Boo Junfeng was a founding member of Pink Dot in 2009, when attendees feared being professionally marked for just showing up. By 2016, MNC sponsors were banned overnight; 130 local SMEs replaced them. He also creative-directed SG60 NDP, shifting the theme song to the opening and expanding from 30,000 at the Padang to 200,000 at Marina Bay.
