April 29 (Wednesday)<\/strong><\/p>\n Emi Wong<\/strong> is a successful YouTuber with over 1.9 million subscribers.\u00a0 She was admitted to one of the top programmes at HKU: International Business and Global Management (IBGM) of the Faculty of Business and Economics.\u00a0 However, Emi found it was not all smooth sailing when she started her career in the business field. While she was searching for an alternative career path, Emi made videos about her diet and exercise, and posted them online without the expectation of receiving many responses.\u00a0But as it turned out, her videos received many very positive responses and people started to follow her channel.\u00a0To ensure a stable income, Emi kept her job in the business sector while continuing to develop her YouTube career.\u00a0After a year, she decided to be a full-time YouTuber. \u201cWhen compared with my classmates, my income was minimal when I first turned to be a YouTuber.\u00a0 But I would rather work using the best of my abilities and look for what I am really interested in rather than compare myself to others,\u201d Emi said.\u00a0 These days Emi spends a lot of time working behind the scenes on the production of her video clips.<\/p>\n Julian Gaertner<\/strong>, who was born and grew up in Germany, regards himself as a Hong Kong person. He has been wanting to live and work in a Chinese city, and was looking for an unconventional way of living. Julian had short-term work in Shanghai and then he found Hong Kong, with its East-meets-West culture, suited him best.\u00a0 That was why he chose to study at HKU and learn Putonghua and Cantonese. After graduation, he started his career as a producer and actor of TV and films in Hong Kong. \u201cI like to reinvent myself. I enjoy the experience of playing different roles each day, which gives me the choice to be the person I want to be. \u201d He also worked on his mobile learning startups. \u201cAlthough the income from acting is not that stable, having a pleasant experience is also important,\u201d Julian said.<\/p>\n Emi agreed, \u201cI like my YouTube path since I can create and decide on the content I like. Being a YouTuber, one needs to have a strong heart and confidence in your own values in order to create your own path, which no one can take away.\u201d<\/p>\n Julian thinks one must have the motivation to change and take challenges. \u201cDon’t wait for opportunities to come to you, that will not work. Create opportunities, let people know who you are and what your abilities are.\u201d<\/p>\n Final-year student Husnain<\/strong> also prefers unconventional ways of living. As a Hong Kong born Pakistani, Husnain speaks fluent Cantonese. He hopes to develop a YouTube channel introducing different cultures and said, \u201cI have been thinking about creating a channel to introduce Islamic culture to the public but never got around to do it. With COVID-19, I have to stay at home, now is the best time to start filming.\u201d He also has an idea to open a Halal restaurant since, as a Muslim, he feels he has the responsibility to let fellow Muslims in Hong Kong enjoy delicious food.<\/p>\n To wrap up the topic of \u201cBrand New Me\u201d, Erik Mak<\/strong> said, \u201cOpportunity comes to those who are prepared. Whether it is changes in yourself or in the social environment; instantly or gradually; you must take the first step before any changes would happen.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/a> With more than 1.9 million subscribers on YouTube and 394,000 followers on Instagram, Emi Wong is currently the most subscribed individual YouTuber in Hong Kong. She was named number 1 in the Top 10 Rising Local Creators by YouTube in 2017. She achieved 7As in her Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination and graduated from HKU with a Bachelor of Business Administration (International Business and Global Management). Before her YouTube career, Emi worked as a management trainee at Pernod Ricard and as a social media storyteller for lululemon in Hong Kong. Emi is also a certified advanced personal trainer and started her full-time YouTube career in 2018 to share with the world that fitness and health can be for everyone.<\/span> Julian is an independent film producer, award-winning actor and entrepreneur.
