A netizen shared a photo of a man selling egg tarts at Swee Choon Jalan Besar, bearing an uncanny resemblance to Taiwanese mandopop singer Jay Chou on 14 July.
The moment the anonymous customer shared a photograph of the lookalike on the popular Singapore Incidents Facebook group, netizens were captivated by the resemblance.
Standing behind the counter, adorned with rows of tantalizing egg tarts, the Jay Chou doppelganger sported a simple white t-shirt embellished with Swee Choon’s iconic logo.
Despite the lack of flashiness in his appearance, there was no denying the striking similarities in his features – the small mouth, small eyes, and expressions reminiscent of the singer.
Netizens React
As the photograph circulated on social media, it didn’t take long for netizens to weigh in with their thoughts. While most saw the uncanny resemblance, some went a step further, suggesting that the Swee Choon server might even be more good-looking than Jay Chou himself.
Amidst the humorous chatter, some couldn’t resist making light-hearted jabs at Jay Chou’s singing ability. They playfully referenced his past concert in Singapore, where certain fans expressed dissatisfaction with his vocals and disappointment with the concert experience.
The Legend of Jay Chou
For the uninitiated, Jay Chou is an immensely popular Taiwanese singer, songwriter, and actor. With numerous chart-topping hits, he has earned the title of Mandopop royalty and enjoys an ardent global fan base.
Known for his unique blend of R&B, pop, and rock influences, Jay Chou has left an indelible mark on the music industry.
Other Jay Chou lookalikes
A video emerged online showing “Jay Chou” and “JJ Lin” performing a duet for a Douyin video.
Of course it isn’t really them, but rather; their significantly less-talented dopplegangers.
The JJ Lin lookalike, who goes by “俊杰烧饼” on Douyin, has a friend who looks exactly like Jay Chou and the two then started making videos together.
