Newsworthy incidents

Nicole Choo’s book 'Nineteen' (2018)

In 2018, local YouTuber Nicole Choo released her book titled ‘Nineteen’ as part of the 'BuySingLit' national movement. Following the release, Dee Kosh and local social media personality Hirzi published a YouTube video criticizing the book. In the video, they had pointed out that Nicole Choo’s work read more like "social media captions" instead of the intended poetry.[25] However, the video was later taken down due to a copyright issue. Subsequently, Dee Kosh and Hirzi posted an apology to Nicole Choo on YouTube.[26]


The Associate Editor of Rice Media, Julian Wong addressed Dee Kosh’s video through an article titled 'At 19, Nicole Choo is A Published Poet. So What?". In the article, he argues that it was unfair for them to have undermined Nicole Choo’s work in such an insensitive and crass manner. Julian spoke out against the way Dee Kosh and Hirzi commented on her book, stating that at times their commentary "... came uncomfortably close to sexual harassment and cyberbullying...".[27] The article also included encouraging sentiments from local Youth Poet Ambassador Pooja Nansi who felt that poetry was subjective and that everyone should have the opportunity to express their creativity.

BTS ARMY social experiment (2018)

The video in which Dee Kosh revealed the social experiment. Photo from YouTube thumbnail of video.

On 18 October 2018, Dee Kosh had posted a tweet saying “Unpopular Opinion : BTS’s songs all sound the same. I need something fresh! Come on now….”.[28] This comment was not taken too kindly by the K-pop group's fans as they started responding to his comments negatively on Twitter. Subsequently, it appeared that Dee Kosh’s YouTube channel had been deleted due to this incident. He posted a video where he seemed distressed due to all the hateful comments he had been getting from BTS fans. He also mentioned that the fans had gone too far by emailing his bosses in the radio station he was working at about this incident.[29]


However, Dee Kosh himself later revealed that the whole stunt was a social experiment  intended to provoke reaction from the BTS fans. Through this experiment, he wanted to show the consequences of ‘mob mentality’ prevalent in Singapore society.

Eden Ang exposé (2018)

For more information on the incident, refer to Eden Ang.

Dee Kosh had initially spoken out about Eden Ang’s alleged sexual harassment incident on Instagram Live where he revealed the evidence that was sent to him by the alleged victim.[30] He had then uploaded these Instagram Live videos on his YouTube channel. His video sparked more responses from the key people involved the incident, which resulted in the unfolding of the whole saga.

Awards & accolades

In 2015, Dee Kosh was nominated for two awards in the Singapore Social Media Awards (SSMAs). Held in May 2015 and hosted by Aaron Jansen and Cleo Chew, the SSMAs was an independently run online awards show acknowledging Singaporean online content creators.[31] The results show spanned three episodes on YouTube, accompanied by additional interview videos (YouTube channel playlist).
