Zhang Zetong, an artist, only had five times to win his first Star Award at Mediacorp in 2024 after winning the Star Search competition in 2019.
The 32-year-old made it known on Saturday ( Apr 26 ) that he was about to leave the industry before winning all three awards, including Best Supporting Actor and Most Hated Villain for his role in TV show All That Glitters, which he regarded as the “last” of his acting career.
” I was aware that my progress was tremendous; it was nothing brief of rocket-speed growth. On a radio season with actor-singer Glenn Yong, Zhang said,” I expected myself to be progressing a bit slower than what I had right now.
Zhang acknowledged that the pressure to show himself as the Star Search hero came from within rather than from his business or management since beginning his acting career in 2019.
He said,” I have all these thoughts about how poorly I’m doing well or performing to the standards,” calling them “distracting thoughts.” Actually, it took me a very long time to stop thinking about these feelings.
Zhang just learned to overcome these fears shortly after taking acting classes and winning his role in All That Sparkles.  ,
That’s when I was ready to get out of Zetong and try to stay in the role for a while.” It’s when,” he said. ” When I was filming, I was only thinking about this show and how I’m going to perform.”
