As a wave of sadness engulfs Hong Kong, pop diva Karen Mok has officially announced on November 30 via social media the cancellation of the 'THE BIG BIG SHOW' Hong Kong 'Home Edition,' which was originally scheduled to be held at the Kai Tak Arena on the 20th.
In a statement, the organizers pointed out that the Tai Po fire has caused significant casualties and heavy grief across Hong Kong. Karen Mok was returning to perform in Hong Kong after four years, hoping to share joyful music and happy moments with her hometown audience. 'However, witnessing the pain the citizens of Hong Kong are enduring due to this tragedy, the meaning of a "home show" carries even more weight at this moment. We understand that everyone has been affected emotionally, so it is impossible to hold a show themed around joy as usual.'
Karen Mok deeply regrets having to cancel the concert and hopes the public will focus more attention on the affected citizens and rescue personnel on the front lines. 'Karen Mok hopes to be reunited with everyone in the future in a better and warmer state.' She also expressed her highest respect to all firefighters and rescue teams involved in the disaster relief, and offered her deepest condolences to those affected by the Tai Po fire. 'May the deceased rest in peace and the injured recover soon.'
