Anson Kong from Hong Kong boy band Mirror is one of the city’s most loved singers. For his birthday, we rounded up the young talent’s most stylish looks to date, both on and off-stage
Every time the Hong Kong boy band Mirror performs on stage or attends an event, millions of fans flock to the show to cheer on their favourite idols.
The Canto-pop sensation—consisting of 12 members including Frankie Chan, Alton Wong, Lokman Yeung, Stanley Yau, Anson Kong, Jer Lau, Ian Chan, Anson Lo, Jeremy Lee, Edan Lui, Keung To and Tiger Yau—is loved for its captivating music, gorgeous choreography and good looks. But these aren’t the only things to watch for.
The boys have also time and again proven their impeccable style since their debut—be it on stage, at fashion events, or even off-camera. And Anson Kong (who is better known by his stage name AK), the vice-leader of Mirror, is one of the best-dressed of the bunch. As we gush over the stylish pieces from AK’s new clothing line, let’s take a look at some of the young talent's most notable looks through the years.

It’s impossible to discuss AK’s sartorial strengths without bringing up his suit looks. He started the year wearing an elegant black suit for the Ultimate Song Chart Awards Presentation 2023. The hair, the black blazer, the mysterious aura—perfection.
More recently, he made a remarked appearance at the Busan International Film Festival where he won the Asia Contents Awards and Global OTT Awards. He attended the ceremony wearing a simple black and white suit with a bow tie. Right on point.
2. Stylish while honouring his heritage

AK is never afraid of experimenting, and it shows. During Mirror’s 2024 Passion concert tour, the performer has been seen both onstage and offstage wearing outfits celebrating Chinese and Asian cultural heritage—from a modern blue Tang suit to a kimono-like black vest embroidered with dragons.
3. Looking good in his own brand, Kyubi

Kyubi, which means nine-tailed fox in Japanese, was set up on Kong’s 29 birthday in 2021. This mythological creature is said to fulfil dreams and protect one’s wishes, making it a fitting name for Kong’s brand, which is his dream-come-true moment.
Positioned as a street fashion brand, it offers a vibrant array of wardrobe essentials such as trendy T-shirts and bucket hats, often with its signature floral logo. The label collaborates with beloved franchises like anime One Piece, The Little Prince and Disney to launch special collections.
4. Casual denim jackets

When he could have gone glam, AK shows that he knows how to fit a cosy outfit with classic denim jackets. With a tie or a plain white tee shirt, he's achieving a look that’s both comfy and chic. A low-key outfit doesn’t have to mean boring.
5. Cosy streetwear

While AK’s style is impressive all year round, his fall/winter sweater outfits are some of our favourites. He often donned colourful sweaters for luxury fashion campaigns that are equal parts sweet and sleek, but can also slay a jersey that goes well with his boyish charm and bright personality.
6. Bonus: Anson Kong is the most iconic when he keeps it natural

Of course, Anson Kong looks great in a wider range of outfits, but there’s nothing that he wears better than his abs. The 31-year-old spends a lot of time keeping fit and maintaining his physique, and it shows.
