[Coverage] Influence Asia 2017
Kuala Lumpur, April 2017 – One of the largest
social media awards in Asia, Influence
Asia 2017 has just happened last week. The event was an exciting gathering
of prominent figures in social media, namely the Influencers.
Thanks to
Dan Khoo for extending an extra ticket to me and also thanks to my buddy Tian Chad (from tianchad.com) for giving a chance to my
co-editor to tag along in this happening event.
Social Media Influencers Grand Assemble!
The event
has involved the participation of influencers from a few countries including Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippine,
Thailand, Vietnam and Korea. The
awards for each countries respectively include Top Lifestyle Influencer, Top Fashion Influencer, Top Beauty
Influencer, Top Health & Fitness Influencer, Top Food Influencer, Top
Parenting Influencer, Top Youtube Personality, Top Youtube Channel, Top
Breakout Influener, Influencer of the Year and a Malaysia-exclusive Influencers’ Choice Awards. The nominees are
popular icons in social media which I am sure all of you are totally familiar
with. Even the cute Korean babies Yebin and
Dobin were here!
The show
was also graced by International-class performers and also some high profile social media Influencers as the guest
presenters such as Carli Bybel, Shannon
Harris, ItsJudyTime, Sririta Jensen, Lily Mac Mac and VICE.
Jessica Jung, The Main Limelight Performer of
the Night!
Without a
doubt, Jessica was one of the main
attention of the night. With her sweet voice and energetic dance moves, all of
the fans were mesmerized by her when she performed her solo tracks Fly and Wonderland.
Nonetheless,
all the other performers including TheLionCityBoy,
Tulus, Noo Phuoc Thinh, DEFAM, Project E.A.R have also heated up the show
for the audiences too!
Biggest Winner Of The Night, Jinnyboy!
The biggest
winner of the night was definitely Jinnyboy
who won four awards including Influencers’
Choice Awards, Top YouTube Personality, Top YouTube Channel and Influencer of the Year. During his
speech for Influencers’ Choice Awards, he
mentioned, “We all come from background where people used to make fun of us and
said that “you guys are idiots.”. We are still idiots. We got an award, so we
are confirmed Idiots. But the thing is, we all started Youtube, did not know what
we wanted to do. We are making stupid videos and getting kicked out of schools
and malls. Security guards not wanting us to shoot wherever they are. But
because of people like yourself, watching Youtube everyday and sharing the
videos. We are able to make this a career. This award is not really for us, but
for everyone who watches Youtube. Thank you!” Another two winners sharing the Influencers’ Choice Awards are Dan Khoo and Dennis Yin.
Other
winners of the night are as listed below.

Although Influence Asia 2017 was overrun due to
the delay in the beginning and the long windy list of awards, the show is worth
coming for, to celebrate the efforts and contributions by the social media
influencers! (Still curious about what is hidden inside the balloons on top of
the hall which was planned to be “rained down” during the show. But it didn’t
happen.)
