There was something refreshing about her back in the day, a genuine girl next door. I don't follow her anymore she bored me too much. TBH don't really follow any Asian bloggers anymore besides my ride or die Jen Chae Fromheadtotoe. I adore her, something so genuine about her
You are being sarcastic about jen char right???
No I'm not. Yes she does sponsorships but her more personal videos are really meaningful and I really like her.
She's not as instagram baddie as the others are
Genuine??? I'm surprised you find her genuine since she changed so much when she moved to California. If you're interested in dissenting opinions or wanna defend her she has a thread in the trash a guru section.
Btw I know I've called jen whitewashed when she insulted Asian Americans in an interview. She joked I wasn't blessed with the smart gene which was her shitting on herself and other Asian-Americans which I find insufferable since asians are shitted on from everywhere especially in Hollywood and media
Here is the post AGAIN IN ALL ITS GLORY

I hated how she said in the interview "I didn't get that gene."( the smart Asian gene) I find it so offensive and whitewashed. No those kids work hard and may be genetically blessed... and you are just laZy and white washed. I don't want this bitch representing asian-Americans and making offensive statements like this. We get this shit bad enough as it is through so many channels. She shit on herself unless she considers herself detached from the uncool Asian American group which is so f'ed up
She is the worst person to ask about Asian-Americans. She exploits her pseudo koreanness when she needs to... that is all and it is disgusting

Omg.. that pisses me off so much. Jenn's just fucking lazy because she didn't know how to study LMAO. Yes, some people can be better at test-taking or whatsoever, but I highly doubt there's a gene that makes you a genius. The Asian people she's dismissing work their asses off in school day in and day out, and you should know because you're fucking Korean, and Korea is one of the top countries with a suicide problem. (While she doesn't have to know the specifics of Korea because she wasn't raised there, I think she should at least know that her home country has a problem like that, and some of it is related to the academic rigor/expectations that people place on high school/college students.) You just didn't know how to apply yourself and failed lol, you don't need to perpetuate stereotypes about your own fucking race just because you weren't that smart in school.
I respectfully disagree. As an asian myself yes we do work harder than most kids and yes we do have a higher standard of discipline. But sometimes Asian kids can be bad at school as well. take for instance my brother, he's not dumb by any means, he's a very bright kid but he just never did well in school. It could have been for many factors such as we lived in an area that didn't have asians and had to switch four schools because people constantly bullied my brother (to the point of beating him up) for his asian eyes, and in school he would try so hard to fit in and sometimes paid attention to that more than education. Now my brother, graduated college (not with honors) however he is currently at a high ranking position at a top banking company, so he's done really well for himself. He was never the best at school but he was always and is one of the smartest people I know.
I think sometimes people put a lot of pressure on asians to be good at school because it is the stereotype, and sometimes that is not the case, sometimes you do try your best but you still do bad and that doesn't mean you're lazy. I think Jen maybe like my brother, maybe she did try her best and it wasn't enough. Many people do have learning disabilities, but at least in my upbringing we were always told "you're just lazy" and never taken seriously about things like that. It may very well be that Jen has a learning disability or maybe she just found it difficult at school, doesn't mean she's "shitting on other asians". (Although if you meant that Asians are just smart and get things without studying, lol no we work very hard and I agree no such thing as a "smart" gene) Asians don't have to live up to a stereotype. I don't think that means Jen is dumb by any means, she's done quite well for herself and seems to be a smart businesswoman. IDK I'm not much to hate on people for little things, it has to be many things in order for me to really be upset with them. I still like Jen Chae, I know she does sponsored videos /instagram posts a lot, but really its the personal videos and posts that keep me a fan of her. I just feel she's a kind soul. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions of course and sorry this is so off topic.
The reason I don't like Jenn Im is the following 1) she's changed to be too much like Sophia's style, and if I wanted to see Sophia's style I would just watch Sophia's well edited videos instead. 2) I don't like how she likes being british its so fake and I miss who she was in college, she was just herself and that was great. 3) I don't like Ben 4) I don't like that she treats her bff Stephanie badly. 5) I don't like how she's only acting into korean stuff to get more views.
See with Jen Chae, she always liked korean things, I remember her recommending this korean pop song once, and she said she went to korean school when she was younger.
Jenn Im has never mentioned anything korean from the time I started following her when she was in UCD, and all of a sudden korean beauty gets popular and she's a fan? I mean smart business move but I see right through it
