Error (stylised in all caps) is a Hong Kong Cantopop boy band formed through ViuTV's reality talent show Good Night Show - King Maker in 2018. The group consists of 4 members: Leung Yip, Dee Ho, Denis Kwok, and Poki Ng. The group debuted on 2 December 2018 with the single "404".[1][2][3]
Key Information
Career
[edit]2018–2020: Formation and early years
[edit]In July 2018, ViuTV's reality talent competition Good Night Show - King Maker started scouting for potential artistes.[4] After the final, 12 of the 99 contestants were selected by ViuTV to form a boy band Mirror, but the third runner-up Leung Yip (Fatboy) was not selected.[5] Later, the television station published online a series of short videos titled Fatboy's Big Adventure (肥仔大冒險), depicting how Leung Yip recruited his fellow contestants to form another group. The final and seventh episode of the series, published on 2 December 2018, showed Leung Yip, Denis Kwok (193), Dee Ho and Poki Ng declaring the formation of Error.[6][1] The group demonstrated their comedian position with their debut single "404", a parody of Mirror's "In a Second" (一秒間).[7]
In 2019, the group released two singles, namely "Kill My Manager" (殺死我的經理人) and "We Are Not Broken" (我們不碎).[8][9] They also hosted their first television show Error Crazy Trip with their manager Ahfa Wong.[10] In October of the same year, Error hosted their first stand-up comedy show in Macpherson Stadium.[11] They released a single called "Handsome Guys" (我們很帥) the following year,[12] which they gained their first peak chart position in RTHK.[13]
2021–2022: Rising popularity
[edit]Error released two singles, "I Promise" and "We Don't Chok" (我們不Chok) in 2021.[14][15] They also hosted a reality pageant show, Miss Mask Pageant in March, and each member led a team in the contest. This drew comments from ViuTV's competitor, TVB's deputy general manager Eric Tsang, who dismissed ViuTV for its low viewership and the show for being a niche. On 11 April, before the airing of the final, Denis Kwok sarcastically rebutted Tsang's comments; it became a boost in his popularity, as well as the group's.[16] In May, Error's reality show Error Selfish Project was the rage in Hong Kong, the server of ViuTV's website even faced technical problems during the upload of last episode due to the traffic to the website.[17] They were awarded "Best Groups" at 2021 Metro Radio Music Awards,[18] and "Annual Groups Bronze Award" at Chill Club Chart Award Presentation 21/22.[19]
In 2022, Error released two singles, "Love on Duty" (愛情值日生) and "Never Come Back",[20][21] and they were awarded "Best Groups" at 2022 Metro Radio Music Awards for two consecutive years.[22]

History
2018–2020: Formation and early activities
Error was formed through the participation of its members in ViuTV's reality talent show Good Night Show - King Maker, which aired in 2018 and aimed to discover new Hong Kong stars through auditions, training, and competitive performances among 99 male contestants.[6] The show's selection process involved vocal, dance, and performance challenges, culminating in the formation of boy bands from standout participants; while the top 12 contestants debuted as the group Mirror, Error emerged as a separate four-member unit comprising Leung Yip (Fatboy), Denis Kwok (193), Dee Ho (Dee), and Poki Ng (Poki), who had advanced to later stages of the competition.[7] Denis Kwok, for instance, finished in the top 40.[8] The group was officially established in late 2018 under ViuTV's management, positioning them as a comedic Cantopop boy band distinct from Mirror's more polished image.[2] Error debuted on December 2, 2018, with the single "404," a humorous parody referencing the HTTP 404 error code and poking fun at digital glitches, while mirroring the style of Mirror's debut track "In a Second."[2] The song received initial attention for its lighthearted theme and the group's self-deprecating humor, though it did not achieve major chart success amid the dominance of Mirror's releases.[9] In 2019, they followed up with "Kill My Manager," a satirical track about industry pressures, and "We Are Not Broken," an uplifting anthem emphasizing resilience, both of which garnered modest fan appreciation for their relatable lyrics and energetic performances during early live appearances.[2] By 2020, the group released "Handsome Guys" (我們很帥), a playful self-boosting single that highlighted their comedic persona and began to cultivate a niche following through social media shares and ViuTV promotions.