There are Mirrors all over the street. How popular is Mirror?

In the past two years, one of the biggest feelings of Hong Kong people, Mirror must be one of them.

Mirror is a boy group in Hong Kong. It is a 12-member group selected by ViuTV's talent show "Making Stars", but no one should have thought that they would become so popular now. As long as you go to any big shopping mall, you will be hard to find one. Mirror cannot be seen in the corners. Almost all major businesses use Mirror members as spokespersons. According to reports, Mirror has photographed more than 150 advertisements in the first half of this year alone, so we see Mirror on the street and in shopping malls. Mirror, watching Mirror on TV, seeing Mirror on the Internet, as if there is only Mirror in Hong Kong, and Mirror is one of the very few artists who can break through the political stance, whether it is yellow or blue, there are fans.

There is a reason for Mirror's popularity. There is definitely the right time and place. They debuted from the end of 2018 to the beginning of 2019. They were also selected by Hong Kong's first new talent show. Basically, they have been with the audience for a long time. Time, and soon going through a period of social movements and the Covid-19 pandemic, what about going through this period? It's very simple. When Hong Kong was in a period when the entertainment industry was in decline, the previous generation of singers went north one by one, but there happened to be a group that could be eyed, and then the number of tourists to Hong Kong dropped greatly, the local awareness of the local people increased, and major advertisements resumed using local artists. , to whom? Look for Mirror, just like this, Mirror appeared at the most timely time, injecting energy into Hong Kong people in the most lost period.

The Mirror phenomenon is really scary. It's even scarier than the Four Heavenly Kings era in my memory. Every time there is a member's birthday, we will see birthday congratulation advertisements bought by fans in different places, and they have a public event that they attend. It must be full, because half of the members of Mirror are dancers, and half of the members are people I have known before their debut (don't ask me for autographs), I really didn't think they would become so popular now, so Well, things are unpredictable.

Originally, Mirror was only popular locally in Hong Kong, you don't know them in other areas, but recently they started to go abroad. First, Edan and Anson Lo's Hong Kong version of "Uncle's Love" counterattack was broadcast in Japan, and then Jiang Tao was caught in Japan. ATatler Asia was selected as one of the 300 most influential people in Asia. A few days ago, Anson Lo was selected as the best newcomer in the Greater China region of Korea MAMA. This time he really rushed out of the world.

Originally, I thought the phenomenon of Mirror was quite unhealthy, because Mirror was too popular, and only Mirror was so popular. This is a problem. If something happens, such as a scandal, and Mirror is withdrawn, who will take over? But then I figured it out. In fact, this is a good phenomenon. At least Mirror has led the locals to pay more attention to Cantonese pop songs. Young people no longer only listen to Kpop. They pay attention to Cantonese songs again. Many powerful newcomers are paid attention. At least it's better than before. This is definitely the best chance to bring back Cantonese pop music. What if it fails? It's just back to the state of stagnant water before, can it be worse?

A few years ago, I had foreseen that Cantonese pop music would soon only become a local small market gadget, but the emergence of Mirror gave people hope. After all, Cantonese pop music was once the pinnacle of Chinese pop culture. I certainly don't want to see it go down with my own eyes.

So, the real thing is man-made.
