Teo, who began his showbiz journey in 2013 after participating in the talent scouting reality show Hey Gorgeous, has showcased his versatility in both English and Chinese language dramas. His recent portrayal of Hu Ying Jun in Mediacorp's 2024 series To Be Loved earned him a Best Actor nomination at Star Awards 2025. The actor has expressed gratitude for the support and guidance he has received throughout his decade-long career and is excited for his new chapter as a Mediacorp artiste. Teo has also hinted at his intention to explore new things, such as taking up dance classes, learning a new language, and possibly even trying stunt training. Despite his increasing muscular physique, which garnered attention in a viral video, Teo stated that the transformation was due to his newfound fitness routine and not for any publicity stunt. The actor also clarified that his recent photo holding hands with a girl at Orchard Gateway was not a planned publicity stunt, as he prefers to keep his personal life private.",