[10] Initial fan response was positive but limited, with supporters drawn to Error's underdog appeal and variety show chemistry rather than immediate commercial breakthroughs. During this period, Error expanded into media hosting, debuting as hosts of the reality travel series Error Crazy Trip in early 2019, where they journeyed to Japan for games, challenges, and cultural explorations alongside veteran host "Flower Sis" (So Fung Ling), earning praise for their spontaneous humor and group dynamics.[11] The show aired on ViuTV and helped introduce the group to broader audiences through minor TV guest spots and promotional events. However, the early years presented challenges in building a dedicated fanbase, as they competed in Mirror's shadow—the larger group quickly rose to fame—delaying Error's widespread recognition until subsequent years.[6]2021–2023: Rising popularity and expansion
In 2021, Error marked a significant step in their commercial ascent with the release of two singles, "I Promise" and "We Don’t Chok," both of which benefited from aggressive promotional tie-ins with ViuTV programming, including music video premieres and live performances on variety segments to capitalize on the network's youth demographic. "I Promise," released in March, debuted strongly and peaked at number 7 on Hong Kong music charts, while "We Don’t Chok" followed later that year, securing a position in the top 20 and appealing to fans through its upbeat, relatable lyrics on perseverance. These tracks were supported by social media campaigns featuring behind-the-scenes content and fan challenges, which amplified their reach amid the group's growing visibility on ViuTV. The group's popularity surged that year through high-profile hosting roles in reality television, notably the Miss Mask Pageant, a beauty competition adapted for pandemic-era virtual formats that highlighted Error's charismatic hosting dynamic and drew widespread youth engagement in Hong Kong's entertainment scene, and the Error Selfish Project, a 15-episode variety series where the members showcased personal challenges and comedic skits, becoming a cultural talking point for its unfiltered portrayal of idol life. These shows not only boosted viewership for ViuTV but also fostered a deeper fan connection, contributing to Error's first major award wins: Best Group at the 2021 Metro Radio Hits Music Awards, held on December 27 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, recognizing their breakout momentum. Fanbase expansion was evident in social media milestones, with Error members collectively gaining substantial Instagram followers throughout 2021—led by Denis Kwok (193) with the highest count among them—reflecting a surge in endorsement value and joint appearances alongside ViuTV artists like Mirror at events and promotions. Building on this foundation, Error released "Love on Duty" and "Never Come Back" in 2022, continuing their streak of chart success with the former peaking at number 3, its music video exploring themes of youthful romance through vibrant, urban visuals, and the latter reaching number 7, promoted via energetic live performances at ViuTV concerts that emphasized group synergy. These singles solidified their position in Cantopop, earning them a repeat win for Best Group at the 2022 Metro Radio Hits Music Awards. By 2023, the group expanded into acting, with members Leung Yip, Denis Kwok, and Poki Ng taking supporting roles in the ViuTV series A Perfect Gentleman, a comedy-drama about personal reinvention that premiered in April and featured their ensemble contributions alongside established actors like Philip Keung, marking Error's diversification beyond music into scripted television.2024–present: Tours and ongoing projects
In early 2025, Error participated in MakerVille's Matchical School Tour, a collaborative music initiative involving fellow Hong Kong acts MIRROR, COLLAR, and ROVER, aimed at performing in nine secondary schools across Hong Kong, Kowloon, and the New Territories to inspire students through live music.[12] The tour commenced in April 2025, with Error's performances grouped with ROVER for the second stop on April 28 at Hong Kong Sze Yap Merchants and Workers General Association Wong Tai Shan Memorial Secondary School, and later with FING for the seventh stop on June 30 at Sun Wai Chamber of Commerce Chen Po Sha Memorial Secondary School, and the eighth stop in early July.