Mok Chun Ming’s “Stay Away, Demons!” Shoot Takes a Terrifying Turn: Spins Uncontrollably in Suspected Possession, Production Halted

When it comes to ViuTV’s paranormal investigation shows, “Stay Away, Demons!” is probably the first that comes to mind. Host Mok Chun Ming (MCM) and his partners have traveled to various haunted hotspots, famously daring to spend the night in the “incident rooms,” leaving viewers on the edge of their seats. But during a recent shoot for the new season, something happened that caught the entire crew completely off guard—Mok was suspected to have been genuinely possessed by something supernatural, forcing an emergency halt to the production.

They were filming at a notoriously haunted location in Southeast Asia. The atmosphere was already eerily heavy, and Mok was doing his usual thing—exploring the space, talking to the air, trying to provoke a reaction. But before long, things took a sinister turn. According to reports, Mok suddenly stopped talking, his eyes went blank, and then he began spinning uncontrollably in place, faster and faster, unable to stop. Crew members rushed to restrain him, but it was as if he had superhuman strength; it took several people to finally hold him down. Sensing the situation was dangerously wrong, the director immediately called for a stop to filming, and the entire team evacuated the site.

This was different from any of his previous experiences. It wasn’t a “feeling” of something being there—it was actually happening to him. Fans of the show already knew about Mok’s bravery from his previous work. From his early days on “Siberia on the Go,” where he braved the icy landscapes on a train, to “Fly to Penang! Let’s Date,” where he took on extreme challenges in Malaysia, he’s always displayed remarkable courage. But no one expected things to go this far.

From “Siberia on the Go” to “Stay Away, Demons!”: The Evolution of a Heartthrob’s Courage

Mok Chun Ming first gained public attention with “Siberia on the Go.” Back then, he and a group of young adventurers took on the Trans-Siberian Railway, remaining calm and collected even in the harsh, unfamiliar environment. Later, in “Fly to Penang! Let’s Date,” he showed a different, sunnier side, a stark contrast to his current paranormal investigator persona. But it’s his work on “Stay Away, Demons!” that has truly given viewers the chills.

• “Siberia on the Go”: Tested his physical endurance and willpower, surviving in extreme conditions and cementing his “fearless” reputation.
• “Fly to Penang! Let’s Date”: Showcased his charming and energetic side, a complete departure from anything supernatural.
• “Stay Away, Demons!”: Pushed his bravery to the absolute limit, shifting from a host “playing” with the paranormal to a participant truly encountering it.

Many viewers note that what makes Mok so compelling as a paranormal show host isn’t just his boldness, but his skeptical attitude. His habit of casually chatting with empty air and calmly analyzing situations often leaves audiences wondering if he’s just putting on a show or genuinely sensing something. This recent incident seems to confirm that his “sensitivity” might be more real than anyone thought.

Is “Uncontrollable Spinning” a Pattern? Another Paranormal Event to Add to the List

This isn’t actually the first time Mok has shown signs of distress during a “Stay Away, Demons!” shoot. Sources say that during a previous episode at an abandoned school, he suddenly froze in place, becoming completely rigid as if under a spell, and needed his co-host to repeatedly shake him back to consciousness. At the time, many thought he was just deeply focused. But looking back after this “uncontrollable spinning” incident, it seems there might have been more to it than just intense concentration.

Since this event, Mok Chun Ming has not made any public appearances. However, according to friends, upon returning to Hong Kong, he visited a temple and sought help from a spiritual master. He is reportedly in stable condition. As for whether this will affect the future filming of “Stay Away, Demons!”, there’s been no official word yet. But one thing’s for sure: after this, Mok Chun Ming has proven his status as the “paranormal heartthrob” in a way no one could have anticipated, and it came at a significant cost.

After hearing this news, are you still brave enough to watch “Stay Away, Demons!”? Or does it, like for me, make you even more curious to hear Mok’s own account of this terrifying experience? Either way, here’s hoping he recovers fully and can share more of his supernatural stories with us—preferably while carrying a few more protective charms on set next time.
