| Keung To fans spend money to broadcast his birthday |
I'm walking around a shopping mall in downtown Vancouver called Pacific Centre and I see not one but two large screens showing a video compilation of Keung To, one of the more popular singers from the Hong Kong boy band Mirror!
It turns out it's his birthday on April 30, and his fans here have enough $$$ to rent space on a digital billboard in a major shopping mall to display their love for him!
Back in the 1980s fans of Cantopop stars like Leslie Cheung Kwok-wing, Anita Mui Yim-fong and Jacky Cheung Hok-yau would buy ginormous bouquets of flowers to give them personally at their concerts.
Now in 2022 and fans have gone all digital with massive billboards and way more money involved.
It's the same kind of fervent dedication, but with deeper pockets thanks to crowdfunding...