[13][14] These intimate school venues fostered high-energy interactions, with fans and students expressing overwhelming enthusiasm through social media posts highlighting the group's dynamic stage presence and motivational impact in a post-pandemic era of renewed live entertainment. Throughout September 2025, Error contributed to promotional events, including the Chill Busking series at Hong Kong International Airport's arrival hall from September 6-9, where members like Leung Yip (Fatboy) and Denis Kwok (193) performed acoustic sets of songs such as "I Just Wanna Dance" and "Don't Cry, Boys," creating a relaxed atmosphere that garnered viral social media clips and praise for their approachable vibe.[15] On September 3, member Dee Ho (Dee) represented the group at the Fashion Hong Kong Runway Show during CENTRESTAGE at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, participating in promotional segments that showcased local fashion alongside musical interludes, enhancing Error's visibility in Hong Kong's creative industries.[16] As of November 2025, Error continues their variety show project ERROR 10M ROCK n ROAD (also known as Dead Footboy 10M Tokyo Dome Self-Made Dream), a ViuTV series launched in late 2024 where the group travels to gather inspiration for original music, aiming toward a major concert.[4] The program has evolved group dynamics by encouraging collaborative songwriting in live travel scenarios, with episodes airing through 2025 teasing unreleased tracks and a potential TV comeback special; no full album release has been confirmed, but the initiative underscores their shift toward self-produced content in response to the vibrant recovery of Hong Kong's entertainment landscape.[17]Members
Leung Yip (Fatboy)
Leung Yip, known professionally by his alias Fatboy, was born on January 14, 1990, in Hong Kong.[18] He gained initial prominence in the entertainment industry by finishing fourth in the ViuTV reality competition King Maker IV (also known as Good Night Show - 全民造星 IV) in 2018, which served as his entry point into the spotlight.[19] Prior to his debut, Yip pursued a career as a professional dancer and instructor, collaborating with prominent Hong Kong artists such as Eason Chan and Terence Siufay on choreography projects. He also taught dance classes, including sessions for MIRROR member Edan Lui at the University of Hong Kong. These experiences honed his skills in performance and movement, laying the foundation for his later group activities.[19] As the leader of the Hong Kong boy group Error, formed in 2018, Yip plays a pivotal role in guiding the ensemble's direction and performances, often serving as the captain who coordinates group dynamics. His vocal style contributes to Error's blend of Cantopop and K-pop influences, characterized by energetic delivery and rhythmic precision, particularly in dance-heavy tracks. A notable example is his prominent vocal parts in the group's debut single "404" (2018), where he helps drive the song's upbeat, error-themed narrative through dynamic phrasing. Yip's leadership extends to fostering a relatable, humorous group persona, emphasizing teamwork in live shows and recordings.[19][20] Beyond group endeavors, Yip has pursued solo acting roles in ViuTV productions, including a supporting part in the sports drama We Are the Littles (2020), the heist series We 12 (2023) as Kaito Fatboy, and the family-themed mini-series The Parents League 2 (2024). He also released his solo single "Lady Killa" in 2021, showcasing his individual charisma. In 2023, Yip served as dance director for singer Leon Lai's concert tour, highlighting his expertise in choreography. Up to 2025, no major individual endorsements have been prominently reported, though his acting portfolio continues to expand within Hong Kong television.[18][19] Yip's public persona is marked by humor and approachability, often sharing insights into personal growth, such as his 2023 weight loss journey that inspired the solo track "Jap Jap," reflecting emotional struggles through lyrics about perseverance and self-improvement. His hobbies include singing and dancing, which remain central to his creative outlets. In 2022, he was listed in TC Candler's "100 Most Handsome Faces" rankings, underscoring his growing recognition beyond music. No specific philanthropy initiatives are documented in his profile as of 2025.[21][22][19]Denis Kwok (193)
