U.S. Figure Skater Alysa Liu Speaks Out on Exciting Career Move

Liu is ethnically Chinese, while Hudson is half Korean. Tung is of Chinese and Swedish descent, and Skiendiel identifies as Chinese-American and Cantonese.

The Olympian celebrated her new project by releasing some behind-the-scene photos and highlighted Wasian representation in the music video.

"Shoutout Wasiaaa," part of her caption reads.

Fans came to express their admiration for Liu.

"an icon, a legend, an actor, a gold medalist ⭐️ what can’t you do?!" a top user commented.

"So so good! Watched it 700 bazillion times!!!" Asian make-up artist wrote.

"Fr best day of my life," wrote another.

Other people highlighted how the video also featured Asian elements.

"Elite meetup with mahjong and bob," one user noticed.

In the MV itself, comments hailed Laufey for being inclusive and featuring diversity.

"Laufey collected all of the wasians like infinity stones," the top comment reads.

"The expression Alyssa makes when she silently says "the heck" after Hudson gives a wink means so much to me XD," said another.

"Laufey really summoned 5 fandoms with this," another commenter said.

Liu has grown into one of the most followed celebrities since her February Winter Olympics stint. The TIME Magazine validated it just recently by naming her as one of the Top 100 Most Influential People of 2026.

The well-known magazine wrote about Liu:

"How can someone be so casual about being the best in the world? That’s for Alysa Liu to know and the rest of us to witness in a screaming frenzy. She’s flipped her ponytail after finishing a historic program that won her an Olympic gold medal for figure skating. She’s shrugged off inane questions while sending a song to the top of the charts. She’s somehow made her triumphs feel unsentimental to herself but meaningful to everyone else."
