Look Ma, I'm An (Kid) Influencer! | On The Red Dot | Young And Boss
These cool kids are influencing the way we see brands on social media, and they've only just started primary school! 7-year-old Hayley Ng has been a popular influencer with her 15,000 Instagram followers for years. But this year, businesses are cutting back on their budgets following COVID-19. Can the veteran kid influencer keep a tight grip on her popularity, or will younger brother Finley finally close in at her heels? Zemily Leaw is the youngest influencer on one of Singapore's most popular KZhead channels. But behind her fame and fortune lies a story of trolls, cyberbullying and a mother's unfailing love.

Now we’re congratulating people for having common sense, great. What type of world are we living in
Got to work with zemily when she was 5 for an ad, by far she is one of the most outstanding child i've encountered in my life. Very mature for her age and takes very little effort to please! Her relationship with her mom amazed me at her age where she is able to empathise her mom's struggles to raise her alone. Getting into social media and acting wasn't even something her mother forced her into, it was an opportunity for her to try out at an audition, and Zemily fell in love with the spotlight immediately with her mom being her biggest fan from then on! Seeing the growth she had over the last two years makes me incredibly proud of her!
aaaaawwww
Hmmmm I feel that Zemily is more mature and therefore understands that her mom is the sole breadwinner of the family. That's probably why she cares more about making money. Plus at least she has NOC to filter out most of the bad stuff for her! Let's not hate on these kids and their parents, when all they did was post about their kids and they just happen to make money out of it.
It's not "just". It's exploiting kids for money. Why expose kids to this kind of toxic world instead of building them up for healthy human relationship?
@@RonLarhz if the parents are forcing the kids to do these kinds of things then yes it’s exploiting them. but the kids seem happy and aren’t complaining. are you saying that the parents you know of don’t post ANY pictures of their kids on social media? times have changed, children are going to be exposed to social media anyway, at an even earlier age than us. also, how do you know they are not exposed to healthy human relationships? what you see from this video is just a small part of their lives, i’m pretty sure they get “healthy human interaction” off camera as well. as mentioned, the kids themselves are not the ones handling their social media account, it’s the parents. all they’re doing is simply receiving products and taking pictures. all the back-end stress falls on their parents. if the parents handle it well and filter what the kids are exposed to, the kids will never see the full blown nasty side of social media YET. also, is it not better to take this opportunity to teach them about real life situations such as bullying/ cyber bullying now? rather than wait for them to ACTUALLY be bullied in real life? you don’t know their real lives, i would not assume what they are feeling just from this short video.
im genuinely surprised that zemily is speaking so intelligently at such a young age. she is very mature for her age, which could be because of this
Zemily is such a dear ❤️ my heart melted when she said "she's a very good mother" so sincerely :')
Hey! I’m a girl and I produce music and would love for you to subscribe to my channel I just started so I’m a bit nervous any feedback is warmly welcome!
Zemily knows that her family needs money for future rainy days. Wow. My mother is a very good mother, too, only in her day, she would encourage me and my siblings to study hard and reach out what we want in life. Thanks, Mom.
Really hope she doesn't grow up to be one of those 'InFLuEnCerS'

Zemily is such a sweetheart 💞.. Mum is definitely instilling the right values
Yes, love her support
zemily is so mature especially for a 7 year old !
NOC is indeed helping Zemily's family. Glad to know that.
I second this ... she's very mature
@@lendleasereit6797 we need more family friendly influncer companies like NOC too!
@@seanchen9265 and Jianhao Tan. Not a fan but realize that guy cares and is conscious who his main audience are and how their actions in the videos might influence them I caught that from something they said or did from a video I watched
Noc as in Night Owl Cinamatics?
@@sichen3747 yeap
omg zemily is so polite i feel attacked 😭
Same sis, same.😭
Same 😂
zemily is so eloquent for her age. must not be easy for her mum to juggle so many matters as well. props to both! 💕
At first I was thinking “how come she’s so popular out of the other many many cute kids all other the internet?” Then I saw the way Zemily speak and behave....WOW. She’s mature and polite and sounds so intelligent. Also have very good mindset and appreciates her mother. Not many 7 year old can speak like this. I wish my kid can be like that in the future.
