A Facebook group titled “My wife married Mirror and left my marriage in ruins” has gone viral this week. Its members take issue with the Hong Kong boy band – whose 12 members, they claim, have stolen the hearts of their wives (and, in some cases, also the hearts of their mothers and sisters).

Set up on July 3, the Facebook “concern” group attracted more than 200,000 members in its first three days.

“I don’t hate Mirror, but I just feel that fellow men need a group to share our thoughts and feelings,” says the group’s administrator and moderator, whose username is Tcr Ch.
