The Devil Wears Prada sequel has come under fire days before its release for criticism over a Chinese character’s name.
The next chapter of the fashion saga features the original cast with several additions, including Jin Chao, Anne Hathaway’s character’s new assistant. Played by Helen J. Shen, Jin was first seen in a short clip released by 20th Century Studios, introducing herself to Hathaway’s Andy Sachs, who has just returned to work at Runway magazine.
In the clip, Jin tells Andy she’s transitioning from an intern role to a position in her department. She lists her accomplishments to Andy, including a Yale degree with a 3.86 GPA, a high ACT score (“on the very first time,” she declares), and her role as lead soprano in Yale’s a cappella group.
