'Model Squad': Ping Hue opens up about diversity in the modeling industry and her difficult dating life

The New-York born Chinese beauty, Ping Hue, cannot contain her excitement as she gets ready to represent the Asian-American community on the big screen

Today is the day E!'s 'Model Squad' premieres and Ping Hue hopes the viewers will get to relate to a refreshing new take on the modeling industry, the part that the model admits "are not uploaded on social media." The New-York born Chinese beauty, Ping Hue, landed her first editorial feature in Vogue China alongside Asian supermodels Liu, Tao, Danni Li and Du Juan, photographed by Dan Jackson. Now, with a decade in the industry, Hue is all set to make a difference, especially by representing the Asians in the high fashion industry. Well, she's done that, but she aspires for more.

"Growing up I never identified with anyone on TV, besides Lucy Liu," laughs Hue. "I feel that currently, it's an age when Asian-Americans can relate to me and be inspired to make a difference and know that it's okay to not really fit in. I've learned to embrace my individuality and the confidence I have really helps to push through the job fraught with a lot of rejections," she adds.
