His talent did not go unnoticed, as he received his first nomination for “Best Newcomer” at the Star Awards in 2018, highlighting his rapid ascent in the industry.
Expanding his repertoire, Koh transitioned to film, where he showcased his skills in various roles. He garnered acclaim for his portrayal of a gangster leader in the movie Wonderful!

He further solidified his acting prowess in the horror film 23:59: The Haunting Hour 《23:59 猛鬼兵营》.
Koh's versatility has led him to take on leading roles in two films directed by Jack Neo, The Diam Diam Era, released in 2020 and 2021, and The Fatekeepers, set to premiere in 2022. With his strong foundation in acting, he is poised to embrace new challenges and broaden his reach within the regional entertainment industry.
