Malaysia’s national men’s doubles shuttler Soh Wooi Yik has caught fans by surprise after officially revealing his new relationship on social media.
The 27-year-old took to his personal Instagram account yesterday (Dec 30) to share a cosy photo with his girlfriend, accompanied by a simple yet heartfelt caption: “I love you.”
The post has garnered 109,000 likes and 1,300 comments as of writing.
The post quickly drew attention, with fans flooding the comments section to congratulate him and praise his partner, with many calling her “very pretty”.
