A scandal-hit stage engineering contractor is facing potential liquidation after being implicated as one of the three firms accountable for injuring three dancers in 2022 at Cantopop boy band Mirror’s concert.
The mainland-based creditor of Hip Hing Loong Stage Engineering Company on Friday filed a case with the city’s High Court for the firm to be liquidated, with a hearing slated for April 23.
Dancers Mo Li Kai-yin and Chang Tsz-fun were hit by a giant video screen weighing 500kg (1,102lbs) that fell onto the stage during the fourth of 12 concerts at the Hong Kong Coliseum in Hung Hom on July 28 as a result of a snapped cable.
Li was severely injured, paralysed from neck below and has been in rehabilitation.
