Hong Kong Pop Stars’ Dating Lives Spark Media Frenzy

A recent exclusive report detailing the romantic entanglements of popular Canto-pop boy band ERROR has sent ripples through Hong Kong’s entertainment scene, focusing particularly on member Dee-Gore (Kwok Ka-tsun), who is reportedly dating a bandmate from the sister group COLLAR. The news, published by East Week Magazine, claims Dee-Gore, 33, has grown close to Candy (Wong Ka-ching), 20, a dynamic pairing that crosses promotional lines. The report suggests Dee-Gore has taken on the role of chauffeur, regularly picking up and dropping off the younger star.

The revelations surrounding Dee-Gore follow speculation last year that he ended a three-year relationship with model and influencer Ah Gi (Farn Pui-ka). However, Dee-Gore is not the only ERROR member whose love life has captured public attention. The quartet—comprising Dee-Gore, Poki (Ng Po-kei), Fatboy (Leung Yip), and Ah Dee (Ho Kai-wah)—is consistently hailed in local media for their “powerful charisma” with the opposite sex.

Poki’s Tumultuous Dating History

Among the four, Poki, 30, has arguably the most extensive and public dating history, earning him the moniker “goddess collector.” His romantic links have included model Shirley Sham (Shirley Chan), internet celebrity Onion Chan, and singer Hana Kuk.

In 2021, Poki faced significant public scrutiny following allegations surrounding his relationship with Shirley Sham. A previous partner, Carrie Lai, publicly suggested she was unfairly dumped, while some reports labeled Poki a serial philanderer. Though Poki issued a public apology, conceding he “handled things immaturely,” the relationship with Sham ended within a year. By September 2023, Poki was reportedly dating eSports KOL Chen Hsueh-tsung (Onion Chan), although that pairing appeared short-lived.

Most recently, Poki was linked to singer Hana Kuk, a relationship neither confirmed nor denied, only described as “getting to know each other.” Despite the ambiguity, Poki was photographed publicly displaying a keychain bearing Hana Kuk’s image, often interpreted as a sign of commitment. Yet, by October of last year, reports surfaced speculating Poki was instead pursuing athletic personality Vinky Wong. The two reportedly bonded over running, with Vinky frequently posting workout photos with the star.

Fatboy and Ah Dee’s Steady Paths

In contrast to Poki’s revolving door of partners, ERROR leader Fatboy, 33, appears to have a more stable romantic trajectory. His on-again, off-again relationship with his first girlfriend, Ah Fen, has spanned years. The couple initially split in 2021 after eight years together, a breakup Ah Fen attributed to drifting apart despite mutual respect and support. They reconciled within a year, and their relationship appears steady as Fatboy focuses heavily on his career.

Meanwhile, Ah Dee, 39, the most senior member of the group, has shifted his focus away from romance. After debuting, he publicly acknowledged his relationship with Man Chin-ching, whom he met during the filming of the program Good Night Show: Advertising Queen. The couple dated from 2015, with Ah Dee once affectionately calling her “the woman who silently protected him.” However, in recent interviews, Ah Dee has alluded to being single, stressing his intense focus on his career as the reason dating is currently impractical.

The heightened media focus on ERROR’s personal lives underscores the intense public and press fascination with the relationship status of Hong Kong’s highest-profile pop stars, often eclipsing discussions of their musical and acting endeavors.
