Maybe it’s those puppy dog eyes. Or his youthful appeal. That he’s more often than not buck-ass naked probably has a lot to do with it too. Whatever the reason, I run across photos of Jake Ng Ming Han often on the internet, and invariably save them to my hard drive when I do. And then later when I rediscover them there usually think, “Oh, it’s that guy again.”
So I thought I should gather those photos all together and do an Eye Candy post. It was only then that I realized how many of him I’ve collected over the years. There’s enough to do several Eye Candy posts. And a week or two worth of daily Nude Dude posts too.
It was also only after I started culling through those photos for today’s post that I found a name to put to that body. Not that I found out much more about him. But with an name came both his Facebook and Instagram accounts – and more photos – and reading between the lines it’s obvious the boy is gay. And from Singapore. And needs to do a new photo shoot wearing his glasses ‘cuz he’s really, really adokably cute in eyewear. I also discovered he owns a pair of red crocs. But I won’t hold that against him.
It’s been enough years since I first saw one of his shots that I thought he might be one of those whose photos are still making the rounds but who has aged well past their prime. But the boy has held up amazingly well and still flashes that boyish look. I assume he rose to fame when he hit puberty, but that bit of renown spread when he became a Singapore Manhunt finalist in 2008. Even more so when during that contest nude photos of him were leaked to the press.
Those photos, he says, were from a photo shoot he did for an Australian photographer two years earlier. In the man’s hotel room. He claimed that he had agreed to the shoot initially because the photographer had told him it was a trial shoot for an ad campaign for a brand of jeans. Midway through the shoot, Jake claims the photographer asked him to remove his clothes. “I didn’t want to,” he says. “I was uncomfortable and reluctant. I got suspicious. I told him I did not think it was necessary since the ad was for jeans.”
The photographer offered to increase Jake’s fee for the shoot from $1,800 to $4,000, and Jake succumbed to the promise of fame. ‘I thought it was my big break,’ he said.
Jake’s nude photos surfacing during the male beauty pageant was quite a scandal at the time; even the police became involved. He didn’t win, but the director of the contest said the scandal did not affect his chances of winning the competition. “‘If the contestant had done such a shoot during the contest, we would look into the matter.” he said. “‘But this was something he had done in the past.'”
At the time Jake told the press the photos embarrassed him and that he’d learned a lesson. “I know now it is not easy to gain the fame I expected.” he said. “I am very cautious now. I won’t do such a shoot again, unless it is for ads by well-known brands, and it is coordinated by my manager.”
But then he also told the press he wasn’t gay. And never quite explained how a photo shoot for a jeans ad campaign ended up with him erect, not to mention obviously manscaped. And despite having said he’d never do such a shoot again, it’s obvious he did. Many times. Thank the gods. And there’s a video too. But with an overabundance of photos for today’s post despite how hard I attempted to winnow them down, you’ll have to wait for a link to that in tomorrow’s End of the Week post. By then you’ll probably be ready to Jake it again anyway.

I’ve seen some of the photos many times. Thanks for the links. Like you, I can’t believe he did not know exactly what he was in for. If it was just an ad campaign, how come the white underwear photos show an obviously rampant erection? But I guess he had to give the media some excuse!

I guess after the , “I’m not gay,” he decided to go for a grand slam.

Naked or not, he’s one hot dude.

I like him. And just because he comes from Singapore, I’m more than willing to forgive him any excuse he might have felt necessary to make up. He’ll get my, uhm, three thumbs up.

I’m just glad what ever trauma he suffered from the exposure of his initial photo shoot didn’t keep him from taking it off for the camera again. And again. And again.
