Later, the television station published online a series of short videos titled Fatboy's Big Adventure, depicting how Leung Yip recruited his fellow contestants to form another group. The final and seventh episode of the series, published on 2 December 2018, showed Leung Yip, Denis Kwok, Dee Ho and Poki Ng declaring the formation of Error. The group demonstrated their comedian position with their debut single "404", a parody of Mirror's "In a Second".In 2019, the group released two singles, namely "Kill My Manager" and "We Are Not Broken".
