#SHOWBIZ: Dancer Lee Kai Yin shares first photo of face since 2022 'Mirror accident'
HONG KONG: Injured dancer Lee Kai Yin, also known as Ah Mo, has shared a close-up photo of himself for the first time in three years. The 30-year-old was critically injured in July 2022 when a huge LED screen fell on him during a concert by the popular Hong Kong boy band Mirror at the Hong Kong Coliseum. Lee sustained a severe spinal injury and remained in critical condition for over a month. Reports at the time indicated he faced the possibility of paralysis from the neck down. Hong Kong media have since reported that he has left the territory to continue his treatment overseas. On July 23, Lee posted several photos on Instagram, including one of himself in a wheelchair. Although filters were used on his face, the tattoos on his chest and one of his arms matched those in his older photographs. A scar was visible near his collarbone in the latest photo, likely caused by a tracheostomy tube in his neck. "It's me!" he wrote. "I was encouraged by what the daughter of an optical shop owner said yesterday, so I'm going to share some of the little things that have made me feel good lately and see if I can pick up energy from you all." His girlfriend, So Ching, a former member of the Hong Kong girl group Collar, reposted his update on Instagram Stories, adding: "If I were half as strong as him." In December 2024, Lee posted his first photo from the hospital on Instagram, showing only his hand, with his father, Pastor Derek Li, beside him. "Probably the only human being who loves me so much and actually cares about my every nanometre bit of improvement every single day," Lee had written then.
