After a few teasers and much anticipation, Mirror released their first new single for 2021 in March. Titled Warrior, the song was produced by leading K-pop hitmaker Hwan Yang in tandem with composer Val Del Prete, who previously worked with K-pop mega girl group Twice.

An inspiring exploration of hope, determination and perseverance, the pop track instantly became a chart-topping hit and resonated with listeners across the city for its upbeat melodies, powerful vocals and choreography.

From music to fashion and merchandise, Mirror seem to be popping up everywhere and their popularity is undeniable. Most of Mirror’s focus is on their music and performances, but the members have also spent quite a bit of time on camera, participating in a variety of TV shows which allow audiences to see the hard work and playful side behind the bright lights.

Back in June, the group dropped a new reality series called Be A Better Mirror. This show is especially fun and emotionally satisfying to watch as it captures the members’ raw, true emotions while offering an in-depth look at their personal life, and interactions with one another. Whether you’re an OG fan or have just been recently mersmerised by Mirror, this show is a must-watch. 

Mirror’s “One & All” Live Concert in June was certainly a big moment in the group’s career, with all tickets sold out quickly for six shows. The concert achieved the highest-ever ticket sales for the group, and fans agreed the show had the setlist of everyone’s dreams because it featured a great mix of old and new songs, accompanied by dazzling performances of solo songs and K-pop hits with personal touches.

Just one month after Mirror successfully wrapped up their concert, the boys released their second group song for the year, Boss, delighting fans with a new, joyous track. Aside from the catchy and uplifting melody, meaningful lyrics, it’s the backdrop of the iconic Hong Kong Disneyland and the members’ fashionable outfit changes that make the song a masterpiece.  

When ViuTV announced that three members of Mirror—Anson Lo, Edan Lui and Stanley Yau—would take part in the remake of the popular Japanese gay drama, Ossan’s Love, it left us all with a question: “Is there anything the Mirror members can’t do?

Released back in June, the TV series had swiftly become the talk of the town, which also won the members immense popularity thanks to their amazing chemistry and great performances in the drama. While this was not the first time Mirror played lead roles in dramas, it’s safe to say that Ossan’s Love has been a pretty pivotal moment in their career, as evident by its strong viewership ratings.

Mirror’s rise to success also includes a slew of partnerships with high profile brands. In September and October, the members had swept the city with excitement and buzz when they were appointed as ambassadors for Samsung and McDonald's Hong Kong. The ‘Mirror effect’ on consumers was powerful, with the two companies being able to achieve record sales and have their posts on social media receiving a great amount of engagement.
