Local influencer and actor Simonboy, known for turning his life around from drug addiction, has gotten engaged to his girlfriend Chloe Eong, also known as Simongirl.

While most people tend to choose romantic spots to pop the question, he chose to do it during a senior citizens’ walk in Pasir Ris.

Simonboy proposes in front of crowd of onlookers

Simonboy, whose real name is Simon Khung, announced that he was engaged in an ecstatic Instagram post on Sunday (17 March).

Photos he shared showed him getting down on one knee to present Simongirl with a ring.

Considering the occasion, the couple were casually dressed in T-shirts and track pants, with a crowd of aged onlookers surrounding them.

Among the crowd was ‘Money No Enough’ director Jack Neo.

Another familiar face was Henry Thia, a comedian known for starring in ‘Money No Enough’ and other local movies.

Fellow Internet celebrities Mayiduo and Tommy Wong, who co-starred with Simonboy in ‘Money No Enough 3’, also witnessed the touching moment. In his caption, Simonboy said Mayiduo was sick but came down anyway.

Simonboy gets engaged during seniors’ walk

In his post, Simonboy thanked Papazao SG (老朋友趴趴走) and Neo for allowing him to propose during their activity.

Papazao is a senior citizens’ walking group started by Neo. On Sunday, their weekly walk took place at Pasir Ris Park.

Simonboy also said that his production company Peace Street Productions laid the groundwork by preparing a banner and waiting behind a tree for hours so Simongirl didn’t see them.

He even enlisted the help of his now-fiancée’s sister and best friend to hold up the banner.

The plans were almost ruined, however, when Simongirl couldn’t get up in the morning, she shared in an Instagram story.

Simonboy had to wake her up four times between 6am and 6.27am before she finally roused from her slumber.

He conquered 16 years of drug addiction

Simonboy, 36, got a second chance at life when he conquered 16 years of drug addiction and became an influencer.

Then, a recent advertisement for a food stall that he appeared in went viral over TikTok, gaining more than 1.6 million views in five days.

It involved him playing a stall owner at Heng Heng Herbal Soup who took pity on a customer and gave him a bowl of soup though he couldn’t afford it.

After that, three local directors took notice of his creative talents and invited him to star in their movies.

His has since appeared in Jack Neo’s ‘The King of Musang King’ (2023) and ‘Money No Enough 3’ (2024) as well as another Chinese New Year movie ‘King of Hawkers’, directed by Kelvin Sng.