Glad that Zemily is able to do what she enjoys. But there are quite a few issues that make me feel uneasy about this. 1) It smells like child labour, why should a 7 year old have to care about making money? 2) Marketing things to kids and convincing kids to convince their parents to buy things. Theres enough consumerism out there, need we start them so young?
Umm, she does it because she enjoys it, her mum did not force her. Maybe her mum started it, but she has the choice if she wants to continue or not, therefore it is not labour
Idk about you but I was born trying to make money even though I have more than enough money to survive I just enjoy business, no one could be forcing her she could just be born like that.
some people are just born enjoying making money, my dad is a great example of it. He was always a business man even if his degree says he's a doctor. Zemily seems like one of those types of people who were practically born to make the big bucks while enjoying it. Of course, there's no telling if the mother is actually telling the truth, but seeing as kids are so brutally honest, I'm pretty sure she is. Their chemistry is tough.
It’s great he mom tries to shield her 💖💖💖 She’s mature for her age and she is adorable!
Shocked to see my ex-teacher Mrs Wendy having kids who are influencers😳
I’m really sorry for younger influencers who receives hate because they are too enthusiastic ...... there’s nothing much we can do about it :/
This is a fantastic mini docu! I admire their parents for instilling good qualities in them ❤️
At 7 I was learning how to count to 100 tho... and they are getting paid alr
I can tell that Zemily is alot more mature then people from the other family
11:23 that's what all parents say during Chinese new year, and see what happens 😂 #trustissues
Glad they teach her what to do when bullies or trolls come
It’s great that they love it,but I think it’s best if kids aren’t thinking and worrying about social media at this age.They should have fun while they can! 💕
Guessed they (the parents) are inspired by Ryan's toys channel. This boy earns more than most adults in a year.
Your only saying this because there isn't really a word for more than most
OMGGGG ZEMILY IS SO SO SO CUTEEEEE
No I don’t want to do the rest , I wanna be a bus driver got me cracking up
Zemily is so cute~~~I like how she said her mom is a very good mother ^^
I thought their family r just using them but they look like they are genuinely having fun. happy for them :)
These kids are so eloquent at this age!! Amazing!
The kids speak really well especially zemily. No singlish 👍👍👍.
I understand this kid is happy and all but this ain't a life for a kid, look how this kid already cares about money so right now I really hope when she gets older she won't be that kind of girl who is "yes money is life"
Well I suppose they are earning it and not given it ! These kids are the exception being extremely intelligent and definitely not spoilt at all !
Ok but Zamily’s mum is an amazing mother!! It’s not easy to raise a kid alone and look at Zemily now. She’s so mature and even more mature than some adults. She understands her mum’s struggles even though she’s so young and ya that’s wholesome!
I love how Zemily's mom is so supporting and seems like she tries hard to make it fun for her. Zemily is so mature too! 😆👏🏻
Zemily is so thoughtful and such a cutie!
I have never seen them before...
Same
I've only seen one of them which is zemily, I think I saw her on noc before
First time seeing these people
@@yilin1495 ya she is part of the noc family
Pumpkin kill same
I respect them but I would not want to make a account for my children and I’ll only give them an account when they ask cos tbh social media is a very toxic place
They keep saying hayley is too old, but she's still really cute imo
But hope they enjoy their childhood and protected. They be blessed and grow up a fine young woman and man
They’re all wholesome tbh
ikr
Zemily so mature Kudos to the siblings as well💙
This kid is so adorable! >w
Why do I see kid influencers or influencers' kids are wrong and it just like child labor. Do their parents know how these things will affect their mental health when they're bigger? I know one of influencer's child who's been exposed to internet literally everyday since he was born and exploiting him to attract advertisers..... Ps. I know it sounds a bit harsh but....
What to do... you need to milk them right.
I Agree.. everything should be in moderation.. right.. and not just accepting blindly and greedily..
Ahhh Haley goes to the same dance studio as me! She goes to Attitude Arts!
I like Zemily,she's so cute,she made my day :')
Zemily definitely doesn't seem like a 7 year old haha.. but yes, Zemily seems authentic.