Denis Kwok, professionally known by his alias 193—derived from his height of 192.3 cm—was born on January 14, 1990, in Hong Kong. He first entered the public eye through ViuTV's reality talent competition Good Night Show - King Maker in 2018, where he placed in the top 40 before being eliminated, yet this led to his recruitment into the boy band Error as one of its founding members.[23][24][25] Prior to his entertainment career, Kwok worked in fashion procurement, while nurturing a personal interest in music through singing and ukulele performance, skills that contributed to his selection for Error. Within the group, he specializes in dance routines, often leading choreography with his distinctive height and athletic build, and frequently contributes to their comedic sketches, aligning with Error's reputation as a humorous counterpart to more serious Cantopop acts like Mirror. His standout performances include energetic dance segments during the group's 2025 concert at Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, where he incorporated improvisational humor that engaged audiences and highlighted his versatility.[8][26] On a personal level, Kwok shares his birthday with fellow Error member Leung Yip (Fatboy), also born on January 14, 1990, fostering a close brotherly dynamic within the group that often manifests in joint birthday celebrations and collaborative creative decisions. Individually, Kwok has built a strong solo presence, releasing singles like "I Just Wanna Dance" in July 2025, which emphasizes his dance-centric style and amassed hundreds of thousands of views on official channels. His social media influence is notable, with over 600,000 Instagram followers as of late 2025, where he shares lifestyle content, behind-the-scenes group moments, and personal endorsements, enhancing his appeal as Error's visual and relatable member.[27][28][29]Dee Ho (Dee)
Dee Ho, whose full name is Ho Kai-wa (何啟華), was born on August 10, 1990, in Hong Kong and is known professionally by the alias Dee. He gained initial recognition in the entertainment industry through his participation in ViuTV's reality talent competition Good Night Show - King Maker in 2018, where he competed as contestant number 74 and advanced to a top 30 finish.[30] This exposure paved the way for his debut as a founding member of the boy band Error later that year. Ho's early interest in entertainment stemmed from a passion for performance rather than academics; he has described himself as not being "study material" and instead pursued acting and dance from a young age. He graduated in 2007 from Hong Kong Red Swastika Society Tai Po Tsz Chi Secondary School, a Band 3C institution, forgoing higher academic pursuits to focus on the arts. To support his ambitions, Ho took on various odd jobs, including cleaning, waiting tables, sales, and catering, while training in street dance under mentor "Maba" and joining a theater group in Wan Chai to hone his acting skills. By his early 20s, he had become a proficient Locking dancer, ranking among Hong Kong's top 10 in the style and performing professionally at Ocean Park. However, his dance career peaked and halted in 2013 after a severe ligament and meniscus injury sustained during a competition, forcing him to pivot toward acting and content creation. In 2014, Ho co-founded the online comedy duo "Mocking Jer" with Yau Hok-shu, achieving viral fame by impersonating Andy Lau in the music video for "日日去鳩嗚," which earned him the nickname "Hua Dee." He later made his acting debut by introducing Andy Lau's film Shock Wave at the 37th Hong Kong Film Awards.[31][30] Within Error, Ho serves as the vice-captain and brings expertise in hosting and variety show formats, leveraging his comedic timing and improvisation skills honed through Mocking Jer. He has been instrumental in the group's variety content, notably as the main host of the 2021 ViuTV reality series Error Selfish Project, a 15-episode program that showcased the members' daily lives and creative projects, contributing to its popularity and even causing temporary server issues on the network's website due to high viewership. His hosting role emphasizes Error's humorous, relatable dynamic, distinguishing his contributions from the group's dance-focused elements.[32] Ho's solo endeavors have included minor acting roles and endorsements, building on his pre-Error visibility. In 2023, he appeared in supporting capacities in ViuTV productions and events, while in 2024–2025, he participated in promotional activities, such as fan club-led birthday campaigns and group-adjacent variety appearances. These efforts highlight his ongoing pivot toward multifaceted entertainment roles beyond music.