of us in Hong Kong, not only the young generation, but also the mid-age to elder generation.

    All 12 members of Mirror are fascinating and hard working. They are all polite and humble and bring lots of happiness to HK people. Next time maybe you can cover more and balancing on all members as 12-1=0. Ian, Jer, Keung To are also very talented and have beautiful voices. Their singing are well enjoyed by many HKgers. My favourite one is Keung To. His voice is very special and unique. His songs always touch my hearts and bring out positive messages. He can perform different kinds of dancing, like Krump and contemporary dancing very well. He always gives us fantastic surprises at his stage performance. He is a bright star 🌟! I love his genuine and kind hearted personality and always work hard without bragging about his hard work or achievements. Of course he is super handsome 😍❤️❤️.

    u are very right on most counts
    in this time when Hong Kong is trying to rediscover our own identity, much of what they do is go back to the basics and getting down to earth
    Anson Lo came out of the clausit a while ago.
    while the establishment thinking is still very conservative, there is a silent few who are more progressive and Anson Lo success provides a face we could get behind.
    You watch the performance of Keung To, a lot is very spontaneous and from the heart as well

    I also want to get an answer but in vain for my being crazily addicted to anson lo & his best friend Keung to for the past months. Mirror is hot in HK and unprecedentedly! Can become a topic for academic review from finance or social perspective. If TH-cam channel has review on top members of Mirror, subscribers can definitely rise quick. I do have to admit my eyes cannot go off from Anson on his charming stage performance and his unique dance and facial expression. They kill! Suggest you can do more on reviews on stage performance of him, if you have time and can still stand it. 🤣

    Great analysis, though I'm not sure about "Mirror staying above politics". It's an open secret that Mirror fans are "Yellows", and supporting Mirror is supporting the Yellow Economic Circle. Their appearance in the recent HK elections have already caused quite a stir. No one so high profile will be allowed to be politically neutral in neo-colonial Hong Kong
