Our bronze medallists are still getting all the attention, despite the end of the Paris Olympics last week. Lee Zii Jia recently caught the attention again for his catwalk and posing with his bronze medal.
In a viral TikTok video by @anistaqwa, Zii Jia was spotted at an exhibition event in a mall where his presence alone received cheers and claps from excited audiences. Zii Jia, who was dressed in a blue jacket, white T-shirt, and shorts then mesmerised the audience by casually walking on stage with his bronze medal.
And that’s not even the best part. Zii Jia humbly allowed the people to touch his bronze medal.
It’s not every day that you get to feel what a medal feels like, and it’s certainly a once-in-a-lifetime kind of opportunity to have an up close and personal experience with the medallist himself.
In the comment section, it was revealed that it was a fashion show event that took place during the weekend.
From badminton player to model?
Social media users were impressed with what they saw, and many praised Lee Zii Jia for winning the hearts of many Malaysians. Some also highlighted that he has the traits of a model.
“When Zii Jia retires from badminton in his 30s, he could model. Long live Brother Jia!”
“If LZJ came to my school, he would’ve gotten screams and cheers from my students!”
“He’s getting more fans.”
Others also commented on how good-looking the badminton player is.
“He is so handsome that I am going to kidnap him,” a netizen joked.
“Why are you so handsome?!”
“He looks too sweet.”
“With how good he looks, he could get rich even without badminton.”
“I would’ve invited him for a Mamak session if I was there.”
