Lo most recently caused hearts to flutter on ViuTV’s latest smash-hit series, Ossan's Love, a so-called boy love drama adapted from a Japanese series of the same name about a romance between three men, one of whom is middle-aged and married. The real Anson Lo inspires such devotion that his hardcore fans have crowdfunded some HK$100,000 (S$17,000) to splash his face on a Tsim Sha Tsui billboard and the side of KMB buses as part of a citywide campaign to help him celebrate his 26th birthday on Wednesday. “My wife has forced me to take a new English name, Anson, so that she can tell her friends she is the wife of Anson Lo,” Lo Kwan-ho wrote on the page, referring to Anson Lo Hon Ting, a Mirror member. In a winking display of self-pity, they have taken to referring to themselves as “the ex-husbands”. Tens of thousands of Hong Kong husbands claiming to be “victims” of Mirror have flocked to the page to share their stories. The page, jokingly called the “My Wife Married Mirror and Left My Marriage in Ruins Concern Group”, has drawn over 200,000 followers in just three days. Little did he know his group would become an overnight internet sensation. “I thought to myself, it would be pretty cool if a few hundred men joined this page, just to vent.” “I felt that there must be other husbands who felt the same way I did towards their wives adoring these idols,” RC said. Last Saturday evening, feeling a bit sore about his wife’s heart being stolen by the young artists, RC started a Facebook page with the aim of uniting other husbands who felt the same. “She never stopped talking about them, and would suddenly turn smitten whenever she saw their pictures or images on the street,” he says. RC learned that his 30-year-old wife and her female friends had recently joined Mirror’s fan club, and had been obsessed with everything about the stars ever since. He was one of 12 contestants who stole the show that year, and went on to form the boy band Mirror. The 32-year-old, who asked to be identified only by his nickname, said his wife, a nurse, had suddenly become an expert when it came to printing photos and cardboard cut-outs, an authority on a particular brand of washing machine, and an avid consumer of massive amounts of cosmetics and home goods.Īs it turned out, all the goods had been endorsed by local singer Keung To, who rose to fame after joining ViuTV’s reality show talent contest King Maker in 2018. RC, a former tour guide, had been happily married to his wife for over two years when he recently noticed she was behaving strangely.
