When I first started PeterFever, I wanted to create a site to help Asian men into the media spotlight and break stereotypes. It&#8217;s pretty incredible to see how far Asian celebrities have come. There are a few famous Asian women in the industry, like Kelly Hu, Jamie Chung, and Lucy Liu, but it&#8217;s nice to start seeing Asian men get a start in entertainment.<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">Psy isn&#8217;t a stranger to international success, with his hit &#8220;Gangnam Style&#8221;. Now he&#8217;s back with his new single &#8220;Gentleman.&#8221; It&#8217;s just as catchy as &#8220;Gangnam Style&#8221; and the video is hilarious. Hopefully he&#8217;ll continue to break records and show the world how cool Asians can be. What do you guys think about the video?<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">httpv:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ASO_zypdnsQ<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">My assistant Alex is also told me he was in a music video for Leslie Deep&#8217;s &#8220;Sweet Sauce.&#8221; Leslie is an up and coming artist from San Francisco trying to break his own ground in the music industry. It&#8217;s good to see other Asians having dreams of being in the American entertainment business.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">httpv:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lDjzzAxWQ0Q<\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">Another Asian superstar who&#8217;s going to be breaking America soon is Godfrey Gao. For those of who are not familiar with Godfrey, he&#8217;s a Taiwanese model who landed a deal as the first Asian face of Louis Vuitton. Now he&#8217;ll be appearing in the new American franchise adaptation of the book ,<\/span><em style=\"color: #666699;\"> The Mortal Instruments,<\/em>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #666699;\">as Magnus Bane<\/span><span style=\"color: #666699;\">. What&#8217;s even better, his character in the film flaunts his gay sexuality, that will be interesting to see on the big screen.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lJIOBS-61Yg\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">I can&#8217;t wait to see what is going to happen for Asian American men in entertainment in the next few years! It&#8217;s only the beginning. I hope more Asian American&#8217;s start to realize they can be in the business as well and pursue their dreams and break these stereotypes that hold our community back.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Growing up I never had an Asian American role model to look up to, even when I asked people if they could name 5 Asian male celebrities it was difficult besides naming Jet Li and Jackie Chan.
