    Guo Liang (born 11 November 1968) is a Chinese-born Singaporean actor, television host and radio deejay.

    Career

    Guo graduated from the

    Television Corporation of Singapore (predecessor of MediaCorp). He joined TCS in 1994.[1] He joined SPH MediaWorks in late 2000[2] but returned to MediaCorp in 2005 when the two companies merged. Although trained as an actor, he is mostly known in Singapore as television host of several MediaCorp Channel 8 programmes, including the current affairs show Hello Singapore
    .

    In 2019, Guo hosted the dating variety show titled The Destined One.

    Guo is currently a guest presenter with

    Love 97.2FM. He is also an acting coach.[3]

    Personal life

    Guo married Jade Shen Jie, a Chinese citizen, in 1994 and has a son, Marcus. He took up Singaporean citizenship in 2001[4] and his wife took up Singaporean citizenship in 2015.[5]

    In 2010, Guo and Elvin Ng were reportedly engaged in an online feud over comments exchanged in the dressing room during filming of the drama series Breakout.[6] The incident was notably parodied in a skit at the Star Awards 2011 in which Christopher Lee, portraying series director Chong Liung Man, tells their respective characters to "stop fighting" and "write on [their] blogs".
