TikTok's chief executive officer (CEO) Chew Shou Zi is the talk of the town now.

The 40-year-old has dominated headlines and social media feeds after he delivered his testimony to the U.S. Congress on Mar. 23.

The five-hour session, which saw Chew being grilled by U.S. lawmakers, came amid calls to impose a nationwide ban on the social media app.

While it remains unclear if he has won the lawmakers over, Chew has certainly won the hearts of many on the Internet, most of whom are on his own platform.
