Mirror (group)

  • ... that Mirror, a Hong Kong Cantopop music group, held its first concert less than two months after its debut?

    Source:

    • 陳栢宇 (3 November 2018). "【全民造星】男團MIRROR九展騷紅館價? 花姐:啲飛賣晒都會蝕!" [[King Maker] Boy band MIRROR's show at Kowloonbay International Trade & Exhibition Centre with Hong Kong Coliseum's price Ahfa: It will be a loss even if the tickets are sold out!] (in Chinese (Hong Kong)). HK01.

      The article notes that "ViuTV今日(3日)在鑽石山舉行發布會,宣佈男子組合MIRROR正式誕生...". Translation: "ViuTV organizes a press conference today (date 3 [November]) in Diamond Hill, announcing the official debut of boy group MIRROR."

      The article then notes that "MIRROR首個演唱會《2018 THE FIRST MIRROR LIVE CONCERT》將於12月21日和九展舉行". Translation: "MIRROR first concert 2018 THE FIRST MIRROR LIVE CONCERT will be held on 21 December at Kowloonbay International Trade & Exhibition Centre."

    • ALT1:... that Keung To, a member of Mirror, became the youngest person to receive the "My Favourite Male Singer Award" at the Ultimate Song Chart Awards Presentation at the age of 21? Source: "The 21-year-old is the youngest person to win the 'Favourite Male Singer' and 'Favourite Song' awards at the Ultimate Song Chart Awards Presentation" [1]
  • Comment: The alt is one of the two only English sources I could find related so I think it might be worth appearing in DYK.

    • ALT2:... that Mirror, a Hong Kong Cantopop music group which does not want to go for a "K-pop feel", performed Korean pop songs at their concert?

      Source:

      • 趙允琳 (22 December 2018). "MIRROR演唱會拒走韓風? Anson Lo:花姐approve就一定唔「韓」" [Mirror's concert refuses to go Korean trends? Anson Lo: Ahfa has approved so it must not be "Korean".] (in Chinese (Hong Kong)). HK01.

        The article notes that "除了姜濤帶來韓文歌《Love Song》外,他和Anson Lo表演的韓文歌《Trouble Maker》...花姐之前在節目裏曾公開批評不希望有「韓風」的感覺". Translation: "Besides Keung To performing Korean song Love Song, he and Anson Lo also performed Korean song Trouble Maker... Ahfa[, the manager of the group,] previously criticized publicly in a TV show that she doesn't want to go for a 'K-pop feel'."

  • Added another alt hook since it might somewhat be interesting. Sun8908Talk 09:10, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
    • ALT3:... that a Hong Kong music group Mirror is considered to be the new generation of Cantopop after Eason Chan?

      Source:

      • "The recent debate over the emergence of pop star Keung To is the first time in years Canto-pop has been talked about." "...Eason Chan, the last king of Canto-pop who reached the peak of his career in the 2000s, are already history" [2] (archived)
      • "Many of them are saying that the 12-member boy band is changing Canto-pop." [3]
  • Adding another hook since other editors added the sources in the article and more sources came out after/during the concert of the group held last week. The aforementioned "only English sources" is no longer the point. Sun8908Talk 16:44, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited: Yes - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: None required.
Overall: ALT2 is approved. (ALT0 and ALT3 are not in the article's text, ALT1 lists an award that doesn't have an article, so it might not be notable.) Earwig found a possible copyright violation with DimSumDaily [4] but DSD posted their work after this article already had the text, so I think DSD copied from Wikipedia. No QPQ required because it's the nominator's first DYK. Z1720 (talk) 00:15, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
