Do you know him? In real life?

No, baby… not every Taiwanese person knows every other Taiwanese person… (LOL)

I just thought you were going to surprise me again and say, “Oh he’s actually a cousin of one of my friends” —

If he is… we don’t know that yet… like a 3rd or 4th cousin?! (Shrugs shoulders)… I have no idea… I’m not going to say “THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE” — because we don’t know for sure. Not yet… I can say I don’t have any immediate connections — friends or acquaintances.

Are you sure he’s the guy with “the sound” that you still remember?

No. That’s why I said 99% — I’m not 100% sure.

What if there’s TWO Taiwanese-American Gen Z guys who are extremely good singers on Tik Tok and I’m getting them confused?

What if there’s TWO Taiwanese-American Gen Z guys who started out singing more typical heterosexually implied love songs and then all of a sudden — seemingly, as I had been following that account on and off — rebranded, came out as a gay, and then — voila! This current new packaging?

You really think so?

No! I’m getting confused! What if there IS two of them and I’m getting them confused?!?!?!?

(LOLOLOLOL)

I really wish I can find the music that I’m thinking of…

What was it?

A Taiwanese-American Gen Z guy, singing more… crooner songs… love songs… and he went lowwwwww… his voice went LOWWWWWWWWW……

Huh… you never made Tik Toks yourself about this guy? He wasn’t even in your public likes?

(Shaking head) Yeah… I don’t know why I just kept that to myself… I was just watching him from afar like an Aunty… just watching, seeing if he’ll make it… the Taiwanese-American boy… I’m still watching him from afar…. it looks like they’re trying to make him a Taiwanese-American Troye Sivan?!

Do you think the industry’s doing this on purpose or he’s really gay?

Yes he’s really gay… I think… I mean, I believe… from his Tik Toks… these things just happen, they just evolve… hopefully he’s even feeling more comfortable in himself… like he can just be himself in his music —

The crooner stuff — if that was him — it was GORGEOUS. He sang it SO WELL

But if that’s “not him” — and he wants to lean into his current stuff — sure, why not?! Good on him!

I think you might be getting him confused with someone else…

Okay then?!?! One day I’ll find the SOMEONE ELSE — and I’ll find THOSE SONGS AGAIN — that were SITTING IN MY APPLE LIBRARY — and I’ll let you know… who that was…
