It's official, "Kudasai Girl" has landed in Singapore. What's more, the TikTok viral star is holding a meet-and-greet at Sentosa this Friday (June 14) – a chance for local fans to join in her famous "kudasai" chant.
Kudasai Girl is Devin Halbal (@hal.baddie), a travel influencer who began posting videos of her solo travels in 2021. In them, she's often seen with her signature long selfie stick, confidently walking the streets and spinning catchy phrases like "doll check-in", "Met Gala behaviour", and "I'm a butterfly". A proud advocate for trans women like herself, she's steadily amassed a huge following with her witty charm and positive energy.

On a trip to Japan at the start of the year, she posted a clip of herself in Japan singing, “sushi kudasai" (meaning "give me sushi"). The Internet jumped on it, and the clip (and catchphrase) went viral – propelling her to destinations like Korea, Hong Kong, and later this June, Malaysia and Kazakhstan. Scores of fans have shown up to meet her at each destination – things even got so hectic in Jeju that she had to be escorted away in a police car.
Her next stop? Singapore. In some of her latest videos, Devin is seen at Changi Airport singing, "Changi Airport kudasai", "kopi peng kudasai", and "lobang kudasai" – so we know she's all ready to charm the locals with Singapore-specific phrases. The TikTok star seems to be exploring the city's sights now, hitting up Jewel Changi Airport, what looks like Tanjong Pagar, and meeting the jungle fowl. To meet her though, wait for the meet-and-greet on June 14 at Sentosa Palawan Green. Happening from 5pm to 6pm, the event's your chance to yell "kudasai" with the Kudasai Girl herself.
