After two years, Keung To is set to hold a concert themed "LAVA," which signifies volcanic lava. In Keung's view, "LAVA" embodies both the fluidity of water and the characteristics of fire, symbolizing the balance of yin and yang. During these two years, he has grown and reflected on himself, wishing to convey to his fans through the concert that he has now achieved a balanced personality and found his own life philosophy—one that exudes a sense of liberation akin to "breaking out of a cocoon." He plans to present the yin-yang contrast from the bagua through a combination of Eastern and Western music and costume design, while also allowing space for the audience's imagination.
Keung explained, "When making music, you also need to balance your preferences with the audience's; you have to maintain a balanced mindset when receiving criticism from others."
Everything has its opposites, and looking back at past negative reviews, Keung now sees them as a positive thing. "In the end, they all became nourishment for my growth." Keung has even learned to view negative comments as an opportunity for self-discovery. "Since others say something negative about me, I need to objectively assess myself. Sometimes, I have to look at it from a third-party perspective to see if there's any truth in what they're saying instead of being too subjective."
Keung candidly admitted that due to the accumulation of negative energy in the industry, he initially lacked the energy to manage his appearance after his debut. He has encountered various negative comments online, including ones from mainland netizens labeling him as "can not popular out of Lo Wu," and even faced ridicule after being rescued from drowning. He approaches these challenges with a "tactical" strategy of morning runs, while "strategically" going with the flow. "A few days ago, a senior told me, just do what you want to do at the moment, think of everyone as NPCs (non-player characters). Life is only lived once, so if you really want to eat, then eat—it's a personal choice." He jokingly remarked that he might become a "fat but useful person" in the future.
Previously, he was humorously referred to as the "look-in-mirrors lover" by his fellow MIRROR members. However, he now states, "It doesn't matter if my hair looks messy during the performance; just let it be. A good performer shouldn't mind these things; if you do, then the performance isn't pure. You should focus your energy on expressing the work, as you are merely a medium and don't need to concern yourself with your appearance."
Regarding his future development, he is not in a rush to make promises to his fans. "I won't specifically resist continuing in the future or insist on not doing so; it will depend on my mindset at the time. But I hope," he continued, "that whatever happens, it will be a choice that makes me happy."
"Life is about making yourself happy," he said.
