Summary
Hacken Lee’s elder son Ryan Lee (李立仁) has become a fresh talking point after posting birthday photos from the United States, where he is studying, shortly after turning 19. The images drew heavy online discussion over how much his looks have changed, with some commenters saying he now resembles actor Aarif Rahman and others describing him as having the look of a Korean idol. A separate ice-cream photo with a friend also reignited speculation over his rumoured relationship with singer Chantel Yiu (姚焯菲), who has also been linked to him while studying in the US. The renewed attention comes against the backdrop of Hacken Lee’s earlier public remark that his son should focus on academics and not get distracted by dating

Why It Matters
For Hong Kong entertainment audiences, the story shows how celebrity children can become public figures in their own right through social media posts alone. It also underlines how quickly online attention can shift from appearance and family background to romance rumours, especially when a parent has already commented publicly on priorities such as study over dating
