ERROR (presented in all caps) is a Hong Kong Cantopop boy band that originated from the 2018 reality talent competition Good Night Show - King Maker produced by ViuTV. The ensemble is composed of four members: Leung Yip, Dee Ho, Denis Kwok, and Poki Ng. Their official debut occurred on 2 December 2018 with the release of their single "404".
2018–2020: Formation and Early Development
In July 2018, the reality talent show Good Night Show - King Maker aired on ViuTV, aiming to discover new performers.[1] Following the competition's conclusion, ViuTV formed the boy group Mirror by selecting 12 contestants; however, Leung Yip (Fatboy), who placed third runner-up, was excluded from this lineup.[2] In response, ViuTV launched a series of short clips titled Fatboy's Big Adventure (), which documented Leung Yip's efforts to gather other contestants and establish a new group. The final installment, aired on 2 December 2018, officially introduced Error, comprising Leung Yip, Denis Kwok (193), Dee Ho, and Poki Ng.[3] Their inaugural single "404" served as a parody of Mirror's "In a Second" (), emphasizing their comedic approach.[4]
During 2019, Error introduced the singles "Kill My Manager" () and "We Are Not Broken" ().[5][6] They also took on hosting duties for their debut television program alongside their manager.[7] In October of that year, they presented their first stand-up comedy performance at Macpherson Stadium.[8] The following year, their track "Handsome Guys" () marked their first appearance at the top of the charts on RTHK.[9]
2021–2022: Growing Recognition
In 2021, Error unveiled two singles titled "I Promise" and "We Don't Chok" (). That March, they took charge of a reality pageant show , with each member heading a team. This program attracted criticism from TVB's deputy general manager Eric Tsang, who downplayed ViuTV’s audience size and categorized the show as appealing to a niche market. On 11 April, prior to the finale broadcast, Denis Kwok’s witty response significantly elevated both his and the group's public profile. By May, their reality series gained widespread acclaim in Hong Kong, generating such heavy traffic that it overwhelmed ViuTV’s website servers. Error earned the "Best Groups" accolade at the 2021 Metro Radio Music Awards along with the "Annual Groups Bronze Award" at .
Throughout 2022, Error released two additional singles, "Love on Duty" () and "Never Come Back," and successfully retained the "Best Groups" title at for the second year running.
