Young Go-Getters
This January, we take a look at the ‘go-getter’ — connecting ambition with a love for performance. Inspired by the new ASICS EX89, vibrant colours are at the core of our digital cover. We explore the youthful energy and multifaceted mindset that make up the new generation of creatives, through the lens of content creators Daniel Cheang and Alvy Joanna as they share their experience going from social media to showbiz.

New Year, New Dreams
The ‘New’ Creatives
“I enjoy acting because I feel like it gives you the avenue to be someone that you’re not. And that’s challenging. I personally like a challenge, especially when you can put on the mask. I like that a lot.”
— Daniel Cheang
Staying Grounded as a Go-Getter
“One of the most important things for me is when my audience tells me I’m not afraid of being my ‘real’ self. For them, when I put something up online, it feels like a neighbour talking to them, or a friend. I like to have that bond, it makes it more intimate and real.”
