PETALING JAYA: Malaysian singer Jeryl Lee Pei Ling is rumored to have won The Next 2023, a reality TV show in China, despite the final episode not being aired yet, according to Sin Chew Daily.
A total of 26 contestants participated in the competition, which began in July.
After weeks of eliminations, the 23-year-old emerged as one of the top five finalists and was considered the favorite to win.
The final episode, where the winner will be announced, was recorded on Wednesday and is scheduled to be aired on Sept 30.
However, members of the audience who attended the filming leaked the results.
It is said that Lee was crowned the champion.
Ella Chen, a well-known artist and a mentor on the show, allegedly praised Lee for having the “personality of a queen”.
Lee, originally from Penang, is no stranger to reality TV competitions.
In 2016, at the age of 17, she gained fame as one of the six finalists on the reality talent show Sing! China, which took place at the Bird’s Nest Stadium in Beijing.
