"But due to time constraints, we did not have time to fulfill the plan. But that's okay, meeting a legend whom I have admired as a kid is good enough."
Sofyank admitted that meeting Jackie was a great incentive for him to continue entertaining fans with the content he produces.

#SHOWBIZ: Jackie Chan makes rare appearance with son Jaycee in Switzerland
HONG KONG: American singer-actor Jaycee Chan, the son of Hong Kong icon Datuk Jackie Chan, has largely kept a low profile since his 2014 drug scandal. At that time, Jackie, 71, voiced his disappointment with his son and said he would not use his connections to help him. They reconciled after Jaycee, 42, completed his six-month prison sentence and have rarely been seen together in public until recently. On Wednesday (Aug 6), a netizen on Xiaohongshu revealed that they had unexpectedly run into Jackie and his son at Lake Geneva in Switzerland. The post included a photo of Jackie – dressed casually in an all-white outfit – strolling alongside a few others. Although Jaycee's face wasn't visible in the picture, the netizen said he was the one wearing a black cap. "I was sitting on a chair by the lake when I turned around and saw Jackie Chan! The guy in the black cap next to him was Jaycee, but I didn't snap a photo of him," the user wrote. Jackie is in Switzerland to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 78th Locarno Film Festival tomorrow. The father and son appeared together in films such as The Twins Effect II (2004) and 1911 (2011), where they showcased their on-screen chemistry. Jaycee is the only son of Jackie and his wife, former actress Joan Lin. The action star has an estranged 25-year-old daughter, Etta Ng, from an extramarital affair with former beauty queen Elaine Ng.
