#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/).

Om Podcasten

Jaemin and Gabe are childhood friends whose lives went in radically different directions. Jaemin dove into spirituality, nomadism, and communal living - while Gabe organized political movements, read nerdy history books, and got married. Yet they’ve always been able to meet somewhere in the middle and learn from each other’s journeys. Join Guys with Feelings as they continue their lifelong exploration of the ideas, influences, epiphanies, and yes – the feelings – that make them better men.
