lcd screen falls on dancer in stock

One of the dancers who was critically injured during a concert by Hong Kong boy band Mirror is still under intensive care, with a high chance that his damaged nerves “cannot totally recover.”

The dancer’s father — Reverend Derek Li Shing-lam — has been regularly updating the public on the status of his son, Mo Li Kai-yin, since the July 28 incident.

According to a translation by the South China Morning Post, his father wrote in a social media post: “Every time [my wife and I] stand beside Kai-yin’s bed, the bitterness in our hearts is indescribable. Our active son is now helpless on the bed, his line of sight being only the cold ceiling every day.”

On Saturday night, he discussed his son’s diagnosis for the first time, saying that there is a 95% chance his vertebrae and sensory nerves may not fully recover. He also shared that they will be seeking acupuncture treatment next.

Li Kai-yin was hit by an LED screen that fell onto the stage while he was performing with Mirror at the Hong Kong Coliseum. He suffered serious bodily injuries that threatened to leave him paralyzed from the neck down.

In addition to calling for prayers, Li Shing-lam also said that his son was transferred to another intensive care unit at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Yau Ma Tei due to COVID-19-related complications. Although the details of the dancer’s brain trauma remain unclear, the Reverend shared that his son had “hope his parents could share more about their past with him.”

The accident occurred during a group performance when an LED video screen hanging above the stage fell and hit two dancers who were standing directly underneath. They were knocked to the ground and appeared to be unconscious, while the rest of the crew was stunned. The two performers were rushed to the hospital with the other dancer suffering serious head injuries, although he remained in stable condition.

HONG KONG -Hong Kong officials said Friday they would open an investigation into a concert accident in which a giant video screen fell down onto the stage and injured two dancers.

Video clips from the Cantopop group Mirror concert Thursday night show a massive LED screen suspended above the stage crashing down, directly landing on one dancer before toppling over onto another as audience members scream in horror.

Hong Kong leader John Lee said Friday that authorities will "comprehensively investigate the incident" and review safety requirements for future performances, according to a government statement.

Concert organizer MakerVille said in a statement it was "deeply saddened" over the injuries of two performers and that it would work with authorities in the probe.

"If we find anything suspicious, or if any person or unit is involved in misconduct, we will immediately report it to the police," the statement read.

Authorities also revealed their initial findings after inspecting the show venue — the Hong Kong Coliseum — on Friday. The concert on Thursday was the fourth of 12 scheduled concerts by Mirror, with tens of thousands of fans having bought tickets.

Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism Kevin Yeung told reporters Friday the government was "very concerned" about the incident and that an investigation would be conducted, likely over several weeks.

"We will do research to find out whether (the steel cable broke) due to an operational or material problem. It cannot currently be concluded at this stage," said Yeung, adding that the incident will affect "all future performances."

Officers from the Labour Department have collected evidence from the venue and will work to determine who is responsible for the incident, Secretary for Labour and Welfare Chris Sun said.

He said all activity under the remaining suspended screens at the venue will be halted, and organizers will work with government officials to determine how best to remove the suspended screens safely.

A massive screen fell from height and struck two performers during a concert in Hong Kong by the city’s most popular boy band, Mirror, leaving a dancer severely injured and the audience in shock.The moving screen plunged from the ceiling midway through a show at the Hong Kong Coliseum on Thursday night. It crashed on a dancer before falling onto another performer. Other performers and staff members immediately rushed to their aid, while some stood stunned.Advertisement“The entire hall screamed,” Ng, a fan who witnessed the incident along with her 11-year-old daughter from the first few rows, told VICE World News. “They laid unmoving on the stage, so we knew they must have been hurt really badly,” said Ng, who provided only her last name.“No one knew how to react because no one ever expected an accident of this scale,” said Sharon, who asked to be identified only by her first name.The organizer abruptly ended the concert and instructed the audience to leave the venue immediately. On her way out, Sharon saw audience members who had fainted as well as many in tears. She herself could not recover from the shock till late at night.

