4-12-2023 (SINGAPORE) A pilot from EVA Air has become a social media sensation not just for her flying skills but also for her striking looks. While pilots are typically celebrated for their competence in the skies, the spotlight has shifted to Wang Sing, a pilot with EVA Air, thanks to a viral post by a Taiwanese influencer.
Popular travel influencer Jiang Mi, who serves as a flight attendant for EVA Air, recently took to social media to share a picture alongside Wang Sing, praising her as the airline’s standout female pilot. Describing the 29-year-old Wang as the best in her category at EVA Air, Jiang Mi commended her not only for her flying skills but also for her friendliness, resilience, and undeniable beauty.
Contrary to the usual accolades for pilot accomplishments, this viral moment focused on the aesthetic appeal of a pilot breaking stereotypes. Jiang Mi’s post sparked admiration for Wang’s beauty, leading to a social media frenzy.
Interestingly, some eagle-eyed netizens delved deeper into Wang’s background and identified her as a former trainee graduate of the Taiwanese sister group of Japanese girl group AKB48, known as AKB48 Team TP. Despite her earlier connection to the entertainment world, Wang has since fully committed herself to her role as a pilot for EVA Air.
Jiang Mi’s viral post underlined the changing perception of gender roles in the aviation industry. She asserted that female pilots, like Wang, excel in being forward-looking, anticipating potential challenges, and carefully formulating solutions. Jiang Mi also revealed that Wang manages her own Instagram account, further highlighting her dynamic presence in both the aviation and social media realms.

Wang’s online fame extends beyond her aviation duties, as she shared glimpses of her stopover in Singapore during a flight layover in October. Documenting her visit to iconic locations such as Lau Pa Sat and indulging in local delicacies like laksa and kaya toast, Wang showcased the multifaceted nature of her experiences.
In a male-dominated industry, Wang’s rise to fame, not just for her looks but for her achievements as a pilot, challenges stereotypes and highlights the evolving landscape of diversity in aviation. As social media continues to play a role in reshaping perceptions, Wang’s story serves as a testament to the broader narrative of breaking barriers and redefining expectations in traditionally gender-specific professions.
As Wang’s popularity continues to soar, one can only hope to witness more of her presence, whether it be on a casual visit or during a stopover in Singapore for one of her flights.