Zemily is very brave
"they're one of the most influential kids in Singapore!" Me: uh...who are they?
Zemily is soo CUTE!!
All these kid influencers are so cuteeee 😍
proud of you zem !
In my opinion, its quite sad that brands tend to find kids that are more younger because they are more "cuter". (Not saying that younger kids aren't cute)
how do i not know these kids- I COULDN'T EVEN SPEAK THAT WELL WHEN I WAS AT THEIR AGE 😭 HOW I ENVY THEIR BRAINS SO MUCHHHHH bro how can anyone hate on zemily is it bc she's not as cute as hayley and finley SHE MAY BE UGLY ON THE OUTSIDE BUT SHE IS BEAUTIFUL ON THE INSIDE BI- great that finley is telling younger kids to become bus drivers bc most kids (+ 20 yr olds) from gen z, which i am also in, want to become influencers but don't know how to make it to the top but it feels sort of "refreshing" and a little funny to see someone so young (barely even like what, 10?) wanting to become a bus driver bc is pretty uncommon for young ppl to think about taking that up as a job. i hope to see him actually pursue his dream job :) same hayley same i wanna be a teacher too
Most kids nowadays being an influencer and me working 5 days a week getting scolded by boss .. times are different
So moving!🥰
Lmao not Yall saying zemily is known for doing sponsorships video , I only know her from the television lmao
Parents should be responsible what their child does, i think this is kinda exploiting the children... Because its not ethical for parents to share their childrens' private lives, i worry that they might get attached to the fame... I wish that they would be careful. Edit: i can't, im getting ptsd from the ace family and other family channels
You have ace in your name -_- so of course you cant tell what a normal family looks like
@@KenCarsonfromatlanta , What are you trying to imply? Anyways in my opinion i think its a risky thing but i do like how they do enjoy taking pics and such, and i just hope that they are happy throughout their life. Edit: i added a word, opinion
@@KenCarsonfromatlanta , Also please don't judge names, im just saying that after knowing what certain family channels do with their children.

She is so cute I love kids
wait i know zemily! i saw her at shuqun primary school
Free clothes and vochers! Wow!! Keep it up!!! :3
I know Zemily from NOC 😂
hopefully the parents are aware of the number of pedophiles online and protect their kids against them
I am wondering if "arm pit" meant something else, but zemily's mom seemed like she had a good handle on that
Zemily is my friend!!!!!!
7:41 I have the same blanket
There so cute
Zemily is a good girl
She's 7 and smarter than an average 7th grader in my school
I’m an 12year old child l have never been in the spot light ever in my life seeing theirs vid made me go like whattttt
same bruh ;-;
Forced to mature. How will these children adapt when they grew up, no longer are "cute", and not in limelight anymore?
Don't u guys think that they are a bit creepy tho
Yeah me too. Even newborns are influencer nowadays🙃
🐻
@@bubbyzblue2576 Yeah. But I love that some influencers disclose their newborns/ child’s identity because they just want the best for them.
@@54hex like dantdm
Mummy and children great jobs
Hayley is so cute
Zemily from NOC
Please tell me. Is Haley part of the competition dance team? I am but not at her studio
I saw her on tik tok
zemily?
There is some reason why 13 and below kid should not be using social media. Even if their parent help them or guild them with it, they really shouldn't have one. There are haters u know. I think kids should study hard than using social medias nowdays
Omg I recognise zemily
how about Cindy from Playtime tv
This kid is cute as pie
why is no body talking about hailey and finley
Zemily is so sweet Finely is so funny Haley is so funny as well
Sweet and adorable children. I guess so long as the children enjoys the process that's what most important. But I hope children do not grow up thinking that their self worth and values depend on the number of likes, viewership and followers that they have on instagram.
Is she Desmond Tan's niece?
Shes speaking to at the age of like that, fluently (My english is bad)
these parents are using their child for money and clout no CAP
They are at least having fun and they loved what they are doing ur only jealous
@@ngruirou4670 I wouldn’t be jealous bc I would hate putting my life out there just for money
Bruh, the child gets to keep the money, to use when older, (it goes to their bank accounts)
Aren't parents leaching on the child??
