MediaCorp artiste Li Nanxing, who is one of Singapore television's leading men, is poised to tread out of familiar territory.

Li Nanxing has signed a five-year contract with artiste management company LNX Global, which will manage his foray into the overseas market.

Although a freelance artiste, Li Nanxing will continue to work with MediaCorp exclusively in Singapore.

"I'm very happy this opportunity came along. I feel this is the right time for me to venture out and LNX Global provides the platform for this. At the same time, I will still be working with MediaCorp exclusively because this is where my roots are. I want to continue to support the Singapore entertainment industry. After all, without MediaCorp, where would I be? But of course, anytime MediaCorp has overseas assignments for me, I would also consider."

Manager for Nanxing, Teri T. Tan clarifies, "We've been preparing him (Nanxing) for the overseas market with an image revamp and courses because we are getting offers for films, commercials, and endorsements overseas, which may be potentially suitable for Nanxing. Now that he's willing to consider, we will continue to evaluate these offers to see if they're appropriate."
