Edan Lui

Edan Lui Cheuk-on (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.

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.

Edan features on the first single, Floating Classroom (漂流教室), 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, 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.

The first of the three consists of slow ballad "Mr. E's License to Love" (E先生 愛人執照), a continuation of "Mr. E's Series of Unfortunate Events" (E先生連環不幸事件), making the two songs part of an ongoing series.

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), 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.

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 with the single "In a Second".

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 連環不幸事件) 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.

Later that year, he also released singles "Little Comedian" (小諧星) and "My Apple Pie" as a solo artist, as well as "Talents" (一表人才) / "A Promising Young Man" (年輕有為) 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 made his acting debut on the sitcom Showman's Show (娛樂風雲) (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 (男排女將)(2020), and earned critical acclaim starring as Tin Yat-hung in the romantic comedy drama Ossan's Love (大叔的愛) (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 (季前賽) 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 (社內相親), 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.

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) 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 (過時過節) which also stars Teresa Mo.

Hong Kong Family marks Edan's first major role in the dramatic genre.
