The TikTok community has this medical myth debunker to thank for addressing COVID-19 misinformation, especially during the height of the pandemic.

From post-vaccine tips to sexual health misconceptions, @dr.samhan consistently posts helpful bite-sized videos at least two to three times a day — on top of maintaining daily duties at the clinic he works at.

Despite his busy schedule, the doctor's purpose in creating a TikTok account was to share his knowledge with the masses. It is no wonder that this passion of his has earned him a whopping 1.2 million followers. :O

He started his account under the handle @alexhkf in 2020, and found that the platform afforded him a voice to represent his identity, creative visions, as well as goals as a dancer. This felt especially liberating to Alex, as he lost his job during the pandemic and was feeling particularly demotivated.

Nonetheless, he stuck to his challenge of posting consistently, which soon paid off. What started out as dance videos, developed into entertaining content that incorporates more complicated transition and transformation skills that TikTok is also known for. 

Alex enjoys interacting with his followers, which is why you might feel like you're commenting on a friend's post — even with the 5.6 million followers he's amassed. :D

The 24-year-old Malaysian creator made his TikTok handle, @itsafiqhakim, just for fun in 2019. And he certainly didn't anticipate TikTok to change his life like it has.

It all started when Afiq hopped on the My Mom Met My Dad trend. His posts shows him lip-syncing to the This Is My Family audio by STEEERLING, while depicting Shaheizy Sam and Dwayne Johnson as his celebrity parent-lookalikes — and the rest, as they say, is history.
