#STYLEVoices is a series featuring the most innovative and influential youth of our time, who are creating a buzz on big and small screens alike
How Hong Kong fitness and beauty influencer Emi Wong fought bulimia, courted Dior Beauty and clocked 3 million YouTube subscribers – video
With more than 570,000 followers on Instagram too, no wonder Alo Yoga and Charlotte Tilbury are just two more companies wanting to work with the young influencer
Eight years ago, I met Emi Wong at a social event. At that time, she was still a girl who used to drop by Lan Kwai Fong for a few drinks most weekends. She was bold, young and cheerful.
Since then, I have been watching her YouTube channel of workout videos and witnessing how she has changed. When the team was brainstorming about a new series of interviews #STYLEVoices, Wong immediately popped into my head. Boasting three million+ subscribers and 570K+ followers on Instagram, I knew she was the right person. I also wanted to find out more about her transformation – I was sure she had a lot to share after all these years.
The moment that Wong arrived at the South China Morning Post studio, I was already able to tell a significant difference. I’d no longer describe Emi Wong as a girl, but a young woman walking in with radiance and positivity.
After a quick catch up, the camera started rolling. Having Wong over was definitely joyful, informative and encouraging. We all know that social media doesn’t always reflect reality: yes she might look fabulous in photos and videos as a fitness and beauty influencer, but there are still real-life problems to face no matter who you are and she was happy to share this with us.
