Korean Adult Film Stars
The history of Korean adult film stars in the American industry does not stretch as far back in time as other ethnicities. Pioneers like Kitty Yung and Brooke Ashley made their debuts during the 1990s, at a time when Asian performers, especially those of Korean descent, were rare in mainstream adult entertainment.
The 2000s and beyond saw a broader of representation with Korean actresses like Mia Smiles, who became one of the most recognizable Asian-American stars of her era. Following in her path, newer stars such as Mia Rider and Rina Ellis have pushed through the barriers of diversity to adult film.
