Creative Director
My name is LAOWANG1102, from Malaysia.
I’ve been a creative director in an ad agency, and now it’s time for me to pursue unfulfilled dream.
As I’m getting older, I feel like I should be doing what I really want to do, so during this pandemic I’ve made a hard decision to quit my job and do what I’ve always wanted to do.

一个非常难的决定就是离职去做我自己想做的事情。
So I’ve created Laowang character IP from scratch. I hope he can make my unfulfilled dream come true. Laowang is an almighty virtual character that can be anything from a virtual male model to a celebrity. He also has a superpower, if you’re interested to know what it is, you can follow the WeChat account 花臂老王 to know more. It doesn’t matter, how far Laowang will go, whether or not he can become viral, I have to try and do this to live without regrets.
