Prince Mak Podcast

This week Prince Mak talks about his HSC (year 12 exam) experience. He says it was a nightmare. He was always a last minute person so he'd leave his studying until the last minute; he'd study in the few days before an exam, which was quite stressful. He did pretty well considering. Not so well in his English and Physics exam, but nailed his Chinese and Music exam, and did pretty well in Math. His advice for students studying their final year 12 exams now is: don't stress, study study study, stay focused, sleep early, sleep well and good luck to you all.

This week Prince Mak tells us all about his trip to Thailand; he got culture shock but had an amazing time. The food was great, he LOVES coconut juice. Prince Mak had two fresh coconuts everyday. He loved the food too. He got a massage everyday because they were so cheap; it cost about $10 (AUD) for an hour. The star also did a lot of water sports like snorkelling, jet-skiing and parasailing  - you can check out his trip on this week's Prince Mak Diaries! He stayed at some amazing hotels including one with its own pool and one on top of a mountain. Yeah, listen and live vicariously through him guys (we are)!

This week Prince Mak talks about his school days. He says he got into a lot of fights, which often had to do with racism. He was a victim of racism a lot. There weren't a lot of Asian kids at his school. But he was a good kid, even though he got into fights. He doesn't have the best memories from his school days...his favourite memory? Prince Mak's dad would bring him McDonalds for lunch three out of five days and the kids looked up to him because they were jealous. The famous star also reveals a day in the life of an idol.

This week Prince Mak gives advice on how you can learn a new language. He says you can begin by learning new phrases and remembering those. His biggest tip is to become friends with someone who speaks the language you are learning, and only that language. It will force you to speak that language (instead of reverting back to English). It's the best way, Prince Mak believes, to learn a new language. The pop star also has some tips for getting more YouTube views...

This week Prince Mak tells us about his busy schedule, and what it takes to succeed as an actor. Prince Mak goes to a class at 9 am every day; he's not really part of the class but he learns from listening and watching other actors who are part of a drama. The drama is kind of like China's version of Game of Thrones, so he watches the actors learn horse-riding, fighting, acting and script reading. He then goes to his own classes, learning martial arts. He's out until about 9 pm, and gets to bed at about 10 - 11 pm to start his day all over again. Sometimes he drives 2 hours to get to his classes. He works hard, he says you have to work hard.

This week Prince Mak treats you to some rapping. He shows off his rapping, hip-hop skillz. It's pretty funny, but the boy's got skill and can rhyme like a champion. Get your ears ready for a treat.

This week Prince Mak tells us how to prep for KCON 2017 AUSTRALIA!! He says to get there early; it's open for a long time and you want to try everything. Wear comfortable clothes; you're barely sitting down so you want to make sure you're comfy. Stay hydrated. Expect long lines, especially for panels featuring celebrities - get there early so you're first in line. Go to the toilet before the concert starts because you don't want to miss anything! Stay safe and enjoy your time.

This week Prince Mak gives himself some advice about being a single man, especially on Valentine's Day in China. China has multiple Valentine's Days and Prince Mak hates them. He'd say to himself, "Fighting" and "go for it." He wants to know, what do you do for the day of love?

This week Prince Mak explains why he goes by the name 'Prince.' His middle name is Prince, and when he asked his Dad why, he explained it's because his Dad is the King. Prince Mak's not sure if that's true or not, but his actual name is Henry, so Henry Prince Mak. He couldn't use the name Henry when he started in the industry because there was already Super Junior's Henry. Also, Prince Mak hurt his neck this week - it's in a brace. Don't worry, he's ok but the story sounds a bit scary!

This week Prince Mak hung out with his mate, GOT7's Jackson (no, we're totally not jealous...), they ate Two Minute Noodles and packets of chips (still not jealous...) and spoke about what projects they had coming up, and took some funny photos - Prince Mak's going to upload one on his social media soon. Prince Mak says Jackson is doing really well in China! Plus, Prince Mak shares his tips on staying up late to study and what he'd do if he was a girl for one day...
