#25 - The Rise of the Asian Hunk

In this special episode, Jaemin and Alan dive deep on something they've been waiting their ENTIRE lives for: The Rise of the Asian-American Hunk! The guys discuss how shittily Asian men have always been portrayed onscreen (silent, serious, and sexless) and how that's finally starting to change. They explore Jaemin's lifelong struggle with his Korean identity, the power of seeing yourself represented on-screen, and why Jet Li never got to kiss Aaliyah. ### **Find Us Online** [Gabe’s Twitter](https://twitter.com/gaberose) [Jaemin’s Twitter](https://twitter.com/jaemin_yi) [Alan's Twitter](https://twitter.com/alanai) – Jaemin’s latest post: [What Rap and Dirty Talk Have in Common](http://www.jaeminyi.com/rap-and-dirty-talk/) Music for the podcast: “As Colorful As Ever” by [Broke For Free](http://brokeforfree.com/).
