Star Search 2024's Jadon Lim Explains $450 Erhu Price Tag & Where Instrument Is From

“At least I am remembered for something right?” said the 23-year-old NTU student.

Star Search 2024's Jadon Lim Explains $450 Erhu Price Tag & Where Instrument Is From

Jadon Lim might not have won a BYD ride at last night’s Star Search 2024 finals, but he did achieve one thing – virality.

The 23-year-old NTU engineering student showed off his erhu-playing skills during the talent segment, but it wasn’t his performance that got everyone gawking.

A close-up of the instrument revealed a conspicuous $450 price tag.

Of course, Singaporeans went wild in the comments with many laughing at the boohoo and the clip garnering over 200K views since the incident.

Jadon is known to be one of the most outspoken of the Top 12 (who can forget his tired outburst during the 8days.sg photoshoot?), and he responded to the incident in a @mediacorp.re.dian IG Reel.

“The price tag was there because it wasn’t my erhu,” he said.

“I borrowed it from the NTU Chinese Orchestra,” added Jadon, before revealing that his own erhu was broken.

In his defense, Jadon said: “It didn’t occur to me to checkl the price tag, because why would you?”

We can only point fingers at the cameraman then.

However, it seems the NTU engineering undergraduate didn’t mind his newfound online fame one bit, and said: “At least I am known for something, right?”

Of course, Jadon was tasked to react to a few hilarious comments.

To one that read: "Good performance. Who cares about the price tag?", Jadon beamed before he dryly said, “Apparently, everyone else lah because it wasn’t great”

“I did better during practice, by the way” he admitted.

Another netizen asked, “Who actually zoomed to that price tag to make us have a good laugh?”

Jadon's response? “If I couldn’t play it well, at least I gave you all a good laugh!”

Then there was one netizen who wrote “At least we now know Mediacorp doesn’t use cheap knock-offs.”

Sorry to burst your bubble but the credit isn’t Mediacorp’s to take.

All things considered, there is no such thing as bad news, right?

Who doesn't like a cultured youth? Unfortunately, it wasn't his erhu-playing skills that made everyone take notice of Jadon Lim.

Wait a minute, did someone forget to peel off the price tag?

"At least I gave you guys a good laugh, right?" he said after responding to comments on the erhu's price tag.

Can you move someone else’s car if it’s blocking the road? 🚗💪 A viral video from Malaysia recently showed a group of men taking matters into their own hands after a badly parked car appeared to prevent a bus from passing. Their solution? Physically lifting the car and shifting it closer to the kerb. 😭 It might have cleared the road, but what if the same thing happened in Singapore? If someone parks illegally or leaves their vehicle obstructing traffic, does that give members of the public the right to move it themselves? Not quite. Even if a vehicle appears to be illegally parked, that doesn’t automatically mean you should start pushing, lifting or arranging your own tow. If you damage someone else’s vehicle in the process, you could potentially find yourself responsible for the damage. And no, the absence of a yellow line doesn’t necessarily mean someone can park however they like — a vehicle can still cause an obstruction or undue inconvenience to other road users. So what should you do instead? For illegally parked vehicles and parking-related obstructions on public roads in Singapore, the safer option is to report the vehicle to LTA through the appropriate enforcement channels or the OneService app, rather than going full Hulk and moving it yourself. 💪🚗 Here’s what you need to know about illegal parking, cars blocking traffic and whether you can move someone else’s vehicle in Singapore — because sometimes it’s better to leave the deadlifts for the gym. 😭 #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #SGTikTok #SingaporeCars #RoadSafety
