JADEN_THE_POOL_LOVER

I sat down for a chat with ‘Jaden_the_ppol_lover’ from Hong Kong, the teenage Instagram sensation with over 25 million views.

He isn’t just a cool content creator showing off his trick shot skills but is also an aspiring player and is coached by pro player and fellow countryman Lo Ho Sum.

He shuffles his time between school and pool, rising at 7 am every morning, and after his studies, he helps his Mum Miko Chan and Dad Royston with one of the family. businesses selling template racks, the Magic Ball Rack (As seen at all Matchroom events.)

He is also an entrepreneur and already has a very shrewd head on his shoulders. Incidentally, Dad Royston is also a player and regularly competes, and at the time of writing, this. Jaden is at the Matchroom wnt 9 Ball Open in Hanoi, Vietnam.

He truly is a pool fanatic like myself and is always looking for ways to entertain his followers, looking for unique tables. (See an example in the interview in my background) and his instructional videos are very interesting and entertaining. Also, he has a unique style and delivery, which makes him very endearing and likable.

This 13-year-old Hong Kongian, can I say that, is it even a word? Well, it is now, he is an inspiration, and a lot of his talk about algorithms, reach, and many other terms was like a foreign language to this dinosaur. I couldn’t get my head around a lot he was telling me, but after hearing him explain it in a way that even a Grandad like me could understand, it made sense and explained why I got 100 views on a post while his idea of ‘Viral’ is a few hundred thousand.
