Could Korean actress Jun Ji Hyun be Chinese? Recently there have been allegations that the actress has hid her Chinese roots to succeed in the Korean entertainment industry.

Her father allegedly is an ethnic Chinese, and she has been reported as also an ethnic Chinese by local media. The rumor has further been fueled by the changing of her original surname “Wang” to “Jun.” Wang is a common Chinese name, however it is also common in Korea as well.

The actress released the following statement:

“What about it if I am an ethnic Chinese? I don’t understand why it needs to be hidden. Isn’t it a good thing since I would also be able to speak Chinese? Sometimes I even think that it is too bad that I am not an ethnic Chinese when I hear those rumors.”

Jackie Chan: “China needs to be controlled”04.20.09

Jackie Chan recent comment in regards on whether China people “need to be controlled” have causes an rebuke amongst it fellow people in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

He believes that China being a free country may not be beneficial for its citizens.

I’m not sure if it’s good to have freedom or not,” Chan said Saturday. “I’m gradually beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled. If we’re not being controlled, we’ll just do what we want.”

Chan’s comment drew applauses amongst predominantly Chinese audience of business leaders, but it didn’t sit well with lawmakers of Hong Kong and Taiwan.

“He’s insulted the Chinese people. Chinese people aren’t pets,” Hong Kong pro-democracy legislator Leung Kwok-hung told The Associated Press. “Chinese society needs a democratic system to protect human rights and rule of law.”

Babe Interview: Lynhthy Nguyen04.20.09

What is your ethnicity?
Vietnamese

AmpedAsia.com: Do you speak the language of your homeland?
Yes, I think I’m pretty fluent, but when I went back to Vietnam they said I sounded cute =(. So I’m probably not as fluent as I think haha.

AmpedAsia.com: Have you ever visited your home country, and if yes how did you like it?
Yes! I went for my first time in the summer of 2005 and it was AMAZING! I loved it so much. I was able to fully immerse myself in my culture and finally see what my parents were talking about all my life. Finally meeting my dad’s side of the family was great too. The beaches were also beautiful, I had no idea– the whitest sand and clearest water I’ve ever seen. The only thing I was not able to get used to was the humidity, and also I got over 10 intense mosquito bites, that wasn’t fun. Oh and I forgot to mention the food… AMAZING! It was like $1.00 or less for everything and everything was so good! I gained about 5 pounds in a week haha. I love my Vietnamese food =)

AmpedAsia.com: How did you get started in the modeling industry?
Pretty crazy story, I went to HIN (Hot Import Nights) LA this year on an audition to become one of their go-gos and a guy approached me by the name of Mike Munar and asked if I’d like to tour with them. I was super ecstatic, but thought not much of it at the same time because I didn’t want to set myself up for disappointment so I gave him my contact info thinking he wouldn’t call. Next thing you know, Mike calls me and sends me to Guam!

AmpedAsia.com: We see that you’re at UC Irvine, how do you balance out modeling and school and other activities?
It’s actually not hard at all. I go-go on the weekends so it doesn’t interfere with school and I book my photoshoots on the weekdays after I get out of class.

AmpedAsia.com: Do you like the school you’re at now?
I absolutely love it!

AmpedAsia.com: Where do you see yourself ten years from now?
Hopefully I’ll be a nurse anesthetist, happily married, with 2 beautiful healthy children (an older son and younger daughter, so the older brother can watch out for his sister of course), a MILF preferably haha, living in southern California still, and giving back and supporting my wonderful parents that have supported me so much throughout my entire life

AmpedAsia.com: After you die, what would you like to be remembered for?
Just as a fun-loving girl that loves to dance

AmpedAsia.com: What do you like most about yourself?
I like that I’m a happy person and that I try to spread my optimism to others.

AmpedAsia.com: What is something that most people don’t know about you?
I don’t like wearing bras and I’m obsessed with eyelashes.

AmpedAsia.com: Describe a typical weekend night of fun.

AmpedAsia.com: What are you passions/hobbies?
Dancing has been and will always be my #1. I love it with a passion and I will never stop as long as I’m able to walk =). Actually, I’ll probably try to dance even if I’m bed ridden haha. I also enjoy eating, sleeping, and working out when I’m not dancing.

AmpedAsia.com: Any favorite movies?
Mean Girls! It’s genius. Also I’m really into the Superbad and Juno humor. And as like any other girl, I’m a sucker for romantic comedies like When Harry Met Sally.

AmpedAsia.com: Are you taken or single?
Lynhthy Nguyen: Happily taken for 2 years and 4 months yesterday ;)

AmpedAsia.com: What kind of things/traits stand out when you decide you may like somebody?
Lynhthy Nguyen: Their wit, ambition, intelligence, smile, honesty, spontaneity, and definitely the way they make me feel (if I get that butterfly feeling or not), and they have to be able to make me laugh because I love laughing.Oh and a hot bod ;)

AmpedAsia.com: Now you can promote anything, your myspace, website, etc.
Lynhthy Nguyen: http://www.myspace.com/lynhthy

Thanks AmpedAsia! It was a pleasure =)
