Zheng Xi Yong, 24, was always interested in performing arts.

He would enthusiastically take part in talent competitions during his school days, and there was no denying even back then that he had a certain charisma and presence on stage. But that didn’t stop him from excelling at school and going on to pursue his Bachelors of Law at King’s College London.
