Recently, a male singer who has imitated Chau Kiet Luan for 14 years named Hoa An Khai suddenly became famous thanks to his surprise-creating performances at his wedding. Netizens nicknamed him humorously "Chau Kiet Luan accepts shows on a daily basis".
Hoa An Khai became famous by chance. A few years ago, he appeared at a wedding with a look like "Asian pop king" Jay Chou to perform. The video recording the performance was posted on a short video platform and quickly became a fever.
From then on, the nickname "Chau Kiet Luan accepts shows by day" was born, with a humorous meaning: it is difficult to invite Chau Kiet Luan to be the owner, so hiring an artist to imitate and calculate fees for each show will be more economical while still creating the desired atmosphere.
Before this teasing nickname, Hoa An Khai seemed quite comfortable: "I'm not angry, people are just joking, I understand". According to him, this way of calling even helps him become closer to netizens and easily remembered by everyone.
His job also does not stop at the nickname "receiving shows on days". Hoa An Khai said that he currently accepts a maximum of 1-2 wedding shows per week, and his performance schedule is full until May next year.
Each session, he usually sings 2-3 songs, mainly famous love songs by Jay Chou such as "Confiding Love with Balloons" and "Simple Love" to send wishes to couples.
Hoa An Khai's main job is to create surprises at the wedding. Relatives or organizers often secretly arrange for him to appear without the bride and groom knowing. When the music goes on, he puts on his signature baseball cap and steps onto the stage, making the atmosphere explode immediately.
Many couples will cry," Hoa An Khai shared. When the bride or groom is completely unprepared, suddenly hearing the familiar melodies of their idols and seeing someone who looks like Jay Chou standing in front of them singing for them, emotions rush in, very difficult to describe. The appearance of this mysterious guest is gradually becoming a surprise performance chosen by many weddings.
Interestingly, Hoa An Khai looks more and more like Jay Chou when standing further away. Netizens humorously commented: "Looking from afar, it looks very similar, but getting close, you immediately recognize'Jay Chou accepts shows on a daily basis'.
This saying spread widely, and Hoa An Khai also laughed when mentioning it: "It's true that looking from afar, there is a lot of atmosphere, looking closer, it's immediately revealed." He did not avoid it but said that this authenticity and closeness makes it easier for the audience to accept him.
After 14 years of attachment to the profession, Hoa An Khai has almost become a "shadow" of Jay Chou. However, he does not think that he is taking advantage of his idol's fame: "I just like his songs. That love can be turned into a job that moves couples, I feel very good about it".
According to media reports, from a singer singing at ordinary weddings, Hoa An Khai has become an artist specializing in imitation with her own followers.
His 14-year journey is not only a way for a fan to express long-term love for their idol, but also reflects the increasing demand of the wedding market for personalized and emotional experiences.
