In the #10YearChallenge meme currently sweeping social media, we get to see how our friends and favourite stars have – or in many cases haven’t – aged during the past decade.

In the challenge (also known as the #HowHardDidAgingHitYou and the #GlowUp challenge) participants post two images – usually side by side – taken at least 10 years apart.

Whether it’s a data-mining experiment by social media companies or just a harmless meme, news feeds worldwide are being swamped by the challenge and celebrities including Trevor Noah, Chrissy Teigen, Nicky Minaj and Caitlyn Jenner have posted pictures for comparison.

We haven’t seen many by Hong Kong celebrities so far, so we mined the South China Morning Post archives for old and new pictures of our favourite local singers and actors to see how they’re holding up.
