Jenn is also the first Asian-American Bachelorette.

“It’s honestly incredible and I feel so grateful and honored to be this franchise’s first Asian Bachelorette,” she said in a statement after the news was announced.

“As a kid, I always wanted to see Asian representation on TV.

“I feel like it was very sparse. Whenever Asians appeared in the media, it was to fill a supporting character role, to fulfill some kind of stereotype.

“I always felt trapped by it because I thought, I don’t see myself on screen. I don’t see myself as the main character.”

YOUR MEN

On Monday, the men who will fight for Jenn’s love and affection were released.

Competitors are between 27 and 35 years old.

However, one man in particular caught Bachelor Nation’s attention.

In a video posted to The Bachelorette’s official Instagram profile, many couldn’t take their eyes off Brett.

The contestant is 28 years old, originally from Manheim, Pennsylvania, and works as a health and safety manager.

‘BEAUTIFUL BRET’

In the comments section, fans gushed over Brett’s looks and already seemed to have a favorite among the group.

One fan used the hashtag “Handsome Brett.”

“I’m here for Brett,” exclaimed another.

A third said: “Brett better be an amazing guy because he’s adorable.”
