KoreAm: She’s no Asian fetish. She’s Diana Oh & The Sister Rosettas

It sounded like a variation of a pick up line Diana Oh has heard many times before, but she was in no mood to be some white guys Asian fetish.

According to KoreAm, it was also the pick up line that lead to the formation of a new indie band with Oh as the lead singer.

The story of The Sister Rosettas goes like this.

She was  hurriedly walking down the street carrying a guitar case when Eric Miranda tried to stop her to talk about music. He told her he once formed a band called Ming Dynasty.

Yeah, right, Oh thought to herself.
