Move over, Hollywood—Singapore’s got its own pocket-sized superstar, and her name is Dewy Choo. You might know her as the Gen Z TikToker who’s either getting abducted by aliens or casually dating Vin Diesel (in her skits, at least). But beyond the viral laughs and quirky characters, Dewy’s life is packed with surprises you’ll want to know about. So, let’s do exactly that and dive into the wild, wonderful world of this multi-hyphenate sensation.
1. She’s an Award-Winning Actress (Yes, Really!)
Picture this: A TikTok comedian with zero acting experience walks into a film festival…and walks out with a Best Actress trophy. Sounds like a plot twist, right? But that’s exactly what happened when Dewy snagged the National Youth Film Award in 2021 for her role in Girls, a short film by director Tamara Tan.
Dewy, who studied Arts & Theatre Management at Republic Polytechnic, initially doubted her win. “I compared myself to the other nominees and thought, ‘Do I even deserve this?’” she admitted. Spoiler: She did. Her raw, relatable performance as the lead in Girls—her first-ever on-screen role—proved she’s more than just a funny face. Turns out, all those TikTok skits were her acting boot camp.
2. She’s a Secret Songbird (Who Hates Her Own Voice)
Between cracking jokes and slaying Y2K fashion trends, Dewy moonlights as a Spotify artist. Yep, she’s dropped original tracks like Lovers For Tonight—a moody bop about fleeting romance. But here’s the kicker: She’s still insecure about her singing.
During an interview, she reveals that she was in primary and secondary school for her singing in her signature deadpan humour. Even now, she cringes at her own music, joking that she terribly needs a vocal coach. But hey, if Taylor Swift can shake off haters, so can Dewy. Stream her songs for proof that imperfection is kind of perfect.
3. She’s a Marketing Maven (and a KOL Queen)
Forget “just” being an influencer—Dewy’s also the brains behind AIKO COLLECTIVE, a Gen Z-friendly marketing agency she co-founded. With services like social media strategy, event planning, and livestream selling, this girl’s practically writing the playbook on KOL marketing.
Thanks to her arts management background, Dewy knows how to turn even the quirkiest ideas into viral gold. Planning a product launch? She’ll spin it into a TikTok-worthy spectacle. Need a rave-themed pop-up? Consider it lit. If creativity were currency, Dewy would be Singapore’s Elon Musk (but way funnier).
4. She Almost Quit TikTok…Then Went Mega-Viral
Here’s the tea: Dewy’s TikTok fame almost ended before it began. Her early videos—like flirty POV skits and tipsy shenanigans—built a small following, but it was a controversial post in December 2020 that changed everything. In it, she cheekily roasted Singaporean men’s fashion choices (“Ditch the slippers, guys!”), sparking a firestorm of love and hate overnight.
“I thought about quitting,” Dewy admitted. “But then I realised—if I’m already getting hate, why not keep being unapologetically me?” The result? Her follower count skyrocketed, proving that authenticity (and a dash of chaos) is the ultimate hack for influencer marketing in Singapore.
5. She’s Throwing Raves for Gen Z (Because Why Not?)
When Dewy isn’t filming skits or running her agency, she’s curating Singapore’s hottest Gen Z parties as co-founder of Afterlife. Think Y2K-themed raves, prom nights with a techno twist, and spaces where crop tops and neon reign supreme.
Teaming up with fellow TikTok stars Rayyan Azlin and Kai Xiang Thng, Dewy’s turned Afterlife into a safe haven for Zillennials tired of stuffy clubs. “We want every event to feel fresh—like you’re stepping into a new universe,” she says. With her knack for viral concepts, it’s no wonder these parties sell out faster than her TikTok takes off.
Conclusion
From viral TikToks to award-winning acting gigs, Dewy Choo is proof that you don’t need a filter to shine. She’s messy, relatable, and unafraid to own her flaws—whether she’s belting off-key ballads or roasting fashion faux pas. And while she jokes about being Singapore’s “princess,” let’s be real: In a world of cookie-cutter influencers, Dewy’s more like the court jester…if the jester also ran a marketing empire and threw killer raves. So next time you see her pop up on your FYP, remember: Behind those skits is a 23-year-old redefining what it means to be a modern creator.
