1. EJAE, Audrey Nuna & REI AMI from KPop Demon Hunters - Golden (Glowin’ Version)
EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami -- the singing voices of Huntr/x from Kpop Demon Hunters -- were on Jimmy Kimmel Live to perform an all-new "Glowin'" version of "Golden." If you've been following this crazy ride, you know they've been making the rounds, but this was, hands down, their best live performance of the song so far. The new arrangement is gorgeous. And shout out for the string ensemble accompaniment comprised entirely of Asian women! I'm telling you, if this was their final audition to perform at the Oscars, they friggin' booked it.
2. Chloe Kim dislocates shoulder, could miss Olympics
Oof. Ouch. Snowboarder Chloe Kim has dislocated her shoulder and is unsure if she'll compete in next month's Winter Olympics. The two-time gold medalist announced her injury this week on social media, explaining that she "took the silliest fall" during training in Switzerland this week. After grabbing gold in Pyeongchang and Beijing, Kim was widely considered the favorite to top the podium again in Italy. Well, damn. Please join me as we lift up a prayer for Chloe's shoulder.
3. Lucy Liu - "Rosemead" | The Daily Show
I love it when Ronny Chieng's on the desk at The Daily Show because it's clear that he unabashedly uses the opportunity to give Asian guests some shine. Case in point: Lucy Liu, who gives a tour-de-force starring performance in the indie drama Rosemead, which hits theaters in nationwide in limited release this weekend. Ronny and Lucy talk about Liu’s connection to the film and how its themes of mental health and grief affected her, the time she directed Ronny onscreen, and how taking risks has led to the biggest rewards in her career. Plus, a surprise cameo from another Liu.