Selected through a reality television talent show, the 12-member ensemble saw a meteoric rise to stardom since they debuted in 2018. The idols attracted legions of devoted fans and snatched top awards across the region, injecting new life into Cantopop. The tragedy was particularly upsetting for followers of Mirror who found refuge in the band’s sprightly dance amid the gloom of the pandemic and the city’s authoritarian turn under Beijing’s tightening control.Despite Mirror’s commercial success, ViuTV, the company that backed the group, has routinely come under criticism for exploitation. They were accused of stretching meager budgets to meet their goals and paying subcontractors far below the industry standards.The dancer, who was directly hit by the screen, remained in intensive care by Friday evening. He was conscious and able to communicate with the doctor, Lo Ting-fai, CEO of the concert organizer MakerVille, told the press on Friday. Local media reported that he suffered spinal fractures and his limbs were paralyzed. Another dancer had minor injuries, including muscle strains and scrapes.AdvertisementLo apologized and pledged to thoroughly investigate the incident, while the organizer later canceled the remaining gigs, which were originally set to run daily till August 6.An initial probe by authorities found that one of two metal cords holding the screen snapped. The Hong Kong government, which manages the venue, is also responsible for issuing safety permits prior to the show.The horrifying incident followed a string of accidents that have plagued the concert since its start on Monday and sparked concerns from fans. On Tuesday night, Frankie Chan Sui-fai, a group member, fell off the stage. The fall prompted more than 13,000 fans to sign an online petition calling on the organizers to ensure the safety of the performers.During the first two shows, fans also noticed that some of the elevated platforms the pop stars were standing on were wobbly. “People are very upset because we have spoken out, urging the organizer to address the issue of safety, yet this still occurred,” Sharon said.Some have blamed the accidents on shoddy structures and a lack of time for sufficient preparation.“I’ve never been part of a show that could not complete a full run before it starts,” a member of the production team told VICE World News. “There wasn’t enough time and everything was hastily done. They might have underestimated the complexity of the performance and contraptions.”Ahfa Wong Wai-kwan, manager of the band, repeatedly rebuked the producer for technical mishaps during rehearsals. Many of the platforms did not move on cue and sometimes shifted while performers were dancing, causing them to stumble, according to the staff member. The producer assured them the set would work properly during the actual performance.The final dress rehearsal, which was supposed to take place the evening before the first show on Monday, was cut short in the wee hours, after a dancer fell into a hole and was sent to a hospital. It prompted outrage from other dancers, who protested with black screens on Instagram.“I believe every witness will suffer from some degree of PTSD,” the production staff member added.Follow Rachel Cheung on Twitter and Instagram.

His post said: A horrible accident erupted as a Hong Kong singing and dancing boy band was hosting their first concert, injuring at least two dancers.

The wife of a dancer who was injured when a large screen fell onto the stage during the boy band Mirror"s performance last week recently spoke out about the incident.

According to the South China Morning Post Chang Tsz-fung was one of the dancers injured by the screen when it fell last week. In a recent video posted to Facebook, Chang"s wife, Catherine Lui, spoke about the incident saying that her husband "could not see the LED screen when it was about to fall down."

"He ran forward and tried to help [Mo Lee Kai-yin] when he saw it happen," she said in the video, discussing the other dancer who was injured by the screen. "He tried to hold the screen, but it was too heavy and he fell under the screen."

Shortly after the incident, the Post reported that at least three individuals were injured by the screen, including one of the band"s prominent dancers, Mo. The concert was cancelled immediately after the screen fell, with the band"s manager telling fans, "I hope you can all leave in an orderly manner.… I"m sorry. I promise to settle your tickets and promise we will handle the show to ensure [everyone"s] safety," the Post reported.

In the recent video posted to Facebook, Chang"s wife said that some news reports were "falsely" describing his condition and that he was undergoing daily physical therapy. Chang"s wife also described the moment her husband noticed Mo was injured by the screen, saying Mo was able to lift the screen and allow Chang to move from underneath it after it fell.

A few days before the screen fell onto the band during their performance, one of the band"s singers Chan Sui-fai was seen falling off the stage while speaking to the crowd.

"Sorry for making everyone worry. I was too focused on my words. Only some bruises. I"m a lucky man," the singer said in a social media post after the fall, the Post reported.

More than a dozen performers were on stage at the Hong Kong Coliseum late Thursday night when the screen appeared to come loose from one of the two metal cords from which it was suspended. It landed directly on one dancer before falling backward onto another, eliciting screams from a crowd of thousands.

