Basketball career

When Tan was 19, he was spotted by Singapore's national coach Neo Beng Siang and was invited to be part of the Singapore Slingers. Tan played for the Singapore Slingers in the Asean Basketball League (ABL) from 2010 to 2015. As of 2019, he plays for the SBPHK Hornets in the National Basketball League.

Acting career

Controversy

Chase Tan was cast as one of the characters in My Guardian Angels, a 2020 Singaporean Chinese-language drama about three mothers struggling to raise their children alone. The fictional drama depicts Tan as Bai Shande, a paedophile basketball coach with sexually transmitted diseases who molested teenage boys. Bai was sentenced to jail and caning after his being arrested for his crimes.

The appearance of the character sparked controversy for its alleged discrimination against the LGBTQ community in Singapore, to which Mediacorp and also Tan himself made official apologies for the feature and assured the LGBTQ public that they had no intent to discriminate the LGBTQ in Singapore.
