Symptoms have been said to include heaving breathing and wild dancing — no we aren’t talking about the virus in Missy Elliot’s 2003 hit, Pass That Dutch, rather a new phenomenon taking the world by storm —and that’s TikTok.
TikTok, which makes short and shareable mobile videos, has become a global sensation, and in 2020 it became the world’s most downloaded app, with over 400 million daily active users in China alone. From hilarious singalongs, comedic montages, make-up to tutorials, dance challenges and bake offs, there is something for everyone. But, despite the fact that the influence of TikTok is everywhere you look, there are tonnes of us who still haven’t downloaded it yet and worse still, have no idea who to follow. Fear not! We’ve rounded up our 18 favourite TikTok users in Hong Kong and beyond to ease you into the app's format (and hopefully make you laugh along the way).
