Reception
In 2015, as part of an episode, Chen's parody music video titled "Unbelievable", was "lauded" for the nonsensical line "I so stunned like vegetable" [sic], drawing the attention of Time magazine.[3][4] A second parody music video, "Sandcastle in My Heart", in which Irene Ang also starred, did not become as popular as the previous one. Both videos are a parody of popular Chinese MVs in the 1970s, particularly the work of Singaporean singer Huang Qing Yuan.[3] The "Unbelievable" music video was top of YouTube's list of the top trending (non-music) videos in Singapore for 2015.[5]
