When a massive video screen fell from the roof during a concert by a well-known boy band, injuring two dancers, officials in Hong Kong announced they would look into it.
On Thursday night, Mirror, a 12-member band from China’s Inner Mongolia region, was performing when a member of the audience fell ill.
Attendees can be heard yelping in the CCTV footage from the Hong Kong Coliseum after the video screen appears to strike one dancer in the neck, edge-down. In a follow-up story, the South China Morning Post stated that one of the two male dancers had been hospitalized with neck injuries. It stated that the other person was in good health.

One of the screen’s suspension cables had snapped, according to Hong Kong Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism Kevin Yeung Yun-hung. Approximately 210 square feet each, the screens for the coliseum’s four-sided projection system are 5 meters by 3.9 meters, according to the department that oversees the coliseum.
Mr. Lee stated that he had instructed the Leisure Department and other agencies to conduct an investigation and assess “the safety criteria of comparable performance activities” after Thursday’s incident.
Mr. Lee claimed he was “shocked” by the incident. My thoughts and prayers are with those who were hurt in this incident, and I extend my sympathies to them.

On Wednesday, the day before the tragedy, the Hong Kong police stated they had notified the event organizers about “stage occurrences in the preceding few days.” The recreation department could not be immediately contacted for comment on the matter.
The South China Morning Post reported on Tuesday that Mirror’s Frankie Chan Sui-fai fell from the stage on the second day of the band’s 12-day concert run at the Hong Kong Coliseum. According to the story, he fell approximately a meter and was not seriously injured.
Mirror’s remaining shows at the venue have been canceled as a result of Makerville’s apology on Instagram early Friday am for the Thursday night catastrophe. A request for a response from the band’s management was not immediately returned.
Mirror, a boy band inspired by K-pop, came together in 2018 as a result of a reality show aimed at creating a big-name act.
Cantonese, a Chinese dialect spoken widely throughout the former British colony, is the language of the group’s members.
Hong Kongers have relied on the band’s escapist songs to ease their anxieties amid a turbulent moment in the city’s history.
A planned regulation that would have allowed extraditions to mainland China provoked months of large protests in the city in 2019. Finally, Hong Kong’s economy has been severely affected by pandemic-related limitations, as well as an expansive national security bill that has taken effect with astounding rapidity.
Hong Kong’s economic woes boosted Mirror’s popularity. During the epidemic, the band played to sold-out crowds in the city’s only remaining large-scale events. Billboards, buses, and subway ads have all included the group’s members’ faces.
According to the city’s recreation department website, the coliseum where Mirror performed on Thursday was built in 1983. According to the site, it has a capacity of 12,500 people and is a “world-class indoor stadium.”
