Good news has finally arrived for dancer Mo, real name Li Kai-yin, following the heartbreaking loss of his father, Pastor Derek Li Shing-lam.
On 15 June, it was revealed that the Hong Kong court granted HKD 6.29 million in compensation to the dancer, who was severely injured in an accident that occurred during a 2022 concert by Hong Kong band MIRROR.
In a written judgment, District Judge Phillis Loh ordered Studiodanz Company to pay the maximum compensation permitted under Hong Kong’s Employees’ Compensation Ordinance, and described the incident as “a catastrophe to a young energetic person.”
The judge wrote that the evidence presented to the court substantiated Mo’s permanently disabled condition, stating that he is “incapable of ever leading or appreciating an independent adult life.”
It is noted that the 31-year-old currently requires three carers to provide round-the-clock care.
Mo sustained critical injuries and permanent total incapacity after a suspended LED screen crashed onto the stage and hit him during a performance at the July 2022 MIRROR concert. He was hospitalised with life-altering injuries and underwent extensive rehabilitation, with his late father updating the public on his situation from time to time.
