August Man SG - Issue 209 (January 2025)

I denne utgaven

A new year calls for a fresh start and AUGUSTMAN shares their favourite ways to reset after a long day, week, and year. It’s also a fresh start for our cover personalities, the charismatic classical music duo TwoSet Violin, who shocked the world when they announced their ‘retirement’ after 11 years of propelling the classical music genre into the mainstream with their brand of content and comedy. In an exclusive interview, Eddy Chen and Brett Yang dive into their post-TwoSet Violin life.
