Commentary: What’s with the spate of half-naked men these days? From topless male cleaners to a local photographer baring it for a movie role, men without their shirts are grabbing headlines and it reeks of a double standard, Karen Tee says.

SINGAPORE: It seems like Singapore is having a Magic Mike moment with buff, shirtless men making the news in recent weeks.
On Thursday (Apr 29), a photograph of model Chuando Tan’s sculpted torso made it to the cover of the country’s national broadsheet, ostensibly to herald his first film role where he bares all in the movie.

Local actress Chen Yixin who turned 21 just recently posted a short clip from her new movie Precious Is The Night on her Instagram on Thursday (April 29), and some of the comments have turned out to be more interesting than her post itself.
The video clip showed local hunkle Chuando Tan, 55, advancing onto Yixin seductively, backing her into a wall. Although the movie premiered this week, it was actually filmed a few years ago, which makes Yixin still a teen at that time.
When Chuando left a heart emoticon in the comment section, her father, 60-year-old local celebrity/hunkle Edmund Chen, replied hilariously: Chuando boy, I m watching.