The Hospital Authority said one of the dancers was in intensive care in serious condition, and underwent an operation on Friday afternoon at Queen Elizabeth Hospital. The other person was in stable condition and was discharged from the same hospital on Friday afternoon. No details of their injuries were provided.

“After the accident, I saw some audience members fainted, and some cried outside the stadium,” Tang, 42, a customer service executive, said via Facebook Messenger. “They were happy to watch the performance, but everyone left with an angry, heavy, sad and worried mood. Now we just hope the victims are safe.”

Kevin Yeung, the Hong Kong secretary for culture, sports and tourism, said Friday that one of the metal cords had snapped, causing the screen to fall.

Relatives of the injured dancers are returning to Hong Kong from overseas, Yeung said. Covid-19 restrictions in the Chinese territory require all travelers from overseas to complete seven days of hotel quarantine, although they are sometimes allowed to leave to visit loved ones in hospitals.

Chris Sun, the secretary for labor and welfare, said his department would also thoroughly investigate the matter and take legal action if appropriate.

MakerVille, one of the concert organizers, apologized for the accident in a statement and said it was investigating. The eight remaining concerts in the 12-show series have been canceled and tickets will be refunded.

This was not the first accident to take place during the Mirror concert series, which began Monday. Band member Frankie Chan accidentally stepped off the edge of the stage on Tuesday night, The South China Morning Post reported. He fell about three feet and posted on social media later that he was bruised but otherwise fine.

Fans then started an online petition calling on concert organizers to “ensure the safety of all performers,” citing Chan’s fall along with other perceived safety issues. The petition had gathered more than 12,000 signatures before the accident on Thursday.

A Hong Kong government statement said the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, which manages the Hong Kong Coliseum, and the Labor Department had contacted the concert organizer on Wednesday about the recent incidents and requested a safety review.

The accident greatly jarred concertgoers as well as the broader community. The Hong Kong Red Cross, which set up a dedicated counseling hotline, said it had received 77 calls and 76 text messages as of 4 p.m. Friday. The group said most people reported feeling sad, scared and worried, with many of them saying they could not sleep or focus on their work or studies.

“Members of the public are advised to avoid watching relevant video clips, and should also be cautious about their exposure to the information related to the incident,” Karen Tam, the Hospital Authority’s senior clinical psychologist, said in a statement. “They should always be aware of their emotions and maintain regular life. When necessary, they should talk to people they trust.”

Mirror is a boy band that sings in Cantonese, the local language in Hong Kong. Its 12 members rose to prominence after they appeared as contestants on a television talent show called “King Maker” in 2018.

While not as globally famous asSouth Korea’s BTS, their faces are unavoidable in Hong Kong, appearing on countless billboards, advertisements, and even on public transportation. Band members have served as brand ambassadors for companies including Gucci, McDonald’s and HSBC.

They also have a devoted fan base. Since the accident on Thursday, the hashtag #Weareoneandall — a reference to one of the group’s songs — has been trending on social media, with fans showing solidarity and posting trigger warnings concerning the graphic video. Some Mirror fans have also changed their social media icons to a blank black screen.

“Hong Kong people love Hong Kong, [and] project it to a group rooted in Hong Kong,” said Tang, the concertgoer. “I hope Hong Kong people will be strong and endure hard times together with Mirror!”

HONG KONG --A back-up dancer for the Cantopop boy band Mirror is in intensive care after being hit by a giant video panel that fell from the ceiling during a concert in Hong Kong.

Five people were injured when the panel -- measuring about four square meters -- fell onto the stage during the show at the Hong Kong Coliseum near Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong police told CNN.

None of the band"s 12 members were injured, police said. Three people were taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital for treatment, including the seriously injured dancer and a second performer described as being in a stable condition, according to the hospital.

Video of the moment the screen crashed onto the dancers went viral on social media, and local charities have set up hotlines for any of the 10,000 people who attended the concert and are traumatized by what they saw.

The remaining eight shows in the group"s Hong Kong concert series have since been canceled and Hong Kong"s Chief Executive John Lee has called for an investigation.

"I have contacted the Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism, and instructed the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, together with relevant departments, to comprehensively investigate the incident and review the safety requirements of similar performance activities in order to protect the safety of performers, working staff and members of the public," Lee said.

