Glenn Yong's Promotional Tour Success

In a delightful twist of fate, Glenn Yong, a rising local star from Singapore, recently found himself in the limelight during a promotional tour for his latest film, *I'm Not Stupid 3,* hosted in Taipei, Taiwan. The 27-year-old actor was joined by fellow cast members, including former Mediacorp talents Terence Cao and Collin Chee, as well as director Jack Neo, which only amplified the excitement surrounding the film’s premiere.

The Comparison to Greg Hsu

The evening took an intriguing turn when Taiwanese media dubbed Glenn as “Singapore's Greg Hsu,” a title pointing to the popular Taiwanese actor renowned for his role in the hit film *Marry My Dead Body.* At 33, Greg has captured countless hearts across Asia, making the comparison both flattering and significant.

Glenn's Humble Stance

However, when confronted with the flattering comparison, Glenn's humility shone through. He gracefully stated that he felt unworthy of such a label and expressed admiration for Greg's talent, admitting that he thoroughly enjoyed watching him in the iconic drama *Someday or One Day.* Additionally, it came to light that Glenn’s mother is an avid fan of Greg, making the comparison even sweeter for the Yong family.

An Almost Missed Opportunity

As the emotional evening progressed, Glenn shared an almost-miss story regarding his involvement in *I'm Not Stupid 3.* Initially, he was unaware of the project's specifics when director Jack Neo extended the offer. Feeling uncertain about his participation, he nearly declined the opportunity. That was until he discovered it was the sequel to a film that had a profound impact on him. "I watched *I'm Not Stupid 2* 18 years ago and it was the first film that ever made me cry in a cinema. The movie inspired me deeply, and I knew I had to be part of *I'm Not Stupid 3,*" he passionately confessed.

Jack Neo's Surprising Revelation

In a surprising revelation from director Jack, it was disclosed that if Glenn had opted out, the role would have gone to none other than the international superstar Jackson Wang. This intriguing tidbit about having Jackson as a backup option adds an exciting layer to the discussion, igniting curiosity about what could have been.

Looking Ahead for Glenn Yong

With humility, talent, and a dedicated fan following—both in Singapore and Taiwan—he is sure to shine even brighter in the world of entertainment.
