Within four years or so, Glenn Yong's reputation in Singapore burgeoned from a relative unknown to one of Singapore's most recognisable faces. He has taken the industry by storm, gracing press tours and events; his presence infiltrated social media algorithms and at times, headlined news articles. Well, he has even made it to the 100 Most Handsome Faces of 2022 list compiled by TC Candler. The news caused a bit of a stir - but you know what they say, all news is good news.
The pace at which Yong exploded onto the scene is exponential but is hardly a surprise for someone who holds the advice "You are the master of your own fate" close to his heart. Yong's goals are ambitious to say the least, but it has given him clarity and a razor-sharp focus on what he hopes to achieve.
"On the career front, I do have some goals set that I'd like to "manifest" - like to have a solo concert, perform for National Day, I hope to work on an international production (film/series) and have an overseas meet & greet!" quips Yong.
Fuelled by ambition and running on pure adrenaline, Yong has developed a reputation for being a workaholic. Interviews on other media or entertainment outlets always point to long working hours; a weekend sleep-in is a true luxury for someone who confesses to sleeping four to five hours a day.
"| have a vision for the year ahead, but a more personal one would be to schedule time for myself, family and close friends. To learn to enjoy the moment and the relationship with the people around me," Yong adds.
