After nearly 7-years of living in the shadow of William Hung, Taiwanese YouTube sensation Lin Yu Chun may finally put a mild dent in people’s impressions when “Asian Person” and “American Idol” comes to mind. Well maybe not. But like how Susan Boyle took the UK and Internet by storm last year, Lin Yu Chun is doing the same in Asia. His YouTube video(s) has amassed over 7 million views already and if you haven’t watched it yet, scroll down and check it out! » Read more: Lin Yu Chun — Taiwanese Susan Boyle Hits YouTube

After MTV went 24-seasons without casting a single Asian-American male on The Real World, Asian-Americans may finally get a piece of the limelight on a show not-named Americas Next Best Dance Crew on MTV.

Nothing’s official and nothings final, but Tyrese Gibson is apparently co-producing and casting “interesting, attractive, colorful Asian-Americans to cast in a reality show similar to Jersey Shore, Real World, and The Hills.”

If you’re interested, I encourage you to apply and bring some much needed diversity to MTV’s lineup, here’s the Craigslist posting:

Tyrese Gibson’s production company HQ Pictures is looking for interesting, attractive, colorful Asian-Americans to cast in a reality show similar to JERSEY SHORE, REAL WORLD, THE HILLS, etc.. We need beautiful Asian-Americans with lively, strong, and unique personalities between the ages of 18 to 30 with equally interesting life stories and perspectives to share, especially individuals who know about and/or experienced the Koreatown life.

Please email us headshots/photos and a cover letter in the body of the email briefly describing yourself and why you should be included in this show. Competition is fierce as we are getting thousands of applicants so do your best to grab our attention! Be sure to include basic contact info such as name, age, phone #, email, and any other bits of interesting information that will make you stand out.

Somehow, the @yahoo.com email address leaves me skeptical. But imagine all the possible Jersey Shore like Asian American characters you’re going to get.
