The continuous development of the AI technology has made TikTok grow better,
to the point that it is now on a par with other social media apps. In fact, it
is currently the top choice for the younger generation when it comes to
producing and consuming short 15- to 60-second videos.
Indirectly, TikTok has opened a path for anyone to become a content
creator, depending on the passion and creativity that they wish to convey
through their videos. Most of the content creators have also successfully become
internationally known TikTok stars.
2020 is undoubtedly the peak for TikTok since many content creators spend most
of their time on the platform during the global pandemic. While most of them
may be based in the US, we’ll take this moment to appreciate those who hail
from our side of the world by listing down the top 10 TikTok stars in Asia.
