Hosted by Malaysian influencer, Jenn Chia, The Amazing Sunway City Challenge features Asia’s top ten hottest social media “superstars”: Malaysia’s Jaa Suzuran, the Philippines’ Medyo Maldito, India’s RJ Abhinav, Indonesia’s Michelle Joan, Singapore’s Matthew Stewart, Taiwan’s Ironbull, Thailand’s SorDor Style, China’s Gong Yi, South Korea’s Hong Young Gee and United Arab Emirates’ Hadia Ghaleb in a battle across the world-class premier tourist destination of Sunway City Kuala Lumpur to be crowned the champion of The Amazing Sunway City Challenge. What a title to add to your CV, eh?
Some of the more daunting tasks they went through were the bungee jump in Sunway Lagoon, team mission in Sunway Pyramid’s ice skating rink and hurtling down the world’s largest water ride, Vuvuzela.
Personally, the entire concept sounds incredibly cringe-worthy. But then again, I suppose that’s reality TV. Can’t wait to see what they come up with next.
