Poh Chung Wei, 28, from Kuala Lumpur and Cheah Yeng Yeng, 30, from Ipoh emerge champions of Jual Letop 爆单皇 King of Sales Burst!
The duo from Team Happy Shuang YY trumped 10 finalists to win the online Chinese reality competition.
The winning pair, both professional wedding emcees, took the chance to become ‘live streamers’ after losing their source of income from wedding events due to the pandemic.
“We were really surprised we won. We didn’t think that we could finally break the magic spell and become the champion.
“We strived to do our best in everything for this competition by utilising our connections and non-stop brainstorming to generate breakthrough ideas, innovating, even disguising and doing a lot of things with one aim that is to attract new customers and fans.
“This win is not just for us but also for our customers, vendors, sponsors, friends and family. We couldn’t have made it this far without their support and encouragement, thank you,” said the winning pair.
As winner of the competition, they share a cash prize of RM50,000, a trophy and a Kinohimitsu hamper worth RM559.