"From initial observation, a wire fractured and led to the fall of the screen and caused the dancers to be injured," Yeung told reporters Friday. Hong Kong"s Labour Department Secretary Chris Sun said Friday he will not rule out legal action against those responsible.

In a statement on Facebook, the organizer of the concert, Makerville, apologized for causing "unease to viewers or others affected" and said that people who attended Thursday"s concert would be eligible for a refund.

The incident occurred even after fans at three earlier shows warned that the stage and set seemed unstable, creating a petition asking for the concert organizers to ensure performers" safety.

Live entertainment gigs are perhaps some of the most thrilling experiences that one can hope to attend. After all, nothing quite beats being able to witness your favourite artists up close in person, while sharing in the buzz of excitement brought on by other concert-goers alike. However, fans of Cantopop boy band MIRROR were left horrified after tragedy suddenly struck mid-way during one of their live performances yesterday (July 28th 2022) evening.

According to The Hong Kong Free Press, the concert had been held at Hong Kong’s historic Hung Hom Coliseum arena as part of a string of 12 shows. Video footage of the shocking incident show how the massive LCD screen had come loose from its mountings from the ceiling, before tilting at an angle and crashing down onto a group of male dancers below.

One corner of the screen appears to have struck a dancer directly over his torso and face, before toppling over onto another dancer. Production crews were quick to cut power to the lights just seconds after the calamity took place. Crowds were immediately instructed to exit the arena space.

As many as five people were believed to be injured as a result of the incident, with Hong Kong police confirming that two have been hospitalised. One dancer remains in critical condition at the intensive care unit of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, while the other is now in stable condition. A number of female fans present had also received treatment for shock.

MIRROR is considered to be one of Hong Kong most eminent pop bands. Formed in 2018, they have been credited with a new resurgence of interest in Cantopop music, otherwise known as Cantonese pop music.

A lot of chaotic, dangerous things have seemingly been happening at big pop concerts lately. Earlier this week, fans snuck fireworks into Dua Lipa’s Toronto show and set them off inside the arena. Last night in Hong Kong, something significantly worse happened. The hugely popular boy band Mirror were performing at a Hong Kong arena when a giant video screen fell onto two backup dancers, leaving both of them injured.

Last night, as The New York Times reports, Mirror were in the middle of a 12-show residency at the Hong Kong Coliseum, a venue that seats 12,500 people, when a video screen fell, landing edge-down on the neck of one backup dancer. The screen then fell backwards on top of that dancer and another. Both dancers have been hospitalized, and one of them is in intensive care. According to authorities, the screen measured about 210 square feet and weighed about 1,300 pounds.

22:35 (1) During Edan & Anson Lo’s performance, a giant LED monitor hung from the ceiling with wires fell and landed almost directly on a backup dancer (Mo). Another dancer (Fung) tried to soften the monitor’s fall by holding it up, but also fell under its weight.

There’s footage of the screen falling, but you should be advised that it’s graphic and disturbing. This isn’t a funny video of someone falling onstage; it’s a scene of what looks like an actual life-threatening accident.

Horrific. Massive TV screen falls on dancer during #Mirror concert in Hong Kong. Extremely disturbing footage. People in HK tell me accusations of negligence have flown since Day 1 of rehearsals on part of engineering company that set up the stage. Prayers this dancer survives. pic.twitter.com/jpGRQJ9cNF

When the screen fell, Mirror members Edan and Anson Lo were reportedly performing, and they didn’t immediately realize what had happened behind them. As the other dancers tried to lift the screen off of their colleagues, the Mirror members tried to check on them before officials removed them from the stage so that emergency personnel could come in.

John Lee, chief executive of Hong Kong, says that he’s asked government agencies to “review the safety requirements of similar performance activities.” Hong Kong authorities also claim that they contacted concert organizers to ask about “stage incidents in the past few days” before the screen fell. This follows an incident on Tuesday night when Mirror member Frankie Chan Sui-fai fell off the Hong Kong Coliseum stage while performing. He wasn’t seriously hurt. After the screen fell, the venue cancelled the rest of Mirror’s shows.

