YES 933 DJ Kunhua Teases How He'll "Repay The Judges" If He Wins Again At Star Awards 2026

Nominated again for Star Awards 2026, YES 933 DJ Kunhua reveals his cheeky plan to thank judges if he wins again on April 19.

YES 933 DJ Kunhua Teases How He'll "Repay The Judges" If He Wins Again At Star Awards 2026

After last year’s double victory, will Zhong Kunhua reign again at Star Awards 2026?

The YES 933 DJ won Best Audio Personality and Best Radio Programme in 2025, and has been nominated for the same two categories again for this year's ceremony, which will be held at The Theatre at Mediacorp on April 19.

Despite his triumphant sweep last year, 40-year-old Shuang, Kunz, Jia Trio Show host insists lightning may not strike twice.

In fact, he candidly told Chinese media vibes by 8world that his chances of winning again are “probably quite slim!"

For the individual award, Kunhua will be up against Capital 958 DJs Pan Jia Biao and Lin Lingzhi, as well as LOVE 972 DJ Dennis Chew and YES 933's Zhu Zeliang.

“I think all the seniors stand a very good chance, especially Jia Biao," he said.

"My parents are his loyal listeners, they listen to Jia Biao’s radio show more than they listen to their own son’s programme,” scoffed Kunhua.

The jock also averred that the Capital 958 morning show is highly informative, which really tests a host’s ability to connect the dots, simplify complex topics, explain things clearly and vividly, yet remain engaging at the same time.

Meanwhile, the Shuang, Kunz, Jia Trio Show is competing against LOVE 972's The Breakfast Quartet and The FENtastic Show, as well as YES 933's The Night Is Young Yeah and The DAKA Show for Best Radio Programme.

Even so, the radio jock isn’t throwing in the towel just yet.

He also thought of a really unique way to celebrate if he is lucky enough to retain his titles this time.

“I should repay the judges properly, right? Maybe go to their homes and be a helper for a few days!" he jested.

"As for my supportive friends and listeners, maybe I’ll throw a party and invite everyone to a ‘touch-the-trophy gathering’ where we eat, drink, and celebrate together!”

Will he bring two trophies home again this year?

Catch the Backstage LIVE event of Star Awards 2026 from 3.30pm - 10.30pm on mewatch or Mediacorp Entertainment YouTube Channel on April 19 (Sunday).

The Walk Of Fame will be from 5pm - 6.30pm, on mewatch, Ch 8, Ch U, and Mediacorp Entertainment YouTube Channel on the same day.

It will be followed by the Star Awards 2026 Live Show from 7pm - 10pm on mewatch, Ch 8, Ch U, and Mediacorp Entertainment YouTube Channel.

A Singapore construction site has reached 6 million accident-free man hours, marking a major safety milestone in one of the country’s highest-risk industries. Accident-free man hours refer to the total number of hours worked across all workers without a single injury, often used as a benchmark for workplace safety performance in construction projects. While such achievements are widely celebrated, Singapore’s construction sector continues to face challenges, with dozens of deaths and major injuries reported in 2025 alone. At the same time, improvements in worker welfare — including upgraded dormitories with better living conditions, recreational facilities, and shared spaces — are becoming a key part of the broader push towards safer worksites. #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #singapore #sgnews #migrantworkers

Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong recently spoke in Parliament about the need for Singapore to conserve energy, suggesting measures such as using fans instead of air-conditioning and taking public transport where possible. While the message highlighted the importance of reducing electricity consumption, netizens online had mixed reactions, with many pointing out the challenges of cutting back on air-conditioning in Singapore’s hot and humid climate, with the haze being a recent issue. The discussion reflects the balance between sustainability efforts and everyday, often necessary, comforts in a tropical city. #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #singapore #sgnews #sgviral
