image. That is why he is very suitable to take on the spokesperson job.

he dreamt of advancing to. It is hard-earned to have a chance to head to
Korea this time so he is highly anticipating and will treasure the opportunity.


As for the endorsement fee, Nicholas made used of the words “really satisfied”
in his reply. It actually amounts to a 6-figure sum and is the highest so
far he receives. However, he did not directly respond and expressed that
it is a different line of product after all. Therefore, it is not possible
to make comparisons. He said：“This is an opportunity that's hard to come
by. I have always been keenly interested in 3C products and is not capable
of denying that the offers made by LG are very good. Furthermore, they are
very supportive of 《From Now On》concert.”

According to information obtained, Nicholas will be shooting the ad for
the product endorsements following such. Moreover, the song played during
the conference, 《新歌試唱》"Xin Ge Shi Chang" also received a high degree
of attention focus. There is the interest of turning it into KF510 handphone
commercial main theme song.

Dance moves being criticised
Nicholas explains that he does not know how to act cool

《新歌試唱》MV's hard-trained dance moves with "unnatural" actions have
stirred up sounds of criticisms. Nevertheless, Nicholas has announced that
he will be dancing disco, microphone dance, chair dance and waltz. After
3-week-long training in Taiwan, he said with confidence that：“Although
I don't dare to guarantee that my dancing will be excellent, I will do my
best.”

As for the bad results in《新歌試唱》MV, Teo frankly said that netizens
also crticised his dance as pretentious. In fact, for the sake of filming
this MV, he only spent two days for practice. Added to the dance instructor's
request for him to act cool and under the situation of being unnatural,
it led to the feeling of "pretentious" surfacing.

“Acting cool has been my weakness all along. I fall under the group of
being 'natural'. Acting cool will cause me to feel unnatural.”As for
《From Now On》concert's most costly RM260 and RM200 tickets were sold-out,
Nicholas felt happy after hearing such news.

It is only left 5 days before his 《From Now On》concert. Nicholas expressed
that upon thinking that the concert is soon approaching, he simply feels
nervous and sleep times are also affected. “Actually, during rehearsals
in Taiwan, I felt fine still. However, the moment I came back to Malaysia，
the mood naturally turns anxious.”He has lost 5 kilograms for the concert
and looks much thinner.

Despite being so, he explains that his vitality is still not bad and everyone
should not worry.
