Malaysia hotpot eatery manager becomes local celebrity after viral dance, leads to overseas tour
Young woman has 100,000 followers on Xiaohongshu, with many saying she should perform in South Korea
An employee who gained fame for her high-quality dancing at a Malaysian branch of the renowned Chinese Haidilao hotpot chain has embarked on a tour of the brand’s Singapore outlets this month.
The 21-year-old manager at a Haidilao near Penang in northern Malaysia has captivated customers with her professional-quality dance performances and has received invitations to perform internationally.
Known online as “Little Bai”, she frequently appears in posts on TikTok, Facebook, and Xiaohongshu, and has a knack for getting her colleagues to join in on dance routines to various popular songs.
With over 100,000 followers on Xiaohongshu, she draws customers to her outlet specifically to watch her dance. Many online comments suggest that she should “debut in South Korea”.
Her rising popularity led Haidilao to arrange a “dance tour” across 10 Singapore locations from September 23 to 27. Haidilao Singapore announced the tour on social media, offering free food to diners who attended her performances.
