2026 Q1 was all about breakthroughs.
Busy, stressful, and nonstop, but also a season of real growth, clearer direction, and a lot of self-evolution. Feels like I blinked and it’s almost May.
Grateful to be surrounded by good energy and the right people, made everything worth it. Definitely one to remember ✨
Honored to be featured in this interview and article on the evolution of vertical storytelling and where the space is headed. 🙏
Huge thank you to John McLean and Luke Collings at @castingworkbook for such a thoughtful conversation and for really digging into how vertical media has grown, from an experiment into a global, scalable production ecosystem.
At @goodshortdrama , we are seeing firsthand how vertical dramas are creating real opportunities for actors, casting professionals, and producers by combining speed, accessibility, and volume with increasingly professional standards around safety, trust, and process.
What has been especially exciting is watching perceptions shift, agencies re engaging, talent leaning in, and the industry truly taking the format seriously.
Grateful to be part of this moment and to help shape where vertical goes next. 🚀

I guess my second birthday is officially January 21st 🇺🇸✨
A 10-year journey full of ups and downs, roller coasters, lessons, growth, and so much love. Every bit of effort and energy finally paid off, and I’m beyond grateful for all the people I’ve met along the way who supported me, believed in me, and walked beside me 🤍
Becoming a U.S. citizen with a bestie makes it even more special, and not to mention the sweetest colleagues and insanely talented friends who somehow all ended up in a random photo with me 😂
Feeling lucky. Feeling thankful. Feeling home. 🥹🇺🇸

Found this cute rehearsal throwback, from those days when we’d hit the dance studio and drill choreography together. On the very last session, we ditched the mirrors and took it to the street, dancing with the city’s energy around us. Just us, cars, and passing pedestrians.
Something we’ll keep forever 🤍

Grateful doesn’t even cover it 🥹💚
So thankful for every actor and teammate who trusted me this year.
Watching you grow, take risks, and step into bigger rooms is truly the best part of what I do 🎭✨
This community means everything! the trust, the hustle, the growth together.
Also… 20 pics is NOT enough to post everyone 😭So much more behind the scenes.
New year.
More stories.
More wins.
More growth. 🚀🎬
So excited for what’s ahead 🫶
Couldn’t tag everyone here, love you all 💛

2025 has been rough ever since I pulled a “bad sign” at a famous Japanese temple last year 😭They warned me. I prepared. I survived. Manifesting a refund and a better 2026 ✨Merry Christmas 🎄
自從去年在日本淺草寺第一次抽到「凶」之後，2025 就真的一路很硬 😭人家都警告我了，我也有心理準備。但我還是撐過來了。現在開始許願：退款一張籤＋2026 好一點 ✨聖誕快樂大家 ！
Trying to catch up on my social media before the year ends 😌 Once-a-year fun at @asianworldff always great vibes and even better memories with old and new filmmaker friends!
