Having one doctor in the family is impressive enough. But what about seven?

Meet the Chens. Heading the household are Dr Leon Chen, a dental implant pioneer, and Dr Jennifer Cha, a co-founder of an international clinic chain. Their five children – Nina, Audree, Niq, Aleq and Nasdaq – all practise dentistry.

They came to attention online three years ago when Niq started posting his personal vlogs, a form of visual diary, on YouTube and TikTok. The vlogs occasionally offered a glimpse into his Asian-American family that happened to have seven dentists around one dinner table.

A single video introducing the roster posted in January this year racked up over 92 million views on Instagram, prompting Reddit threads and comments from people around the world fixated not only on their profession, but also on how good-looking the Chens were.

“Why are they all so hot?” one user mused in a subreddit titled “Asian family final boss”.

But beneath all that social media noise is a story of quiet dedication, accidental mentorship and a family bonded as much by blood as by choice.
