Eye Candy : Aben Weng


Eye Candy : Aben Weng

HE is indisputably the cutest of the new Taiwanese quintet Knights Of Princess.

Meet Aben Weng, or Ah Ben to fans.

First shooting to fame as a contestant in the Channel (V) reality TV show Lollipop, he has since made a name for himself for being the best rapper among his peers.

While the 26-year-old heart-throb used to draw flak for being too effeminate, he is now adored for the same reason.

The skinny leader of Knights Of Princess also defended the band's rather unusual moniker.

He said: 'We may look frail but we're not effeminate at all.

'We will do our best to protect our princesses.'

Before joining Lollipop, Aben was busy doing a degree in film studies and working part-time as a crew member in a TV station.

He also appeared as a guest on popular variety shows like Guess Guess Guess and Talk Between Generations.

Incidentally, he never planned on becoming an artiste.

He told his school's campus publication in late 2005 that he didn't think he would survive with his acting and singing skills.

And he said he would rather work behind the scenes and help groom newcomers instead.

How things have changed.

Aben is now one of the shiniest stars of the Lollipop family, with three idol dramas to his name.

Yummy factor: 3 out of 5
