And yes, the Heavenly King was already really good-looking back then.

Aaron Kwok Worked As An Aircon Technician, Earned S$310 A Month Before Joining TVB As A Dancer At 18

The recent episode of TVB variety show TVB 55th Anniversary Footprint (新光汇聚成翡翠) detailed 56-year-old Aaron Kwok's meteoric rise to Heavenly King.

While it's common knowledge that Aaron started out as a backup dancer with TVB, few people are aware of his career before that.

A younger, equally fine-looking Aaron

Aaron was just 18 when he applied to become a TVB dancer in 1984. According to his application form, he was working as an aircon technician and was earning HK$1700 (S$310) a month.

It was also stated that the person who recommended Aaron to apply for the gig was a TVB “canteen boy”.

Attached to his application form was a passport-sized photo of a young Aaron, who already looked every bit a star.

After the episode aired, many viewers went online to gush about Aaron's good looks, with some pledging their loyalty towards their idol, and others calling him their “forever prince charming”.

Recent flooding in Yishun has added to a growing number of flood-related incidents seen across Singapore over the past two years, including flash floods in Bukit Timah and burst pipe-related flooding in Ang Mo Kio. Videos circulating online showed flooded roads, overflowing drains and vehicles navigating rising water levels in Yishun after heavy rain over the weekend, with K. Shanmugam also sharing footage of the situation on social media. Similar flood videos have continued surfacing online during periods of intense rainfall across Singapore, sparking discussion among residents about changing weather patterns and urban flooding. According to Public Utilities Board, Singapore has significantly reduced flood-prone areas over the decades through drainage upgrades and ongoing flood prevention efforts, while authorities continue responding to flood incidents across the island during heavy storms. #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #singapore #sgtiktok #flood