Mirror, a 12-member boy band, were formed in 2018, through a reality TV show. They sing in Cantonese, and they were influenced by K-pop acts like BTS. The group’s popularity grew through the past few years, working as an escapist outlet for Hong Kong residents who have been rocked by the pandemic, as well as a Chinese government crackdown and the attendant protests that followed. The members of the group have been painstakingly apolitical, but their music has still reportedly served as an engine of excitement for young people in Hong Kong.

Concertgoers in Hong Kong were left stunned when a suspended video screen fell onto the stage injuring two dancers at a performance by the popular Cantopop boyband Mirror on Thursday night.

Screams erupted in the Hong Kong Coliseum when the massive screen appeared to come loose from one of two metal cords suspending it in the air. The edge of the screen landed directly on top of one dancer before falling over flat onto another.

According to local media reports, the dancer who was struck first, Lee Kai-yin (also called Ah Mo), is in serious condition. As of Friday, he was still in the intensive care unit at Queen Elizabeth Hospital. One Hong Kong newspaper reported the dancer fractured the third and fourth vertebrae in his neck and claimed his limbs were also paralyzed. It remains unclear whether Qiyan will regain mobility of his limbs.

The concert organizer MakerVille has pledged to investigate the incident. The eight remaining Mirror concerts in their 12-show run have been cancelled and tickets will be refunded.

The Hong Kong secretary for culture, sports and tourism, Kevin Yeung, revealed during a press conference on Friday that faulty suspension cords caused the screen to fall.

Yeung also claimed that government personnel would help investigate how the screen fell in order to ensure safety for future performances at the Hong Kong Coliseum, which is managed by the country’s government.

Chris Sun, the secretary for labour and welfare, also spoke at the press conference, claiming the government will pursue legal action if the investigation deems it necessary.

On Tuesday, one Mirror group member, Frankie Chan Sui-fai, reportedly fell off the stage, prompting over 13,000 fans to sign a petition demanding improved safety measures be put in place.

Fans also complained about visibly wobbly platforms and improper technical cues causing Mirror members and background dancers to stumble and fall during earlier shows.

Vice News reported one dancer fell into a hole and was sent to hospital during a dress rehearsal on Monday. Several of the other dancers on the tour then uploaded black screens to Instagram in protest of the working conditions.

An unnamed member of the production crew spoke to Vice News, claiming there was not enough time to even run a full dress rehearsal for the show before concerts began.

“There wasn’t enough time and everything was hastily done,” the crewmember said. “They might have underestimated the complexity of the performance and contraptions.”

The boy bandMirror was performing at the Hong Kong Coliseum on Thursday night (July 28), when one of the large LED video monitors above the stage came crashing down onto one of the dancers and knocking over another, according to video that has gone viral from the concert.

The two performers were hospitalized, as one reportedly suffered a head injury and is in stable condition and the other sustained a neck injury and is in serious condition, according to the South China Morning Post.

The 12-piece boy band’s remaining shows of the “MIRROR.WEARE” concert series at the Coliseum — which was supposed to run through Aug. 5 — have since been suspended.

The devastating accident comes just two days after another incident at Tuesday’s Mirror show at the Hong Kong Coliseum. During the group’s July 26 performance, member Frankie Chan fell off the stage while giving a speech. As a result, more than 13,000 fans have signed a petitionurging organizers to be more aware of safety for their performers. A fence was then installed by the stage, and Frankie told fans he is OK.

Mirror"s concert series at Hong Kong Coliseum began on July 25 and was supposed to have a total of 12 shows running through to August 5, Variety reported.

One witness told Variety : “I have never felt this terrible going to a concert. Walking out of the Coliseum felt like walking out of a funeral home. It was sombre, no one was talking.

“Some other girls among the audience were crying. Another friend, who’s a mother, questioned why such a horrible, unacceptable incident could happen in Hong Kong, at the Coliseum.”

News reporter Ezra Cheung shared a clip of the incident to Twitter. His post said: "A horrible accident erupted as a Hong Kong singing and dancing boy band was hosting their first concert, injuring at least two dancers.

HONG KONG — Hong Kong officials said Friday they would open an investigation into a concert accident in which a giant video screen fell down onto the stage and injured two dancers.

