2nd October 2026 – (Hong Kong) A video circulating widely across social platforms shows Hong Kong artist Deep Ng approaching a person who continued filming him and his friends despite being asked to stop, before striking the device from the filmer’s hand. While initial reactions often fault the first to make physical contact, the online response skewed in Ng’s favour, with many users arguing the filmer ignored repeated requests and basic courtesy, and that the singer’s patience had limits.
Comments across short‑video apps and discussion forums largely backed Ng, saying that persistent, unconsented filming was disrespectful and provocative. Supporters suggested that anyone would be angered by a camera held on them after clear objections, some adding that public figures still deserve reasonable privacy in casual settings. A minority condemned the action as heavy‑handed and unbecoming, prompting Ng himself to respond in kind, noting that he had never claimed to be a gentleman.
