Mirror's public activities came to a halt in July 2022 after a serious incident at the group's concert that left two dancers with severe injuries. All the members, including Keung, had to take a leave of absence, and they only returned to public eye to promote the TV series "We Got Game" in October 2022.

The performance marked Keung's return to stage after recovering from surgery. His emotional and physical condition during the performance led to a slurry of criticism and attacks on social media.
In response, Keung released his 11th single "Dummy", a song about self-deprecation, in which he reminds himself to stay level headed and never become a mindless dummy. During interview at this period, Keung admitted that he had to dig deep to deal with the negativity resulting from the media attacks but appreciated all the criticism which gave him a chance to inspect his own flaws and improve. He debuted the song live at HKT West Kowloon Music Festival on 2 April 2023, which later Keung described as "one of the most important performances of his career".

Keung teamed up again with lyricist Siu Hak on his 14th single " Dark Moon", a song about the duality of humanity and how greed and other sins can drive one to give in to the unrestrained desires, and the only path to resist that temptation is to be reminded of one's purest intent. This also marked the first time Keung worked with producer T-Ma, who also wrote and arranged the music.
The promotional single " Bread and Better" marked the first English/Mandarin collaboration between Keung, Gareth Tong and Singaporean singer-songwriter Gentle Bones. The music video was released on 24 February 2024 on HSBC Singapore's YouTube channel.
