If you are wondering who are the people in Singapore Social and why are people obsessed about this Netflix show, read on.
“Do you find that other women could be intimidated by you?”
“…They’d better be.”
We don’t blame you if you thought we were quoting a line from Keeping Up With The Kardashians or The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
This is actually a line from Netflix reality show Singapore Social that covers the lives of young Singaporeans. The official trailer was shown on November 8 creating excitement among Singaporeans online. The plot may be confusing as it is about the cast members’ parental or societal expectations, relationship drama, quest for happiness and apparently lots of glitz and glamour.
Netizens left comments on social media saying that they don’t think the show depicts an accurate representation of life in Singapore. The show have been compared with the 2018 film Crazy Rich Asians which did a good representation of an upscale Singaporean backdrop.
The series debuted on November 22 and here are some details about the cast.
Mae Tanhttps://www.instagram.com/p/B4q-93DFonZ/?utm_source=ig_embedA Netflix show that’s based on youth in Singapore is only complete if there is a fashion influencer. Mae Tan is a Singapore Tatler friend and fashion plate. She flew to New York City for the July cover of Singapore Tatler and she has over 80K followers on Instagram. That amount of followers are always exposed to Mae’s activities that she makes public on social media and with the series, they will be exposed to more of Mae.Sukki Singaporahttps://www.instagram.com/p/B4W1ArajbLL/?utm_source=ig_embedSukki is probably Singapore’s answer to Dita von Teese, having been the first person in Singapore to ever perform a full and legal burlesque act back in 2015.
