Soh’s mother, Bong, told 8days.sg that the viral video came about entirely by chance.<\/p>\n
“It was my idea, but very random,” she said. “He came to the stall with me on a day when he had home-based learning and I thought, why not let him help me out?”<\/p>\n
Soh agreed only after negotiating a deal. He revealed that his mother promised him money to buy Pokemon cards in exchange for appearing on camera. The incentive was performance-based, too.<\/p>\n
“I get $30 for 1,000 likes. If I get 10,000 likes, she’ll pay me $50,” Soh said, sounding every bit the savvy young businessman.<\/p>\n
Bong admitted she never expected the video to take off.<\/p>\n
“I was super surprised,” she said.<\/p>\n
The clip has since crossed the 10,000-like mark (it\u2019s currently at 11,500 and has 235,000 views), which means Soh successfully unlocked the higher payout.<\/p>\n
“Yes, he makes sure he gets paid,” Bong laughed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
