Former One Direction star Zayn Malik reveals Chinese secret behind his voice
- Mainland social media stunned as ex-boy band superstar says he never leaves home without special China syrup
British singer-songwriter and former member of the boy band One Direction, Zayn Malik, has stunned mainland social media by revealing that a Chinese herbal syrup is among his must-carry daily belongings.
In a recent YouTube “What’s In The Bag” video with the magazine British Vogue, which had attracted 332,000 views in just six days following its posting, Malik shared what he carried in his Fendi duffle bag.
He is seen pulling a teddy bear, an antiperspirant, toothbrush and toothpaste, and a perfume bottle from the bag, nothing unusual for a 31-year-old public figure.
The singer then reveals the next item, a bottle of Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa.
Also known as “Nin Jiom Herbal Cough Syrup”, it is a traditional Chinese natural herbal remedy used to relieve coughs, sore throats, fever, and aphonia.
Malik said in the video that the syrup is his “special elixir” that is “ridiculously good for your vocal cords”, adding that he takes it everywhere he goes, especially when he is singing.
