Han Geng of China won the Favorite Asian Act at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2013, beating South Korea’s Psy, Malaysia’s Shila Amzah and the Philippines’ Sarah Geronimo.
Han Geng was a former member of the popular South Korean boy band, Super Junior, but officially left the group in 2011 and now pursues a solo career. He was torch bearer for the 2008 Beijing Olympics and was 2012 MTV Europe Music Awards’ best worldwide act.
He started studying dance as a child. When he was 12, he left his family in Northeast China because he got accepted into the dance department of the Minzu University of China in Beijing, a national-level university designated for China’s ethnic minorities. Han Geng is of ethnic Nanai descent.
Meanwhile, many thought Psy would win the award because he recently conquered the world with his hit song Gangnam Style. Pinoys, however, were hopeful that it would be Sarah. It could have been to have a winning streak since Charice was last year’s winner of the said award.
Favorite Asian Act winner was declared during the Asian broadcast of the awards ceremonies on Monday, March 25.
