i've always admired how supportive Pearl is. she's an asian parent wholly supporting her son's esports journey - that's very very rare in SEA. she isn't just supportive, but she actively tries to learn about the industry and doesn't restrict Jing and lets him do what he needs to succeed
His mother is so calm and collected. I'm sure she is very supportive. I love people like her.
what a relationship. amazed at how pearl actually understands the scene and even knows the jargons. i wonder what i might have been focused on if i wasnt brainwashed into a certain path my mother forced me to take

he seems like the type of guy who's very chill to hang with! and Pearl seems like a cool mom too! glad she's very supportive of her son's career choices. not many Asian families really get the professional gaming scene! best wishes for Jinggg and his family!
been watching his streams since he joined PRX and its rlly a safe space to be in!! he'll say hi to everyone who greets him in the chat and talks to us casually like friends. unlike other streamers who screams when they lose or curse the opponents out, jinggg just takes it calm and easy which makes me happy to be in his chat when he streams. rlly nice to listen to while doing work as well!!
he's mom is so chill and also jingg. I'm glad that his mom gives him the opportunity to explore on what he loves
i remember the first time i saw jinggg min his first tournament with paper rex. i wasn’t expect nothing since shiba left the team. but now, wow you can see how he made a huge impact to their play style and now become a king of apac and second place in world series. and he’s just like other paper rex players. they don’t want to prove anything, they always play for fun. even if the management have to pay the plane ticket to brazil, which is so expensive for sure, they still play for fun and expect nothing😂

Indochinese refers to a region that makes up 3 country which is Laos,Cambodia and Vietnam. Those 3 countries were a former French united colony called French Indochina. Jing's ancestors are probably from there or I could be mistaken and that they're actually Chinese-Indonesians like you have mentioned@@achmaddzaki03

As a 40 year old adult who teaches kids, I hope the parents who watched this video can support their kids more and let them pursue what they enjoy. Ultimately we want our children to achieve their own version of success, and be happy pursuing their own dreams, not the parents' dreams.
his mom is so supportive, 🥺
He is 19 year old; so in essense he has a short span to be great and win major tournament; 30 is peak.... so he has 11 years to maximised his potential.. then after that he can live stream for a living..

I remember his mom exposing their messages about Jing asking for money for skins lmaooo
Damn it's so nice to see a parent supporting childs gaming
its blessing when u have supportive parents to do what u like.
Enjoyable interview, what a bond between 2 individuals who love & respect each others. just like jj said, work hard in something you love. champions stuff.
