CBC sexy's it up | Steph Song stars in TV adaptation of Douglas Couplan's novel jPod
STEPH SONG joins the foray of lead Asian female characters on primetime TV. Playing the role of a motion-capture technician, Brianna "Bree" Jyang, in the "highly anticipated series based on the novel by best selling author, Douglas Coupland", Steph Song brings her best TV performance in jPod... a big upgrade from her role in the mini-series Dragon Boys.
By far CBC's sexiest cast of characters yet, jPod has fans and the press in a frenzy: "Douglas Coupland fans will drool over jPod (starring Steph Song), which chronicles the life of a video-game gore specialist," reads a headline in Vancouver's Georgia Straight. jPod's Facebook group has almost a 1000 members in just two days, most of which are young girls (likely fans of David Kopp).
For far too long, the image of a sexualized and strong Asian woman has been dominated by Asian fever for Lucy Liu or the acrobatics of international superstar Ziyi Zhang (in what seems like almost every martial arts film to come from Asia in the past couple years). Steph Song bring something fresh to the N. American TV-scape. She's not playing a fetishized and overly-imaginary (faux blond) object of desire (Charlie's Angels?), nor the exoticized female martial arts dragon lady who shows her love by taking a dart in the back. Although fictional, Bree is a very refreshingly real character, with real personality and humour.
jPod began on CBC Television on Tuesday, January 8, 2008 at 9pm.

Why would one might use the word "drooling?" Well, fans of Steph Song already know she was voted the "Number 1 Sexiest in the World" by FHM in Asia 2006" ...
jPod Trailer:
Steph Song is HOT ... and not just in the typical Lucy-Liu-yellow-fever way (that means Asian men actually find Steph Song HOT). In 2006, FHM released the following video of the photoshoot that went into her crowning issue. Don't judge! It's nowhere near Sandra Oh's breakout role (striptease) in DANCING AT THE BLUE IGUANA.
