Chill Guys and Girls, The Original Chill Guy Is Coming to Hong Kong
20250310 Chill Guy HK Photo by Philip Bankss/Instagram

The original “Chill Guy” is heading to Hong Kong for the Easter holidays. 

The world-famous character Chill Guy will be hosting his first-ever official pop-up store in Hong Kong from Apr. 11 to May 5, 2025, at the Festival Walk named “Chill Guy. Chill Walk Pop-up Store.” 

Who Is Chill Guy?

This internet sensation is a character made by American digital artist Philip Banks, who first posted the character on social media on Oct. 4, 2023. The artwork depicts an anthropomorphic dog wearing a gray sweater, blue jeans, and red sneakers, wearing a “chill” expression with a smirk on his face and his hands in his pocket, indicating his nonchalance. He is also noted for resembling Brian Griffin from Family Guy.

Introduced as a “chill guy that lowkey doesn’t give a f***,” Chill Guy became popular on TikTok and the internet in 2024 after memes were made with the catchphrase, “I’m just a chill guy,” with the song “Hinoki Wood” by Gia Margaret in the background. Chill Guy also became a figure for Gen Z to look up to, especially with the harsh realities of life. 

Chill Guy’s First-Ever Pop-up Store in Hong Kong

The “Chill Guy. “Chill Walk Pop-Up” is set to happen at the Festival Walk in Sha Tin, Kowloon Tong, from Apr. 11 to May 5, 2025. Fans, meme lovers, and Chill Guy enthusiasts can expect over 100 officially licensed products up for grabs, such as figures, T-shirts, baseball caps, disposable film cameras, lifestyle items, and more. 

And, of course, the Chill Guy pop-up wouldn’t be complete without a massive three-metre-tall Chill Guy installation in the atrium. There will also be meme-themed photo walls, and a Ditto.Snap selfie studio should fans want to snap some pictures with Chill Guy!

Make sure to save the date for a visit to Chill Guy’s Chill Walk Pop-Up in Hong Kong!

Silent guardian 2 Photo by Ora-Ora

This March, Hong Kong’s iconic Observation Wheel (HKOW) will play host to a bold, larger-than-life showcase of street culture. Following the street artist Huang Yulong's debut at Art Basel Hong Kong in 2024, the local art gallery Ora-Ora will be presenting his new project, "UPWARDS." This includes 20 towering, mysteriously cloaked sculptures, each over 3 meters high, to the city’s waterfront.

A pioneer in merging hip-hop aesthetics with Chinese contemporary art, Yulong has spent over two decades using his work to explore themes of identity, belonging, and urban life. These signature hoodie-clad, lifelike figures have become a symbol of youth culture in China, sparking conversations about community and self-expression.

Taking over one of the most visually striking outdoor spaces in Central, the exhibition promises unmissable, "Instagrammable" moments for visitors.

Adding a local twist, several of Yulong’s sculptures in UPWARD incorporate rugby motifs — a nod to the legendary Hong Kong Sevens, taking place from Mar. 28 to 30, 2025.

From thought-provoking panels and networking brunches to guest shifts and wellness sessions, these events are all about honoring women, uplifting each other, and having fun! 

Observed in March, Women's History Month is an important annual occasion for commemorating women's achievements, progress in equality, and empowering the communities around us. According to the Equal Opportunities Commission, as of 2022, there is about an HK$5,000 wage gap between men and women, with the gap widening further with increases in age. Evidently, there is much progress needed to be made and IWD offers a prime opportunity to advance the conversation and spread the word with fresh ears. Get involved this year by engaging with these events, donating to a local charity, or simply raising awareness amongst your peers. 

So rally your friends, show up, and make this IWD one to remember!
