By Stacy Nguyen Northwest Asian Weekly Hey, everyone. I know that it feels a little bit weird to consume pop culture news this week when most of our news focus should be on the George Floyd protests and furthering the conversation about why, above all, Black Lives Matter —as well as the hard work that […]
Scandals and pop news in the time of Corona — A-pop! API things in popular culture!
In a video, she said, “Yeah, till July sounds like a bunch of bullshit. I’m sorry. It’s a virus, I get it. I respect it. But at the same time, like, even if everyone gets it — like, yeah, people are gonna die. Which is terrible. But inevitable?”
A-pop! Hall of Fame/Shame: Who made it big in 2019, and who fell flat on their faces!
2019 saw Asians get more visibility in popular culture than ever before — some of it good, some of it not so good.
A-POP! IS JOHN CHO OKAY?! Plus, a CEO strikes back at his haters
This column, I feel like, is largely about how Asian people fall prey to things out of their control.
Man, it’s hard being a man. I get it now, Quentin Tarantino, Dalai Lama, South Korean government, and dude who will play Shang-Chi.
This month, we learn that it’s pretty difficult being a really smart man who has a lot of answers—but no one will listen to all the smart things you are saying! WTF!
A-pop! Constance Wu seems humble
While the “Crazy Rich Asians” fever pitch was happening last summer, I was very withholding in my appreciation, very careful and moderated.

OMG, maybe I was wrong, and it’s our South Korean overlords we should worry about?
Sometimes I like to be my own worst critic and read my column through the lens of a conservative white YouTube video commenter.
Happy Holidays! We should all be afraid of China – A-pop! All things Asian-y in popular culture!

A-pop! God, I hate Tom Cruise — Plus! Actual Asian-y goodness: Constance Wu, Alexander Hodge, Claudia Kim, Manny Jacinto
