Welcome to another week of LEMON. This week we discuss:

• Rebel Wilson has announced she's making a movie about K-pop and Asian Twitter is NOT HAPPY.
• The synopsis: “Seoul Girls,”follows a Korean American high school girl and her friends who enter a worldwide talent competition, which seeks the opening act for the world’s biggest K-pop boy band.The girls will get help from “an ex-member of a British girl group and a former K-pop trainee” to “find their voices on the world’s biggest stage.”
• With only one Asian screenwriter attached to the movie so far - could this further stereotype Asian people in mainstream media?

AND

• Is being Asian holding you back from work promotions by default? We discuss the recent article by the ABC about how Asian-Australians and Asian-Americans are struggling to break through the 'bamboo ceiling'
• Bamboo ceiling is similar to ‘glass ceiling’ for women, which refers to the idea about the invisible barriers through which Asian people can see managerial positions but cannot reach them.
