Family background
Anson Kong Ip-sang was born on 16 October 1992 in Hong Kong, the second child in a family of three brothers. His parents own and operate a cleaning services company, a family-run business that provided the household's primary income during his upbringing.[11] Kong has spoken about the close-knit nature of his family, noting that his tattoos include symbols representing his parents' and brothers' birthdays and zodiac signs, reflecting deep familial bonds.[12] Growing up as the middle brother in this family of small business owners during Hong Kong's post-handover economic expansion in the 1990s and early 2000s, Kong experienced a modest upbringing amid the city's high cost of living and rapid urbanization, where many families like his balanced traditional values with aspirations for upward mobility.[11]Schooling and early interests
Anson Kong attended Li Muk Shue Catholic Primary School and later S.K.H. Li Ping Secondary School, an Anglican institution in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong.[13] During his formative years, Kong was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which he managed through music, discovering it as a way to express emotions and maintain focus.[13] He nurtured a passion for football, frequently spending time on the field and aspiring to become a professional player, an interest that later contributed to his fit and athletic public persona.[14] His family provided support for these extracurricular activities, encouraging his personal development beyond academics.[13] Kong also discovered an early affinity for performance and dance, honing self-taught skills through practice and engaging in school-related events that sparked his creative side.Career
Rise through King Maker and Mirror debut
Anson Kong entered the Hong Kong entertainment industry through his audition for the ViuTV reality talent competition Good Night Show - King Maker in 2018, where he participated as contestant number 23 and ultimately finished in fifth place among the contestants.[6] The show, which aired from July to October 2018, aimed to discover new male idols by showcasing participants' singing, dancing, and performance skills through various challenges and public voting.[15] Kong's strong performances, particularly in dance routines that highlighted his prior experience from school activities, helped him secure a spot in the top rankings.[16] Following the conclusion of King Maker, Kong was selected as one of the 12 finalists to form the Cantopop boy band Mirror in November 2018, alongside members including Anson Lo, Ian Chan, and Keung To.[17] The group, managed by MakerVille—a company established by the show's producer Ahfa Wong—began intensive early training focused on synchronized choreography, vocal harmony, and stage presence to prepare for their professional debut.[4] Mirror's formation was directly tied to the show's success in identifying talent, positioning the group as ViuTV's flagship act to revive interest in local boy bands.[18] Mirror made their official debut on 3 November 2018 with the single "In a Second" (一秒間), a dance-pop track that emphasized themes of fleeting moments and emotional intensity, released under Music Nation Records.[19] The song's launch at a press conference marked the group's entry into the public eye, receiving initial attention for its energetic production and the fresh appeal of its members, who were largely unknown prior to the show.[20] This debut laid the groundwork for Mirror's rapid ascent in Hong Kong's pop culture landscape, as the group quickly captured media coverage and fan interest through their polished performances and relatable image.[15]Group activities with Mirror
Following their debut in late 2018, Anson Kong contributed to Mirror's growing discography as the group's vice-captain, lead vocalist, and deputy lead dancer, often featuring prominently in choreography and performance segments. Key releases included the 2019 single "Reflection," which showcased the band's synchronized dance routines, and the 2020 track "Ignited," a high-energy dance-pop song that highlighted Kong's popping and breaking skills during live renditions. In 2021, Mirror released their debut studio album One and All in January, compiling six group singles alongside solo tracks from members; the album sold out rapidly and featured Kong in dynamic dance breaks for promotional performances. Subsequent singles like "Warrior" that year emphasized themes of resilience, with Kong's athletic dance style adding visual intensity to music videos and stage shows.[21][22] Mirror's live performances during this period underscored Kong's role in elevating the group's stage presence through elaborate dance sequences. The band held their One and All Live 2021 concert series at KITEC Star Hall in Kowloon, initially planned for three nights but extended to six consecutive shows from May 6 to 11 due to overwhelming demand, where Kong led several high-impact dance interludes amid the retro-themed production. In 2022, they launched the We Are Live Concert 2022 at Hong Kong Coliseum, scheduling 12 arena shows from July 25 to August 6; Kong participated actively in the early performances, contributing to the band's signature blend of singing and synchronized choreography before an onstage incident halted the series. These events marked Mirror's transition to large-scale arena tours across Hong Kong, with Kong's dance expertise central to the group's energetic appeal.[22][23][24] By 2023, Mirror achieved significant group milestones, including their global debut with the English-language single "Rumours" on March 17, an EDM track produced in collaboration with Alan Walker, where Kong helped adapt the choreography to a more mature, international style. The band topped Hong Kong's music charts multiple times, with "Warrior" holding the number-one spot on the Ultimate 903 Chart for two weeks—the first group song to do so in 15 years—and dominated media appearances on ViuTV programs, brand endorsements for luxury labels like Gucci and Burberry, and cultural events such as headlining Hong Kong's New Year's celebration at West Kowloon Cultural District in late 2021. Mirror's rise revitalized Cantopop, fostering a sense of local pride among Hong Kong youth through their androgynous style, Cantonese lyrics, and intense fan engagement, positioning the group as a cultural phenomenon amid the city's challenges.[21][22][25]Solo music and acting pursuits

Made his acting debut with a guest role in the ViuTV series Retire to Queen (2019), followed by a main role as Guan Zhi Hao in the martial arts drama Warriors Within (2020), portraying a young fighter navigating loyalty and rivalry in underground competitions.[27][28] Building on this foundation, Kong secured lead roles in feature films, including Wong Chung in the 2022 romantic comedy Love Suddenly?, where his character grapples with a stagnant partnership while maintaining a public facade of romance.[29] In 2023, he starred as Lai Heung Wing in the supernatural horror Back Home, depicting a man haunted by childhood ghosts upon returning to Hong Kong from Canada to care for his mother.[9] These performances highlighted his versatility in shifting from comedic timing to intense psychological drama.[30] Concurrently, he sustained his music output with solo singles like "Moonlight" (月色) in 2023 and "REBOUND" in 2022, integrating introspective lyrics with pop sensibilities to maintain momentum amid his acting commitments. In 2024, Kong received the Rising Star of the Year award at the Asia Contents Awards & Global OTT Awards for his contributions to streaming content.[31] Earlier in 2025, he performed a special stage of "Love Is On The Way" at the Global OTT Awards in Busan on August 24.
