CHANGSHA (HUNAN): He walked onto the set of a variety show at the popular Hunan TV station for a look-see and was greeted by deafening screams.
These came from about 100 teenage girls - many with highlights in their hair - who were there yesterday for the recording of the top-rated show, Tian Tian Xiang Shang (Day Day Up).
Grinning, the special guest told them in Mandarin: 'I am not filming today, just here to take a look.'
For that one minute or so, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong was accorded TV star treatment.
He was visiting the famous media outfit as part of his tour of Hunan's provincial capital Changsha.
Despite being a provincial station, Hunan TV has a national reach and is very popular in China for its entertainment and variety programmes.
Ranked No. 1 in the country last year, it boasts hits such as period drama serial Huanzhu Gege (My Fair Princess) and the American Idol-esque show, Super Girl.
But the Singapore leader is quite sure he is not the station's latest star.
'The students were all very enthusiastic, and they gave me a warm welcome. Not because of me, but because they were enjoying the show,' an amused Mr Lee told Hunan Acting Governor Xu Shousheng after the visit. 'I don't think they knew who I was, they were just enjoying themselves.'
