Hong Kong multifaceted entertainer Edan Lui of the hugely popular boy band MIRROR recently celebrated his 29th birthday, sharing a glimpse of the significant fan gathering that marked the occasion. The star took to social media yesterday to post photographs from the large-scale celebration held with his supporters, using the opportunity to extend a heartfelt yet characteristic message of gratitude for their enduring devotion and affection.
The event, described by Lui as exceptionally “grand” in scale, underscores the deep connection between the artist and his loyal fanbase, often referred to as “Infans.” The pictures depicted a vibrant and warm atmosphere, illustrating the mutual appreciation on full display.
Lui Expresses Humorous and Sincere Gratitude
Lui, known for his genuine and often humorous interactions with the public, used his post to reflect on how his annual birthday celebration has transformed, attributing the increased pomp entirely to his supporters.
“Thank you to everyone who has continually supported and loved me,” Lui wrote, expressing wonder about when his birthday transitioned into such a major occasion. He conveyed sincere appreciation for their willingness to embrace him, affectionately referring to himself as “this brat.”
“Thank you for being willing to appreciate this brat, thank you for showering me with love, and thank you for being willing to accompany me,” he added.
The relationship between the artist and his followers, often navigating the intense pressures of the Cantopop scene, is perceived by fans as a partnership in growth. Lui reinforced this sentiment by expressing his hope for a continued shared journey.
“I hope we can continue to accompany each other, grow together, and improve together in the future,” he emphasized.
A Decades-Long Birthday Pact
Lui’s message concluded with a playful yet poignant promise, solidifying the long-term bond he envisions with his fans. He cheekily set a future date, telling attendees, “See you at the 80th birthday party!”—a lighthearted vow suggesting he intends to perform and celebrate into his twilight years, maintaining the connection with his fanbase across decades.
The celebration comes as MIRROR maintains its position at the forefront of the resurgence of Hong Kong’s entertainment industry. Lui, who has successfully branched into acting, hosting, and solo music ventures, continues to juggle a packed schedule, including recent hit television roles and frequent brand endorsements.
This outpouring of fan dedication highlights the robust emotional investment supporters place in major Canto-pop figures, viewing these birthday events not just as celebrations of the star, but as community milestones. As Lui enters his 30th year, his commitment to his career and his audience remains a defining characteristic of his public persona in the vibrant Asian entertainment market.
