18th December 2025 – (Hong Kong) Hong Kong boy band MIRROR’s leading star Keung To was overcome with emotion on the opening night of his nine-show solo concert series “KEUNG TO ‘LAVA’ LIVE 2025” at AsiaWorld-Expo, breaking down in tears twice and promising fans he would strive to become a “better man”.
The concert, which kicked off last night, saw Keung To make a dramatic entrance styled as a vampire, complete with striking red contact lenses and a glass of red wine in hand. His stage persona drew loud cheers as he stepped into character with a meticulously crafted look that matched the intense, theatrical concept of the show.
Emotions surfaced early in the performance. While singing his song “Loneliness Disease”, Keung To visibly choked up and began to cry, wiping away tears with his hand as he tried to continue. Later, during “The Wandering Planet”, he was again moved to tears, this time so overwhelmed that he could not finish the song. With his face covered and his back turned to the audience, he struggled to sing on, prompting the entire arena to join in and complete the track for him.
After regaining his composure, he addressed the crowd, apologising and thanking them for stepping in: “I’m so sorry, and thank you for helping me sing just now. This concert is like an examination for me. I know I can do even better today. I hope you’ll all give me more comments – everyone on stage and behind the scenes will listen.” Reflecting on his recent journey, he added: “Over the past six months I’ve learnt a lot, really a lot, and I’ll become a better man,” before launching into his song “Better Man”.
One of the show’s visual highlights came when a massive crane arm extended from the centre of the stage. Keung To stood on the platform as it lifted him out over the audience, circling the arena while he performed “Atlantis”, “I Need You In My Li(f)e” and “Chasing Love Fantasy”. Confetti shaped like the letters “K” and “T” rained down from above, creating a dreamy, romantic atmosphere. From his elevated perch, he paced back and forth, leaning over the railings, waving and charming fans from every angle as the crane swept across the venue.
In lighter moments, Keung To engaged in playful banter with the crowd. Clearly in high spirits, he asked: “Are you happy? The producer wants to know if you like me?” His comment drew loud laughter from the audience, and even he could not help but laugh at his own remark. He went on to share that this concert carried a lot of emotions and feelings he wanted to express, explaining that he had not prepared any specific speech in advance. Instead, he preferred to speak spontaneously from the heart. Admitting that he does not consider himself especially eloquent, he said that heartfelt words, even if simple, should still be sincere and respectful.
True to his reputation for cherishing his supporters, Keung To took time during the thank‑you segment to express his gratitude to his fans.
