Affectionately dubbed Hai Lancha by his fans, in reference to his stellar performance in The Story of Yanxi Palace, Lawrence has also recently appeared as Yang Dingyi in the recent Channel 8 hit drama My One In A Million. Aside his acting career, Lawrence Wong is also a star in the fashion industry. Loved by the fashion community and with strong social media presence, he has graced the cover of many fashion magazines, including Men’s Uno Malaysia, The Man Asia, U Weekly, August Man, and Nuyou Singapore, among others.
Lawrence Wong said, "Everyone around me knows that I love travelling and that I used to go on mandatory backpack trips at least twice a year to various less-travelled destinations! Travelling around to see the world and experiencing life in different cultures allows me to grow and recharge. Even now when I’m so busy with my career, I’ll still make it a point to at least do short getaways around nearby destinations. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. I feel incredibly lucky and excited to be part of the Trip.com family. Together, I hope we can inspire the wanderlust in you to take some time off, see the world and be awed by its beauty."
