While Bling Empire might be hailed for crossing Crazy Rich Asians with Keeping Up with the Kardashians, hunky black sheep Kevin Kreider isn’t loaded like the rest of the cast – but has done TedX and Google talks on Asian masculinity

If you’ve been watching season one of Bling Empire, we don’t even need to ask: we know you’re a fan of the (hunky) black sheep in this cast of “real-life Crazy Rich Asians ”, Kevin Kreider.

From his adorable naivety when it comes to haute couture (Hermès starts with an “H”, Kevin), to his puppy love for China-born co-star and serial entrepreneur Kelly Mi Li, there’s a lot to love about this mama’s boy from Philadelphia.

Bling Empire, which debuted on January 15, follows the lives of wildly wealthy Asian and Asian-American socialites and entrepreneurs living in Los Angeles. A cross between Crazy Rich Asians and Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the show offers all the delights of reality television, with a glimpse of sunny Southern California’s Asian subculture.

Here’s what we know about Kevin Kreider – and why this 37-year-old fitness coach is one to watch.

Yep, he is Korean-American

After getting his DNA test results on-screen, Kreider confirmed that he is 78 per cent Korean.
