How was Collar formed?
Collar was formed by ViuTV through King Maker IV—the fourth season of the reality show that gave birth to Hong Kong boy band Mirror in the first series. All eight members of the group are winners and outstanding contestants chosen from the reality show.
Collar hit the music scene on January 12 with their debut single Call My Name!, and the group is already earning widespread acclaim for their powerful vocals and impeccable choreography.
Why are they called Collar?
The group’s name is a reference to a woman’s most beautiful, attractive body part—collarbone—which is representative of the act’s desire to enchant the audience with their talents and stellar performances.
