In September 2023, Sng was one of the actors chosen for the Mediacorp-Huanyu Entertainment partnership, where the Chinese talent management company will represent him in China.[5]

Sng plays the violin, piano, and erhu. He is also a former member of the Singapore National Youth Orchestra, and is a host of their online programme Music Chatterbox.[6]

Sng took the Mensa test when he was in primary school and was admitted to the organisation where members are tested to have an IQ of above 130.[7]

Sng named American business magnate Elon Musk as one of the people he idolises the most.[8]

In February 2023, Sng and his fanclub, "The Baeden Club", raised more than $1,800 for the victims of the Turkey–Syria earthquake. The donations were later handed to the Singapore Red Cross Society.[9]
