Dating Asian Guys / Hot, Sexy Asian Men
I think it was KingSteve — a man whose bio says he likes “long walks on the beach and vaginas” — who asked me if I signed up on JDate because I’ve given up on Asian men. Absolutely not! Men are a lot like icecream. I like vanilla. And chocolate. Rum butternut and kosher, too, as well as many many other flavors. I’m a rainbow fucking queen. ;) I don’t have to pick one; I can like them all. In fact, I’ll give you the update on my JDate experiences tomorrow. Today, I’m writing about Asian men in general and Daniel Henney in particular because I recently found out my baby will be on the CBS medical drama Three Rivers. I’ll have you know, I was all over Daniel Henney’s dick (in my fantasies, at least) ages before most people in America even knew who the kid was. Remember? He was one of my Manly Monday picks nearly a year ago. Ah, sexy Asian men.
Awwww. What a cutie! A Desi acquaintance told me she’s already seen Daniel Henney’s Korean stuff and he can’t act. “He doesn’t speak Korean,” she said. “So, they always have him play American parts.” I don’t know if it’s true that he can’t act because I haven’t seen his Asian cinema stuff. But, even if it is true, who cares??? I just want to look at his face. :) Film and television execs need to hire more Asian men as leading actors. Hell, even the UCLA Asia Institute lists Top Ten: Hot Asian Actors Hollywood Doesn’t Yet Realize It Needs. Yet, my friends. Yet. I see Asian actors. Coming to theaters near you. Soon. Trust me on this one. (I was right about Daniel Henney, no?) In the meantime, feast your eyes on these faves (a.k.a. men with whom I’d love to make BLAsians) from the UCLA Asia Institute list:
Arjun Rampal
Won Bin
Dennis Oh
Ji-Ho Oh
Which one is your favorite?

I LOVE this post!!! Although Daniel Henney is definitely one of my favourite asians, I have to admit that Dennis Oh and Ji-Ho Oh are very very cute as well haha!
Daniel Henney in a serie?! I have to make sure that I download the complete season :-) And it completely doesn’t matter if he’s a bad actor! We just need some nice looking guys on the tv!!!

You left out John Cho and Kal Penn from the “Harold and Kumar” movies. Stoner geeks can be hot too. Right? Hm? Anybody? Beuller?

Thanks for the posting…love Arjun Rampal…own over 50 Bollywood films on DVD and he’s in half of them or so it seems. Between him, Saif Ali Khan & Milind Soman I could easily never see another Hollywood flick and not miss anything.
As for Mr. Henney here’s hoping he’ll do a better acting job in THREE RIVERS…however, my favorite Asian actor is without a doubt Lee Byung-hun…
(((YUMMM)))…but wait I cannot forget Ken Watanabe.

what…. no Sandra Oh……
lamesabassman……. Bueller….. Bueller….
May 28th, 2009 at 2:36 pm
P.S. you left out John Lone…..
lamesabassman….. and the late Bruce Lee…

It looks like you’re including both south Asian and east Asian. My vote would go for Naveen Andrews (in The English Patient, mmm). Of your choices, Arjun Rampal. If I were to include an east Asian can I drop the actor requirement and pick yongfook?
May 28th, 2009 at 5:05 pm
Arjun Rampal is mine! I claim him. Of course, I also claimed Eduardo Verastegui and then he started talking about abortion and how it’s a sin and got all right wing weird and I had to let that fantasy go.
Perhaps I should google Arjun before making him my choice. No, no. I”ll just dwell in fantasy land a little longer.

To the newly converted Arjun Rampal fans may I suggest the following films:
Yakeen, Vaada AND Ek Ajnabee, which is basically a Bollywood remake of Denzel Washington’s MAN ON FIRE.
I love his voice by the way…and to think they dubbed his voice in his 1st major film role Pyaar Ishq Aur Mohabbat.
May 28th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
I know he has done anything major in a while but I’m still crazy for Will Yun Lee. If your unfamiliar and you can find it see Mariah Carey “Oh Boy” or Elektra.

*drool* Asian actors are definitely underrated. And I actually do have a crush on John Cho, Doodlius. I think he’s adorable. Always have. Heh.
Have you seen Hrithik Roshan? http://bit.ly/NKwqO

Oops, I think putting a regular link in my last comment screwed it up – http://bit.ly/zDNFw
And yeah, Won Bin still looks tasty.
May 29th, 2009 at 1:08 am
Sendhil Ramamurthy. Enough said. But Won Bin is a nice second.
May 29th, 2009 at 10:42 pm
do i have to pick just one…i’m a greedy thing….
May 30th, 2009 at 12:55 am
My pick is Ji-Ho Oh. Dennis is also a hottie…I’ve never heard of him before, so it was a nice surprise for me. Thanks for all the eye candy! :)
May 30th, 2009 at 4:21 am
Wow, these guys are gorgeous!!! Russell Wong was my first Asian guy crush, but those guys can definitely get it!!
June 6th, 2009 at 6:16 pm
Those guys all look the same. Not because they’re all Asian, but because they look like they all have the same stylist from GQ and the same barber who cuts and molds their hair in the exact same way. And yes, they are super hot. More please. :)

You might not have heard of him, but Kenneth Choi is yummy! Oddly enough, I have a big fat crush on Masi Oka, who has his cute moments.
December 2nd, 2009 at 5:59 am
Yeah, i was thinking about you the other day. Are there any forums that you recommend I join ?
December 25th, 2009 at 10:21 am
