I noticed Miu Kiu-wai is named Michael Miu in some of these articles. Is that a new phenomenon or the media re-using a previously dropped name? Looks like his DB entry will need another alias at the very least. This particular article claims BROTHERS is Miu's first time before the camera in years, but perhaps the writer simply missed his recent onscreen appearances?
