Kim and Wu weren’t the only Asian-American celebrities to raise awareness for the case as Marvel stars Gemma Chan, Chloe Bennett and future Shang Chi star Simu Lu took to social media as well.

Having the backing of Kim and Daniel Wu put a much-needed spotlight on an ever-increasing problem that many have faced after the COVID-19 pandemic hit the United States.
