Head of The Celebrity Agency Ivy Low said that the 12 individuals have proven their "strong passion for acting" throughout the seven-month competition, which the company hopes to support and nurture with tailor-made programmes.
She added, “In the coming months, Mediacorp will continue to train them, as well as provide the environment and resources for them to blossom and become stars.”
To do so, the media giant will push a specially scripted title for the Star Search winners, named "All Around You《回路网》"
The show, which will screen on Toggle and Channel 8, features a group of "young social media experts whose jobs are to help clients manoeuvre and manipulate the intricate online universe, only to end up being entangled in their own trap".
