Lee Pei Fen (born December 1987)[1] is a Singaporean host, singer and actress who has been active in the getai industry since 1993.[1]

Life and career

Lee's housewife mother is her manager and hairstylist, while Lee's father, who works as a painter, drives her to her getai shows.[1][2]

One of the few effectively bilingual getai hosts who speaks English and Mandarin as well as dialects, Lee's first getai performance was at the age of six.[3] After graduating with a diploma in business administration, Lee started performing full-time in the industry. Outside of her getai gigs, Lee hosts about 20 shows a month for clan associations, temples, community centres and corporate entities.[1][4]

In 2022, Lee acted in her first web series Gong Dou Gong Lüe, directed by Jack Neo.[5]
