A Student Keung Candy‘s Four-Year Journey with Keung To

Written by keung._.sweet - on Augustus 28, 2025.

Greetings everyone. I am a 16-year-old student and devoted admirer of Keung To, having held this deep appreciation for over four years. I would like to commemorate this journey by sharing some cherished moments connected to him.

My introduction to him began at the age of 13 and has continued into my 16th year. Initially, I was only faintly aware of his name. That changed when a close friend inquired if I had watched ”King Maker“, a talent show. When I replied that I had not, she enthusiastically introduced me to Keung To and urged me to search for him online.

Driven by curiosity, I entered “Keung To” into Google and was met with an abundance of information. I then visited his Instagram profile and found myself utterly captivated—as if drawn into a charismatic universe. I knew, at that moment, that I had become a genuine supporter.

This period coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic, a time when public gatherings were heavily restricted. Despite having to wear masks, we—his ardent followers—remained undeterred, showing our support by visiting dedicated spots in Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay. As a student, I found it challenging to keep up with his activities during weekdays, so I devoted my weekends to quietly following his endeavors.

Every Saturday, many of us would gather at the footbridge of Langham Place in Mong Kok to distribute fan-made merchandise. Those Saturdays became the highlight of my week—not only because of the beautiful tokens I received, but also because they offered a meaningful respite from the pressures of academic life.

Due to my studies, I had missed several opportunities to see him in person, including his concerts. In March 2023, upon learning that I would be pursuing my education abroad, I made a firm decision: I must see him before leaving Hong Kong.

The opportunity arrived in mid-April, when I learned that fellow supporters were gathering at MOKO for his Coca-Cola promotional event. I rushed to the location immediately. Although I stood at a distance, I was thrilled to finally see him in person.

Later, he announced a solo concert in August—just before my departure. I was determined to attend. However, as everyone knows, securing a concert ticket is no easy feat. With no prior experience in ticket purchasing, I was unsuccessful.

Fortunately, a colleague of my mother, aware of my impending move, generously offered me a ticket. It became the most beautiful and unforgettable gift before my departure—allowing me to experience his moving vocals and the electric atmosphere of a live audience. 💙

On the day of the concert, filled with nervous excitement, I arrived at the venue five hours early. Seeing the meticulously arranged photo stations, I was deeply touched by the collective devotion of his fans. Many were handing out self-designed postcards and posters. Upon learning that it was my first concert, several seasoned supporters guided me around, offered practical and beautiful fan goods, and invited me to a group photo.

Inside the venue, the anticipation intensified. When he finally appeared on stage, illuminated by a convergence of lights, and began performing ”Tao“, the entire audience sang along. Until then, I had only listened to his music on Spotify; now, I was immersed in the grandeur of a live performance. 🍬

On April 30, 2024—his birthday—he released ”you ‘re out of this world“, a song dedicated to us, his supporters. I was moved to tears😭. After years of supporting him, this heartfelt gesture felt like an immensely generous reciprocation. It was my first time experiencing an idol composing a song specifically for his fans.

That day, I resolved to vote for the song at the Ultimate Song Chart Awards on January 1. However, the ticket price was substantially higher than that of a concert ticket. As a student, I found it financially challenging and did not want to burden my parents. So I conceived a solution: I began crafting and selling phone straps at £2.50 each. Within a month, combined with my saved allowance, I had enough to purchase the ticket. I am profoundly grateful to all who supported my small initiative. 🥹

On January 1, seeing the fulfillment of a goal set half a year prior, I felt a quiet sense of accomplishment. 🫣 I had succeeded! I cast my vote as soon as I entered the venue. The results were to be announced at the end of the ceremony.

Before the “Favorite Song” category was presented, the “Favorite Male Artist” award was announced. I had fervently hoped he would win. When the host remarked, “has been waiting for two years,” I knew it was Keung To. We screamed with excitement, alongside fellow supporters seated nearby😂, barely remembering to record the moment.

After the exhilaration subsided, it was time for “Favorite Song”. When he won by a landslide in every district, I knew ”you’re out of this world “ had triumphed. 😭 As the song played, I wept once more. A hope I had held for eight months had finally materialized. ✨

In June of this year, I co-founded the page @student_keungtong with several other student fans, aiming to unite all young supporters in promoting and cheering for Keung To. Everyone contributes with heartfelt passion and continues to support him with unwavering dedication. 💙

If you were to ask me, “Was it all worth it?”

I would answer, with absolute certainty: “Every bit.”

The light he radiates on stage not only illuminates us but also adds vibrant color to our life’s path. 🌟
