JJ Lin Becomes Samsung’s Youth Ambassador, Promotes Gaming Culture Among Singapore Youth

JJ Lin, Lin Junjie or 林俊杰, is Samsung’s youth ambassador and he has the job to sing, dance, promote and play in the Asian leg of World Cyber Games (WCG) in August. As an enthu gamer, JJ will display his DOTA (Defence of The Ancients Allstars) skills in the event. If all else fails, JJ can croon a few songs from Westside, his new album.

Actually the gaming culture among Singapore teens and kids is pretty healthy but pro-gaming is still not in the list of well-recognized professional jobs in Singapore. No mummy in Singapore will tell their kids to go pro in gaming. Instead, gaming is viewed as a total waste of time by kiasu (afraid-to-lose) parents in Singapore. Sigh, paper qualifications still call the shots.
