Sharing old photos of themselves has never lost its charm online. Especially when a celebrity posts a throwback, it always sparks a buzz. The latest to do this is Soytiet (real name Sô Y Tiết, born 1988), the viral star famous for his number-counting song.
On his personal Instagram, Y Tiết posted a photo from his youth with the caption: “16 years ago”. This year, he’s 32, which means he was just 16 in the picture. In the photo, he’s rocking a white shirt tucked into dark pants, wearing black sunglasses, looking super cool.

Under Soytiet’s photo, fans didn’t hold back their excitement and surprise, mostly international followers. Some even thought he was a 50-year-old uncle until seeing this picture made them believe he’s actually 32.

Recently, Soytiet’s fame has gone beyond Vietnam, reaching a global audience. He keeps posting clips of himself counting numbers in English, which has become his signature.
Currently, Soytiet has a huge international fanbase who adore his genuine and down-to-earth vibe. His profile now has 653k followers, and he posts only in English to connect with this wide audience.
