When talking about careers, many want an ideal career, but life's routines and daily routines may take each person in a different direction, until they reach their destination. The same is true for these three Malaysians who will represent the country for the TikTok LIVE Fest event on the international stage next January.
TikTok LIVE Fest is an event that was inspired to be a place for TikTok users to hang out live, and present their talents to get the attention of the audience and interact directly, providing a different experience from other live broadcast channels. In fact, live broadcasts on TikTok are also one way to generate income, both for themselves and for companies. Therefore, this TikTok LIVE Fest event also provides exposure to other users on the very versatile way of using TikTok. In fact, these three Malaysian representatives also have very different backgrounds, and are not from experienced hosts. On the contrary, their determination and intelligence are the main pillars in bringing Malaysia to the world's attention.
Chasing Dreams Not Just Profits – From Sales Executive to Singer via TikTok LIVE – YuWei (@yweii_9)
The first representative is YuWei (@yweii_9) who was originally a salesperson who was awkward in front of the camera. However, armed with the determination to find a job that could highlight her passion for singing, YuWei has started broadcasting live and won the Malaysian TikTok LIVE Fest selection with the support of her fans called ‘Ferns’ or ‘Fermily’.
You must shine brightly in whatever you love. And remember that even when the sun sets, the light will continue to illuminate the night. This world will never lose its beauty. Don’t be afraid of the darkness, because it will always be followed by a new dawn.” – Yu Wei
A Voice That Was Once Lost Now Returns via TikTok LIVE – Peh Qin Rou (@joppc1231)
The next Malaysian representative is Peh Qin Rou (@joppc1231) who is an artist involved in performing, then lost her voice for a period of time. At that time, she faced challenges in her career due to the loss of her voice, but realized that TikTok LIVE was one way to continue to be active in 'virtual performances'. Through TikTok LIVE, she rose again and managed to get second place in the TikTok LIVE Fest event, representing Malaysia.
As long as her enthusiasm continues to burn, success will definitely come true. – Qin Rou
From Bank Officer to Live Broadcasting Star Now More Profitable – Adelyn Heng (@adelynheng9319)
Finally, Adelyn Heng (@adelynheng9319) was originally a bank officer, but three years ago she started broadcasting live on TikTok LIVE. She has also built a community called Peach Family in support of her until she reached the 1 million mark during her live broadcast, proving that no matter what your background is, if followed by community support, it will definitely produce something.
My journey is not about trophies, but about the hearts of the fans, namely my Peach Family who have shared love and strength with me. From humble beginnings to extraordinary achievements, this is a story of passion, perseverance, and an unstoppable spirit—together, we will soar higher. – Adelyn
After this, the three Malaysian representatives will compete on the international stage starting this December 17, with the final event to be held in London on January 16, 2025 where they will compete with other participants from over 90 countries. Local users can also continue to support the Malaysian representatives and get the latest updates on their journey to the international stage of the global TikTok LIVE Fest.
To celebrate them and other TikTok LIVE artists, there will be a TikTok Verse awards night on December 20 with various activities and interactive performances, and TikTok users can also watch live via the @tiktoklive_MY account from 6pm to 11pm.
