Oh my god, it’s happening. The first episode of the rumored Asian-American reality show actor/singer Tyrese Gibson is producing has been shot over this weekend in Los Angeles’ K-Town.
As reported by ChannelAPA.com, the show will feature 4 guys: Young Lee, Joe Cha, Peter Le, and Steve Kim. Starring opposite will be 4 girls: Jennifer Field, Scarlet Chan, Peter Le, and Jasmine Chang. While based in K-Town, at least from their last names, the group looks to be mixed with both Chinese, Taiwanese, and Korean heritage.
The show might be terrible. The show could be awesome. Or the show could just be a guilty pleasure for most of us much as Jersey Shore was. Good or bad, I can appreciate the diversity we’re getting in the portrayal of Asian Americans in mainstream media. At the very least, it’ll be refreshing for America to find something outside of the typical model minority type depiction of Asians such as those played on Better Luck Tomorrow.

If the show continues to get more ridiculous than Jersey Shore, I think it’s going to offend more than just a few of the Asian Population.
But still, 1 thing I agree w/ Will is that at least the show won’t reinforce the stereotypes that all Asians are nerds who are good at Math and Sciences
Asian will never get back up from this.
I think imma enjoy this show because it will relate to us azns thats w/in the party nightlife scene which comes with Fun&Drama =.P
It’ll be fun guys, buck up*
Sometimes reality shows are annoying & so over the top but for some reason ya just cant help but to watch. Its like an annoying song u hate but always seem to sing the tune when it plays lol.. =.D
Purpose of MTV shows: Ratings.
Nothing else.
I have a feeling that this show is going to offend quite a few people in the Asian population… just like Jersey Shore was to the Italians.
You’ve got to be kidding me.
Because it’s like Jersey Shore and the Real World I don’t think their goal is breakdown any stereotypes. I hope the bring the drama!

I’m not too sure when any show on MTV really had a purpose.
@jasmine, somehow I don’t think the cast will disappoint. We’ll just have to see when the pilot airs.