Video clips from the Cantopop group Mirror concert Thursday night show a massive LED screen suspended above the stage crashing down, directly landing on one dancer before toppling over onto another as audience members scream in horror.

"If we find anything suspicious, or if any person or unit is involved in misconduct, we will immediately report it to the police," the statement read.

Authorities also revealed their initial findings after inspecting the show venue — the Hong Kong Coliseum — on Friday. The concert on Thursday was the fourth of 12 scheduled concerts by Mirror, with tens of thousands of fans having bought tickets.

Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism Kevin Yeung told reporters Friday the government was "very concerned" about the incident and that an investigation would be conducted, likely over several weeks.

"We will do research to find out whether (the steel cable broke) due to an operational or material problem. It cannot currently be concluded at this stage," said Yeung, adding that the incident will affect "all future performances."

Officers from the Labour Department have collected evidence from the venue and will work to determine who is responsible for the incident, Secretary for Labour and Welfare Chris Sun said.

He said all activity under the remaining suspended screens at the venue will be halted, and organizers will work with government officials to determine how best to remove the suspended screens safely.

Police also said Thursday three audience members were also taken to the hospital, one who felt unwell and two others in a state of shock, but they required no medical treatment.

At Tuesday"s concert, band member Frankie Lui appeared to lose his footing and fall off the edge of the stage while giving a speech, according to clips on social media.

An online petition about safety issues of Mirror concerts was launched the same night and has garnered thousands of signatures. The petition urged organizers to ensure safety for Mirror and its dancers and refrain from using unnecessary stage mechanisms or raised platforms.

A local hospital said one performer suffered neck injuries and was in serious condition in intensive care while another was stable, the South China Morning Post reported. Those injured have not been named.

"I am shocked by the incident" said the city"s new leader John Lee, adding "I express sympathy to those who were injured and hope that they would recover soon".

At least two dancers performing with the HK-pop group MIRROR were injured after a video screen fell onto the stage during a concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum on Thursday night. Fan-captured footage of the incident can be seen below (warning: it’s graphic).

According to Hong Kong’s The Standard, the injured dancers were taken by ambulance to a local hospital. One of the individuals suffered neck injuries and is reportedly in serious condition; the other sustained injuries to his head and is listed in stable condition. Three audience members were treated for shock.

This is the second such on-stage incident to occur at a MIRROR concert in recent days. During an earlier show on Tuesday, a member of the group fell off of the stage while giving a speech. That incident, as well as apparent images of rickety on-stage platforms and bridges, inspired fans of the group to launch a petition calling on event organizers to improve stage safety. In response, MIRROR reportedly ceased performing “dangerous moves” on top of platforms, and a fence was installed to prevent further falls from the stage.

HONG KONG — One dancer remained in critical condition after a large, heavy video screen fell from the ceiling during a concert by a popular boy band during a concert in Hong Kong on Thursday, officials said.

Two male dancers were hurt when the LED screen fell at a Mirror concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum, The Washington Postreported. One of them was discharged from an area hospital but the other remains in critical condition with neck injuries, according to Variety and the South China Morning Post.

“One of the injured is staying in the intensive care unit in serious condition and underwent an operation (Friday),” the Hospital Authority said in a statement. “Accompanied by his family, the other injured person in stable condition was discharged this afternoon.”

While government officials have not named the two dancers, local media outlets have identified the men as Mo Lee Kai-yin, 27, who remains hospitalized; and Chang Tsz-fung, 29, who was released, according to Variety.

Mirror, a 12-member song and dance group, is popular in Hong Kong for its pop music in Cantonese, also known as Cantopop, The Washington Post reported. The group was performing when the screen fell at about 10:35 p.m. local time.

The screen directly landed on one dancer before toppling onto another as members in the audience screamed in horror, according to The Associated Press.

Kevin Yeung Yun-hung, Hong Kong’s secretary for culture, sports and tourism, told reporters on Friday that one of the screen’s suspension cables had broken.

According to the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, which manages the coliseum, each screen measured 210 square feet, The New York Times reported.

Citing unnamed medical sources, the South China Morning Postreported that Mo underwent eight hours of surgery at Queen Elizabeth Hospital on Friday. His head and lungs were injured and his third and fourth cervical vertebrae were dislocated, Variety reported.