[32] On a personal level, Ho has shared reflections on overcoming self-doubt and physical setbacks, crediting his resilience to a mindset of embracing past "lows" as foundational to his growth; he has publicly discussed navigating criticism of his appearance early in his career, such as being mocked as "three-pointed and eight-angled," which motivated him to refine his dancing, singing, and acting. His interests remain rooted in performance arts, with a unique early involvement in educational initiatives, including serving as a "sex education pioneer" during middle school, where he wrote reflective essays on love and relationships for the Family Planning Association of Hong Kong, an experience he later revisited publicly to emphasize clarity in personal values.[30]Poki Ng (Poki)
Poki Ng, born on January 25, 1991, in Hong Kong, is a singer, actor, and television personality best known by his stage name Poki and as a member of the Cantopop boy band Error.[33] He entered the entertainment industry through ViuTV's reality competition Good Night Show - King Maker in 2018, where he advanced to the top 20 contestants before the show's conclusion.[34] Prior to Error's formation, Ng built a foundation in performance through early acting roles, including a minor part in the 2017 mystery film Somewhere Beyond the Mist.[35] His participation in King Maker highlighted his charisma and stage presence, leading directly to his recruitment into the group alongside fellow contestants.[34] Within Error, Poki serves as a key visual element, contributing to the group's comedic and stylish image, while handling rap verses and backup vocals in tracks like the debut single "404," where he delivers lines emphasizing the band's parody style.[36] His involvement extends to fashion-forward activities, including appearances that align with the group's modern aesthetic. Poki has joined Error on their 2024–2025 tours, enhancing live performances with his energetic delivery. Ng has developed a solo career in acting and hosting, taking on the lead role of a detective in the 2023 TVB drama A Perfect Gentleman (20 episodes) and appearing in the mystery film Yum Investigation that same year.[34] In 2022, he hosted the variety show MM730: Hello Auntie (82 episodes), showcasing his hosting skills, and made a guest appearance on the 2024 travel program Okinawa Controlled Tour.[34] Up to 2025, no major solo music releases have been announced, though he continues to feature in group discography. Public details on Ng's personal life remain limited, with his social media presence focusing on professional updates, travel, and fashion interests rather than advocacy work.[37]Discography
Singles
Error's original singles reflect their signature mix of comedic flair, energetic pop, and themes of self-expression, often drawing from their experiences as idols. These releases have contributed to their growing presence in Hong Kong's Cantopop scene, with several achieving top positions on local charts like the RTHK and KKBOX Cantonese rankings. While early singles leaned into parody and humor, later ones explored empowerment and relationships, helping solidify their fanbase.| Title | Release Date | Chart Performance | Notes |

Soundtrack contributions
Error's soundtrack contributions primarily consist of original tracks created for ViuTV productions, enhancing the narrative of dramas and variety shows associated with the group. Their debut major OST involvement came in 2019 with "We Are Not Broken" (我們不碎), serving as the ending theme for the 100-episode drama Entertainment Storm (娛樂風雲). Composed by Tsui Ho-man and lyrics by Chow Yiu-fai, the song reflects themes of perseverance in the entertainment industry, mirroring the series' plot about aspiring actors facing industry challenges. Released as a single on October 21, 2019, it garnered positive reception for its uplifting melody and relatable lyrics, contributing to the drama's popularity during its broadcast from July to November 2019.[47] In 2020, member Poki Ng (Ng Cheuk-hang) contributed the insert song "Ikigai" (生き甲斐) featuring JNYBeatz to the group's variety show ERROR Survival TV (ERROR自救TV). This track, released as a single on June 30, 2020, blends Cantopop with hip-hop elements to underscore moments of personal reflection and resilience during the show's survival-themed challenges. Performed in a mix of Cantonese and Japanese, it highlighted Ng's solo artistry while tying into Error's collaborative media presence. The song received attention within ViuTV's ecosystem, boosting the show's viewership among fans.[48] Following their rising popularity, Error's media-tied releases tapered off, with no major OST contributions reported for ViuTV projects like A Perfect Gentleman (極度俏郎君) in 2023, where the group starred but did not provide original music. Instead, the drama featured themes by external artists such as Tony Huen of Pandora. This selective involvement underscores Error's focus on standalone singles and live performances post-2022, though occasional insert tracks in their hosted shows continue to appear.[49]Filmography
