About Simu Liu's statement & declarations re #KimsConveniencehttps://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/television/article-bitterness-abounds-more-fallout-from-kims-convenience/ …
Dear sir, as an Asian Canadian woman, a Korean-Canadian woman w more experience and knowledge of the world of my characters, the lack of Asian female, especially Korean writers in the writers room of Kims made my life VERY DIFFICULT & the experience of working on the show painful

Oh Jean, I’m so sorry to read this. Representation doesn’t just mean diversity in front of the camera. Thank you for speaking your truth.

Exactly!

Your attack on my cast mate
@SimuLiu, in the defense of my fellow Korean artist Ins Choi is neither helpful nor merited. Mr. Choi wrote the play, I was in in. He created the TV show, but his co-creator Mr. Kevin White was the showrunner, and clearly set the parameters. -
This is a FACT that was concealed from us as a cast. It was evident from Mr. Choi's diminished presence on set, or in response to script questions. Between S4 and S5, this FACT became a crisis, and in S5 we were told Mr. Choi was resuming control of the show.

I'm so sorry to hear that Jean. It's hard to be a POC, yet alone a woman (I'm a mixed black man myself) in the Western World that undervalues and discriminates against us. If
@Netflix brings the show back I hope the cast has a say on who is running it behind the scenes -
I really hope there's greater Asian representation both behind and in front of the camera if the show does resume

How does someone who wasn't in the writers room or involved in the show come in to comment on how it was run? If he didn't like the comments from Simu that is fine but why write a whole article "debunking" something he has no experience with? Sorry to the cast of the show.
