Lokman Yeung recently addressed the controversy regarding the now-deleted poster of his new single, saying that he will do better next time.

As reported on Mingpao, the singer was recently blasted for sharing the poster for his new song “FLY” that has him and the stage being turned upside down to look as if he was suspended on air while trying to hold on to a lit screen, which reminded many of the accident befallen MIRROR dancer Mo at their 2022 concert.

Asked if he had seen the photo beforehand, Lokman confirmed he had seen it, but neither he, the design team, nor his management noticed its resemblance to the previous tragic incident.

“The concept was built around the stage. If people watch the MV this Thursday, they’ll understand the theme,” he said.

Regarding the oversight, Lokman said that they were only following the concept.

“But we’ll be more sensitive and do better after this, so as not to make people uncomfortable,” he added.

Asked if he has visited Mo, the singer said that he has been following news about the dancer, but that he will give Mo space and pray that he will get better.