Television series
Error's foray into scripted television began with their debut in the ViuTV mini-series Being an Actor, a 9-episode comedy-drama that aired from December 24, 2018, to January 5, 2019, with each episode running 30 minutes. Members Denis Kwok (credited as 193) and Dee Ho (Kai-Wa Ho) appeared in the series, taking on roles as aspiring entertainers facing the ups and downs of breaking into the industry. The show marked the group's initial acting venture shortly after their musical debut.[50][51][52] The group's most prominent television project to date is the 20-episode comedy-drama A Perfect Gentleman, which aired on ViuTV from April 17 to May 12, 2023, weekdays at 21:30. Set in Hong Kong's triad underworld, the series follows Scar (Philip Keung), a once-fearsome Kam gang fighter from 1992 who survives a betrayal during a rival ambush and endures imprisonment, emerging determined to reform and escape his criminal past. However, old loyalties and new conflicts draw him back into danger, exploring themes of redemption, brotherhood, and the pull of the "gentleman's code" in a gritty yet humorous narrative. All four Error members featured in supporting roles within the gang ensemble: Denis Kwok as Gu Yeh, a steadfast and quick-witted associate navigating moral dilemmas amid escalating tensions; Dee Ho as "Thinking," a reflective member whose arc involves questioning the cycle of violence; Fatboy Yip Leung (Leung Yip) as a loyal enforcer supporting Scar's transformation; and Poki Ng (Poki) contributing to the group's dynamic in key confrontations. Their characters highlight camaraderie and personal growth against the backdrop of triad intrigue.[53][49][54][55][56] In 2024, Dee Ho and Denis Kwok starred in main roles in the 10-episode ViuTV series The Divination Gossip Club, which aired from August 14 to September 12.

Error, the Hong Kong Cantopop boy band, has participated in several variety shows on ViuTV, often serving as hosts to showcase their dynamic group chemistry through interactive and competitive formats. Their involvement emphasizes hosting duties, games, and reality-style challenges that highlight personal growth and entertainment value. In 2019, Error hosted their debut variety program, Error Crazy Trip, a 20-episode travel-based reality show produced by Hong Kong Television Entertainment (HKTVE). The series follows the group and their manager Ah Fa on a trip to Japan, where they engage in daring games, cultural challenges, and humorous punishments to test their teamwork and adaptability.[11] The band expanded their hosting roles in 2021 with Miss Mask Pageant, an 11-episode reality competition where Error members, including Denis Kwok as a main host, led teams of masked female contestants through talent showcases, interviews, and physical challenges to determine a winner based on inner beauty and skills.[65][66] A second season aired in 2022 with 16 episodes, continuing the format under Error's guidance to promote diverse representations of attractiveness.[67] Also in 2021, Error launched Error Selfish Project, a 15-episode reality series focused on self-improvement and "selfish" personal projects, where each member pursues individual goals like skill-building or creative endeavors while facing group accountability and comedic obstacles. Hosted entirely by the band, the show aired starting May 3 and emphasized motivational themes through unscripted interactions.[68][69] As of 2025, Error has teased an upcoming overseas group variety program for the following year, tied to their promotional activities, but no further details on format or episodes have been confirmed.[70]Films
Error's debut in feature films came with a cameo appearance in the 2020 horror-comedy Hell Bank Presents: Running Ghost, directed by Mark Lee and produced by mm2 Entertainment. The film follows a deceased man's participation in a supernatural variety show in the afterlife, blending fantasy elements with black humor. The group appeared briefly as themselves, contributing to the movie's ensemble of Hong Kong entertainers.
