Edan Lui Cheuk-on (Chinese: りょ爵安; born 21 January 1997), is a Hong Kong singer, actor, presenter, and a member of the Hong Kong boy group MIRROR. Apart from his group activities, Edan made his solo debut in 2021 and has presented various television variety shows such as Be ON Game, and starred in television dramas, most notably Ossan's Love (2021), as well as several feature films, including Chilli Laugh Story and Hong Kong Family.

Life and career

[edit]

Background and debut

[edit]

Edan was born in Hong Kong on 21 January 1997. He attended Salesian Yip Hon Millennium Primary School in Kwai Chung and the acclaimed Ho Fung College. Edan achieved high scores in the HKDSE.[1] While studying business administration at the University of Hong Kong in 2018, Edan auditioned for ViuTV's reality talent competition Good Night Show - King Maker playing piano and singing Tanya Chua's "Blank Space", which put him through to the Top 50 and eventually into the Top 10. Prior to the competition, Edan was already a holder of Grade 8 certificates in both piano and violin, and is known to have perfect pitch. Edan finished the competition in eighth place, earning him a spot in the twelve-member boy group MIRROR. The group debuted on 3 November 2018[2] with the single "In a Second" (Chinese: いち秒間びょうかん).[3]

Music

[edit]

In January 2021, Edan was the sixth MIRROR member to have his solo debut. His first single, "Mr. E's Series of Unfortunate Events" (E先生せんせい 連環れんかん不幸ふこう事件じけん)[4] topped the 903 Top 20, Metro Radio Madden Song Chart and Chill Club charts. It also topped JOOX Hong Kong's Best-Selling Song Chart of Mid-2021.[5] Later that year, he also released singles "Little Comedian" (しょう諧星) and "My Apple Pie" as a solo artist, as well as "Talents" (いちひょう人才じんさい) / "A Promising Young Man" (としけい有為ゆうい) as a pair of duets with Taiwanese singer Kenny Khoo (Qiu Fengze). Edan's musical pursuits in 2021 gained him the Newcomer Award at the 2021 Metro Radio Hit Awards, the Silver Newcomer Award at the 2021 Ultimate Song Chart Awards, and the Silver Newcomer Award at the 2021/2022 Chill Club Chart Awards.

On 1 April 2022, Edan released his first dance single, "Elevator". The song is also the first of Edan's solo singles to feature him rapping.

In June 2022, Edan sang a duet with Leo Ku as part of Ku's special album, IRLTS (I Really Love To Sing) which revisits his old songs and re-releases them as collaborations. Edan features on the first single, Floating Classroom (漂流ひょうりゅう教室きょうしつ), which was originally released in 2004.

Edan's fifth single, "LOVERSE", was released at midnight on New Year's Day of 2023.

Later in May, Edan released his first single in the synth-rock genre, "ChatMrE", a commentary on the role of artificial intelligence in the creative process and in romance.

In preparation for his "In My Sight of E" solo concert,[6] Edan released three more singles starting July 2023 in order to expand and diversify his discography. Originally, he had planned to release at least five more tracks, but was only able to release three due to time constraints.[7]

The first of the three consists of slow ballad "Mr. E's License to Love" (E先生せんせい 愛人あいじんあきら), a continuation of "Mr. E's Series of Unfortunate Events" (E先生せんせい連環れんかん不幸ふこう事件じけん), making the two songs part of an ongoing series.[8] The second track, "Again!" came out three days before the first show of the concert. A third track, "Come With Me" (霸道總裁そうさい), was released the following day, and serves as Edan's second dance number since "Elevator". "Come With Me" does not have a music video yet, and so the dance will be shown for the first time at the concert starting 25 August 2023.

Television

[edit]

Edan made his acting debut on the sitcom Showman's Show (娛樂ごらく風雲ふううん) (2019), playing a religious young man who dreams of debuting in a boy band. He played a major supporting role with other MIRROR members as one of the team members in the volleyball drama We are the Littles (おとこはい女將おかみ)(2020), and earned critical acclaim starring as Tin Yat-hung in the romantic comedy drama Ossan's Love (だい叔的あい) (2021), an adaptation of the original Japanese television drama. In July 2022, Edan played Marven Lee, one of the lead roles in iSWIM, which is a ten-episode miniseries directed by Fung Chih-Chiang. Later that year, he also played Tak in the basketball drama We Got Game (ぜんさい) alongside fellow MIRROR members Stanley Yau and Keung To.

