Hong Kong pop idol Jeremy Lee of the celebrated Canto-pop group MIRROR addressed a vibrant crowd at a public event today, capitalizing on the enthusiastic atmosphere to share updates about upcoming music, his Lunar New Year plans, and his perspective on a teammate’s engagement and the resulting fan reaction.
The popular singer appeared at a shopping center Friday, drawing significant fanfare as he engaged with hundreds of supporters. Stepping away from the current wave of festive preparation, Lee confirmed his plans for the Lunar New Year remain minimal, stating he expects to spend most of the holiday period resting at home. While he traditionally joined bandmate Edan Lui (Lui Cheuk-on) for New Year visits, those arrangements are still pending confirmation this year.
Teaser: Fast-Paced New Single Imminent
Amid discussions about downtime, Lee revealed he is finalizing a new, uptempo track. The singer is set to film the accompanying music video within days, indicating a potential release date slated for the end of the month. This new single will mark his first release of the year and aims to maintain his momentum from a successful 2023.
When asked about the recent engagement of teammate Stanley Yau (Yau Shi Chun) to long-time girlfriend Alina Lee, Jeremy offered heartfelt congratulations. “Witnessing their nine-year relationship culminate in engagement is a wonderful outcome,” he said, expressing satisfaction at the couple’s milestone. Lee, however, indicated he was not yet privy to details of the wedding date or whether he would be part of the bridal party lineup, deferring to the couple’s planning.
Addressing Fan Reactions to Engagement
Stanley Yau’s engagement announcement reportedly triggered a period of members leaving the fandom—a phenomenon Lee described as a normal part of celebrity-fan dynamics.
“From a dedicated fan perspective, this is undoubtedly major news, and it’s natural that not everyone can process or accept it immediately,” Jeremy explained, noting that varied emotional reactions are to be expected.
Lee emphasized that despite initial shock, the core sentiment among the fanbase remains overwhelmingly positive. “Ultimately, I believe fans truly love Stanley, and we have seen many sincere congratulations,” he asserted. To reassure supporters, Lee projected confidence in his colleague, suggesting that Stanley will respond to the fan devotion by delivering even stronger performances and professional achievements.
Regarding other members’ personal lives, Lee maintained a respectful boundary. Specifically asked if Edan Lui had any impending marriage plans, Lee admitted he had no insider knowledge and generally avoided inquiring into his teammates’ private affairs.
Debunking Industry Rumors
Lee also tackled recent media speculation concerning a perceived “thaw” in relations between MIRROR’s management company, MakerVille, and Commercial Radio Hong Kong (CRHK), a major local broadcaster. Lee greeted the rumor with skepticism and humor.
“I honestly have no idea where this ‘ice’ supposedly was,” he quipped. “I’m genuinely curious about the origin of these claims.”
He suggested that the notion of a strained relationship likely stems from the group’s demanding schedule. He noted that MIRROR members have been extremely busy, making radio appearances challenging. He pointed out his own absence from radio promotion late last year because he did not release a single, confirming that he personally felt no sense of a prior rift.
Finally, addressing an unrelated incident involving teammate Keung To’s minor driving mishap—Keung To is a novice, or ‘P-plate’ driver—Lee defended his colleague’s learning curve. He revealed he has not yet accepted Keung To’s invitation to ride as a passenger, though he has expressed willingness to do so.
“A few minor bumps are entirely normal for a learner,” Lee commented, recalling his own early parking lot collisions. “New drivers need time and practice to gain the necessary experience.”
