Hong Kong pop band MIRROR member Keung To has returned to work just one day after a startling fall into the sea near the Western Wholesale Food Market on June 24, sparking widespread concern and speculation about his well-being.
Exclusive Footage Reveals Rescue Moment
Newly released footage from local TV program Scoop captured the chaotic scene, with Keung heard shouting "Help!" before being rescued by a passing boat. Eyewitness Mr. Chan described the incident: "He fell from a protruding pier area. I heard shouting and saw someone throw a lifebuoy—he was conscious but struggling."
Conflicting Accounts Emerge
Keung initially downplayed the incident on his manager's Instagram, calling it a "small accident" while assuring fans he was unharmed. His agency, MAKERVILLE, later stated he had been "running along the waterfront when dizziness struck," leading to the fall. However, speculation grew after reports suggested possible intoxication or emotional distress.
At the airport before departing for Paris Fashion Week, Keung admitted to "taking medication and drinking alcohol" before the fall but denied any intentional self-harm. "I just wanted to relax by the water—it was a mistake to climb over the railing," he confessed, visibly fatigued. "I've learned my lesson."
Fan Reactions and Industry Scrutiny
The incident has reignited debates about celebrity mental health and media scrutiny. Some fans expressed relief at his quick recovery, while others questioned whether industry pressures contributed to the incident.
Keung is expected to proceed with his Paris commitments, though concerns linger over his abrupt return to work. "I didn't want rumors to spread," he explained, "so I chose to show I'm okay."
