Asian Americans in Arts and Entertainment - Internet

Internet

With the advent of YouTube, young Asian Americans have become more prominent, gaining large followings through filmmaking, comedy, or music. This includes video bloggers/comedians such as Kevin Wu, Ryan Higa and the filmmaking group Wong Fu Productions. The latter's growing influence is evident especially in Wong Fu Productions' annual concert series, International Secret Agents (ISA), which often sell out, and in which many popular Asian American guest performers appear, including Far East Movement or Poreotics. Kevin Wu's recent appearance on the 17th season of The Amazing Race marked another significant venture into mainstream media. These along with other rising Asian American talents have shared and documented their journey in Asian American blogs including channelAPA.com, TheOtherAsians, and more recently Hyphen magazine.

Brothers Jimmy Wong and Freddie Wong also own popular youtube channels, with the former acting in and the latter producing the web series Video Game High School.