In late April 2023, ViuTV announced that they would be filming a Hong Kong adaptation of hit Korean romantic comedy drama Business Proposal (しゃ內相おや),[9] with Edan playing Secretary Alfred Cheung (originally Cha Sung-hoon) and Anson Lo in the role of President Timo Keung (originally Kang Tae-moo), with Shirley Sham and Hanna Chan playing the female leads. The series is set to air near the end of this year.

Film

[edit]

In June 2021, it was announced that Edan would soon make his big screen debut in Lunar New Year comedy Chilli Laugh Story (闔家辣) (2022), co-starring Sandra Ng, Gigi Leung, and Ronald Cheng. Edan plays the role of Coba, who is based on the film's director and screenwriter, Coba Cheng. Edan also sings the original soundtrack "When Life Gives You Chillies" (辣到出汁だし) with Sandra Ng and Gigi Leung. The film's premiere was originally scheduled for February 2022, but was postponed until 14 July 2022 due to cinemas across Hong Kong being closed as a result of COVID pandemic restrictions. The film surpassed HK$10 million at the Hong Kong box office within four days.

Premiering in November 2022, Edan also played a main role, Yeung, in Hong Kong Family (ふし) which also stars Teresa Mo. Hong Kong Family marks Edan's first major role in the dramatic genre. He also sings the original soundtrack, No Matter How Far (よじ上天じょうてんはしごてき螞蟻), for the film.

Edan's roles in Chilli Laugh Story and Hong Kong Family garnered him two nominations in the category of Best New Performer at the 41st Hong Kong Film Awards.[10]

In April 2023, Edan played Messi Cheung in Over My Dead Body (死屍しし死時しにどきよんじゅうよん), a dark comedy in which Edan once again works with Ronald Cheng and Teresa Mo, and also features fellow MIRROR member Jer Lau in a supporting role.

Filming for a new movie titled The Moon Thieves (ぬすめつきしゃ) began in Tokyo in mid-March 2023, and continued into late April in Hong Kong.[11] The film will star Edan in the role of pawned watch embezzler Ma Sang, with fellow MIRROR member Anson Lo, Louis Cheung, and Michael Ning also in leading roles. Fellow MIRROR member Keung To also has a supporting role in the film.

Edan will also feature in Makerville's own film production, WE12 (12おにとう), a comedy action film starring all the members of MIRROR.[12]

Both The Moon Thieves and WE12 do not have estimated release dates for the time being.

In September, Sandra Ng, the producer of Chilli Laugh Story, announced that the film would have a sequel featuring the original cast, this time centering around the theme of mahjong. The film was scheduled to be released around the Lunar New Year period of 2023.[13] However, news of production and filming has yet to be announced.

Voice acting

[edit]

In 2021, Edan took on the role of the Cantonese voice of Finny, a young Nestrian, in the Cantonese dubbed version of 2020 Belgian animated film Ooops! The Adventure Continues alongside Shirley Chan, who voices Leia.

Edan also voiced Hank, a beagle dog who aspires to be a samurai, in the Cantonese dubbed version of Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank. He will once again work with Shirley Chan, as well as fellow MIRROR member Stanley Yau. The film premiered in Hong Kong cinemas starting January 19, 2023.[14]

Variety shows

[edit]

Edan told his manager early during his debut with MIRROR that he wanted to pursue work in variety shows. Despite appearing shy and reserved, Edan displayed his comedic side on MIRROR GO, which saw Edan and his bandmates travel to different countries to take on absurd and dangerous challenges. Following two seasons of MIRROR GO, Edan has also hosted a number of variety shows on ViuTV, including Taiwan Meimei (2019) (臺灣たいわんぶん西にしOnly You), which he hosted alongside Cantonese opera veteran Law Kar-ying, and the game show Battle Feel (こうゆうFeel). His most notable work as a host is for the game show Be ON Game (にかわせん), which has run for three seasons to date. In July 2023, ViuTV aired a five-episode summer special variety show, MIRROR+, hosted by the twelve members of MIRROR.

In September 2023, Edan stated in an interview that MIRROR would be filming a new group variety show together.[15]

YouTube channel

[edit]

Edan has his own YouTube channel, on which he usually posts a vlog series titled Come To Work With Me. Each episode shows behind-the-scenes footage of various projects he works on, including filming for music videos, variety shows, television series, as well as work trips. Previously, he also posted vlogs of his day-to-day life, as well as piano covers of different songs.

Fashion

[edit]

Edan attended the 2023 Fall-Winter show for KENZO at Paris Fashion Week in January 2023.

On 1 April 2023, Edan launched his own lifestyle brand, NADE, which creates streetwear, lifestyle products, accessories, and seasonal treats.
