She also reflected on harmful Asian stereotypes in the entertainment industry. \"I think there's always been a challenge of how Asians have been represented in media,\" she said, before adding, \"Asian women have always been sort of a prize or a trophy or a sexual desire.\"

She said when she decided to pursue a career in acting, she resolved to combat those stereotypes with the roles she sought out.

\"One of the things I hoped for and really wanted was I didn't have to be the 'Sexy Girl No. 1' or 'Massage Girl No. 2,' -- or some sort of a sexual object -- because the whole reason of pursuing entertainment for me was I just wanted to be a part of, hopefully, representation,\" she said.
