She's not that pretty


She's just okay. I don't get the hype at all when there's tons of better looking asians out there I seen locally. Some famous girls include:
Janine Tuganon
Hyori Lee
Kelly Hu
Joanna Bacalso
Brenda Song
Gina Hiraizumi

The bar for Hollywood is pretty low as long as you're Asian, therefore "exotic". Look at Lucy liu, she is actually considered ugly in the Asian entertainment world yet she is worshipped in Hollywood simply bc she fits the typical profile - slanted eyes, high cheekbones, black sleek hair etc. Hollywood doesn't care for Kelly Hu and her type, she's too "white" looking = not exotic enough.
