The event drew an impressive lineup of stars, including Yang's personal idol, Dayo Wong, legendary actress Brigitte Lin, and popular singers like Hacken Lee, Leo Koo, and JW, all there to support the comedian’s thrilling performance.

An Electrifying Performance!

In a ceremony that felt like a grand Hollywood gala, Yang made an electrifying entrance to The Weeknd's hit 'Blinding Lights', captivating the audience in true Beyoncé style.
